Nicola Coughlan, known for her role in the hit series 'Bridgerton,' sat down with 'Stylist' magazine for a candid interview about the painful body shaming she endured online while promoting the new season. The actress shared her distressing journey, disclosing how the continuous hate and unsolicited comments about her appearance left her feeling insulted and disappointed.
"I've seen a lot of discourse about my body online, which I feel like I can't even express how difficult that is," Nicola revealed.
Her role in 'Bridgerton' demanded not only her acting talent but also a year-long commitment that included countless fittings, dance classes, and filming schedules. She poured her heart and soul into the show, sacrificing time away from family. To Coughlan, the denigrating comments not only disregarded her dedication but also constituted an outright insult to her efforts.
“And then I start doing press and all people want to talk about is my body? It’s so fucking disappointing and reductive.
”
But this is not the first time Nicola has been forced to address people commenting on her body.
Back in 2022, Nicola took to Instagram to directly ask people to stop commenting on her body.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, she said: “Hello! So just a thing – if you have an opinion about my body please, please don’t share it with me. Most people are being nice and not trying to be offensive but I am just one real life human being and it’s really hard to take the weight of thousands of opinions on how you look being sent directly to you every day.”
“If you have an opinion about me that’s ok, I understand I’m on TV and that people will have things to think and say but I beg you not to send it to me directly,” she added.
