Susan Sarandon's daughter claps back at wedding dress critics
Susan Sarandon's daughter has spoken out against body-shaming trolls who were criticising her wedding dress.
Eva Amurri, who like her mum is also an actress, became the subject of online criticism after she shared photos from her wedding day online.
Writing on her blog Happily Eva After the 39-year-old admitted that the comments left her in tears, "in a way that brought me right back to Middle School".
"Here were people I didn't even know and who didn't know me, spending time and energy typing something that they hoped would bring me one thing and one thing only: Shame," she recalled the moment she came across the "hundreds of cruel comments".
"It wasn't what they were saying per se, I've had much more horrible things directed at me on the internet, but it was the yucky feeling of knowing that there are people out there (and lots of them!) whose immediate reaction upon witnessing my little family's joy was to try to hurt us."
She continued to explain that she was shocked that her wedding photos had gone viral due to something beyond her control.
"I was so taken aback by the fact that it was already viral... and for two reasons completely out of my control: My Breasts," she wrote.
"I've always been naturally very large-chested, and my breast size fluctuates with my weight (as real breasts often do)," she wrote, adding that she is a mother of three and she had breastfed all of her children.
"Are my breasts the same perkiness they were at 20 years old before they sustained human life three times over? Definitely not. Do I care? Some days more than others. But my body isn't something I'm ashamed of."
She then said that she chose the dress because she wanted to feel "sexy and elegant" on her special day.
"I had purposefully gone into my wedding dress shopping wanting to show my figure and really celebrate myself as a woman - body parts included," she shared.
"It had never occurred to me that people I don't even know would find my body so offensive, and especially that they would care so much about what I would choose to wear on my own wedding day."
She then criticised the online trolls for their "embarrassing" behaviour and how unfortunate it was that women still experience this kind of criticism.
"You don't need anybody's permission to make the choices you make for yourself," she wrote.
"And when people feel something about those choices? Well, that's none of your business."
