Simone Ashley Stands Up For ‘Bridgerton’ Co-Star Nicola Coughlan Following Body-Shaming Comments: “Haters Are Going To Hate”


Simone Ashley is defending her Bridgerton co-star Nicola Coughlan, who has been hit with body-shaming comments.

“Yeah, the haters are going to hate, and I think we can all relate to that, but I really don’t think that she’s allowing that to bother her,” Ashley said at a press conference on June 15. Coughlan’s character became central in Season 3 as her love story with Luke Newton’s Colin Bridgerton took the main focus. “She is a gorgeous, strong, confident, intelligent woman, seeing her do this press tour and spread so much joy and inspiration to everyone — especially women — all over the world.”
