Reese Witherspoon and her daughter Ava Phillippe not only share a striking resemblance but also possess a similar resilience when it comes to standing up for their beliefs.
Ava Phillippe, aged 24 and daughter of Witherspoon and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, recently addressed online haters directly in a poignant TikTok video. She bravely confronted individuals who had made derogatory comments about her body.
The video kicks off with Phillippe standing before a mirror in a bathroom while No Doubt’s “Just a Girl” sets the tone. Text overlaid on the screen reads, “NBD but I just achieved a major milestone as a woman online.” It goes on to detail how she encountered two strangers commenting on her body, one suggesting she should take Ozempic for being “too fat” and the other accusing her of “starving herself” for being “too thin.” Phillippe’s weight had not changed during this time, and she emphasizes that it’s no one’s business regardless.
As she applies red lipstick, the text on the screen expresses her frustration with such criticism. With an eye roll and a swipe of lipstick across her face, Phillippe exits the frame.
A subsequent message underscores the importance of not judging others based on appearance, highlighting that everyone has their own struggles. She ends with a powerful statement: “Pretty is as pretty does, babes… & bodyshaming is simply toxic behavior.” Phillippe concludes the post with the caption “#loveyouasyouare,” emphasizing that body positivity is essential for all.
In another video posted the same day, Phillippe addresses criticism regarding her tattoos. With a carefree shrug and the use of a popular TikTok sound promoting self-confidence, she sends a clear message: she’s unapologetically herself, tattoos and all.
In the caption, she confidently asserts her stance with “#wronggirl #sorrynotsorry,” indicating that she won’t let the opinions of strangers dictate her choices or undermine her self-expression.
In both instances, Phillippe demonstrates a fearless determination to combat negativity and promote self-acceptance—an inspiring message for all.
