Nicola Coughlan had the correct answer to a podcaster’s Fatshaming tweet.
In the first “Bridgerton” season, the girl Penelope, played by Nicola Coughlan, turned out to be the dreaded, pointed-tongued Lady Whisteldown. But Coughlan has not fallen on the lips in real life and does not allow insults.
A tweet by a podcaster named Amanda Richards gave rise to a Twitter argument. This is a comment on Nicolas’s appearance at the Golden Globes, which the actress had offered in the live connection to the gala. Richards did not agree with the choice of clothes and dubbed Coughlan a “fat girl” several times without giving her name.

By the way, Nicola Coughlan also posted a photo of her Golden Globes dress on Instagram:

And there is also a video about it:

The two comments are a wonderful summary of the whole matter: “You are beautiful just the way you are.” “Yes, your majesty.”
