Nicola Coughlan became an overnight star with the hit series “Bridgerton”. On Instagram, she now shows the ugly sides of fame and speaks directly to her haters.
Body shaming happens every day on social media and affects many people. Celebrities are also exposed and receive comments about their appearance, weight and overall appearance. Nicola Coughlan, 35, has had enough and makes an honest statement.
“If you have an opinion about my body, don’t share it with me”
This is how Nicola Coughlan starts her post, in which she defends herself against her haters. In it she describes that although many people are nice to her and leave loving comments, she also gets messages every day that speak a completely different language. She is aware that as an actress she is exposed to public opinion, but this is no reason for meanness.
The 35-year-old writes that she is only human and that the opinions of thousands of people are difficult to process, let alone cope with. According to the actress, the different perceptions of who she is and the things people would like to say are hurtful.

Nicola Coughlan is always being rude in the comments, which is why she’s being so open about it. The comment columns on Instagram say that her clothes don’t suit her and that they basically look pretty, but not on her. Furthermore, she is too fat, so the haters. It turns out, however, that these people aren’t winning, as there are far more positive and encouraging comments among the actress’ posts. Her fans write that she is beautiful and remarkable.
