If the 34-year-old actress seems fully fulfilled in her pregnancy, on social networks, negative and sexist comments have multiplied. This is in any case what underlines the French content creator @lachetonassiette, who compiled on Instagram a series of remarks written in reaction to photos of the actress in a bikini, revealing her pregnant belly.
“Imagine, you’re a woman, your body does this incredible thing which is to conceive life and all men have to say on the internet is how ‘wasted’ your body is,” the designer announces in preamble, before quoting the said comments: “She looks like she’s 47”, “It’s over guys, it’s time to move on”, “She’s ruined”…

Normalize the reality of pregnancy
Others point out that it is welcome to see a “normal” figure, when celebrities tend to convey an almost unreal image of pregnancy. “Finally a celebrity who really looks pregnant,” wrote one Internet user. Because if the taboo around the postpartum body tends to be freed, with positions taken by personalities such as Serena Williams, Blake Lively or Ashley Graham, it is not the same for the bodies of pregnant women, which are still fantasized . And always subject to the norm of thinness, especially on social networks.
