Actress Florence Pugh (24, "Little Women") just wanted to make her Instagram followers happy and for the first time showed a photo of her friend, fellow actor Zach Braff (45, "Scrubs – The Beginners"): The British woman congratulated the US star on Monday (April 6th) in a birthday post. But not only happy congratulations gathered under the post. "Within eight minutes, around 70 percent of the comments were pejorative and terrible – basically someone on my site was bullied," the actress said in a recent video that she posted on her Instagram account.
Apparently, some users were offended by the age difference, the two actors separated by 21 years. It was the first time in her Instagram life that she had to turn off the comment function, Pugh says. Such a toxic mood would have lost nothing on her side, she only wanted to convey positive feelings on her account and make people laugh. "I will not tolerate such behavior, it makes me very sad that in the current situation we do not all support each other. We need each other and should show love for each other," said Pugh.
She is 24 years old and has been working and earning money since she was 17. At the age of 18 she was grown up. "So you don't have to tell me who I can or can't love. Nor would I tell anyone to," emphasizes the actress. Those who cannot accept this should follow her. "I don't want these followers. If you bully him, you'll do the same to me." The two actors have been dating for about a year, but have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye. The couple had met on the set of the short film "In the Time It Takes to Get There", according to the "Daily Mail".
