AceShowbiz - Reese Witherspoon is such a proud mom. The "Legally Blonde" actress applauded her daughter Ava Phillippe after she called out body shamers in a TikTok video.
In the said clip, the 24-year-old beauty stood in her bathroom in an oversized T-shirt. She looked away from the camera as she explained, "I saw two different strangers commenting on my body."
"The first said I should get on Ozempic because I'm too fat," she continued. "The second accused me of starving myself because I'm too thin. My weight did not change in the time period between their comments."
While No Doubt's "Just A Girl" was played in the background, Ava grabbed her red lipstick and let everyone know that she couldn't care less about people's opinions. "And it wouldn't be any of their business if it did," she said.
As Ava walked off camera, the Internet personality stressed, "No one deserves to be picked apart for what they look like." She added, "You don't always know what someone's gone through or what they struggle with."
The post did not go unnoticed by Reese, who shares Ava and son Deacon with ex Ryan Phillippe. In the comment section, "The Morning Show" star declared, "Yes to all of this," adding a kiss emoji.
Ava's fight against body shaming ties into a broader narrative about the importance of empathy and inclusivity online. Beyond her stand against superficial judgments, Ava has actively advocated for a more accepting approach to gender and sexuality.
In a response to a fan's query about her sexual orientation, Ava remarked, "I'm attracted to… people! (Gender is whatever)," showcasing her open-minded attitude toward personal identity.
Moreover, Ava takes her online presence seriously, understanding the impact her posts can have. "I do have a platform of some sort, for sure, and I want to be conscious of what I am posting," Ava shared with E! News.
