TheBridgertonstar, 35, requested that fans refrain from commenting about her body in a heartfeltInstagram poston Sunday.
“If you have an opinion about my body please, please don’t share it with me,” Coughlan asked.
“It’s really hard to take the weight of thousands of opinions on how you look being sent directly to you every day,” she explained.

The Netflix performer concluded the post on a positive note. She explained that she chose the mirror selfie posted alongside the plea because she was “delighted with my hair in it.”
