Ava Phillippe, the daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, is using her social media platform to spread a powerful message of body positivity. At just 24 years old, Ava has a significant following on Instagram and TikTok, and she is not afraid to challenge the toxic behavior of body shamers.
In a recent TikTok video, Ava addresses the hurtful comments she has received about her body. In the video, she stands in front of a mirror wearing an oversized Blondie t-shirt and applies red lipstick. The background song, No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” adds an empowering touch to the video.
Ava shares her experiences of being body shamed by strangers, facing criticism both for being “too fat” and for allegedly “starving” herself because she is “too thin.” She emphasizes that her weight has not changed and that it is nobody’s business even if it had.
Expressing her frustration, Ava states, “It’s such bulls**t” as she deliberately smudges the lipstick on her face. The video continues with text on the screen, sending a powerful message: “No one deserves to be picked apart for what they look like. You don’t always know what someone’s gone through or what they struggle with. But no matter who you are… Your beauty exceeds superficial measures.”
In the caption of the video, Ava shares the important message, “Pretty is as pretty does, babes… & body shaming is simply toxic behavior.” She also highlights that body shaming affects people of all genders, emphasizing that everyone deserves to feel safe and at peace in their own bodies.
Even Reese Witherspoon, Ava’s famous mother, showed her support by commenting, “Yes to all of this,” on her daughter’s video. It is heartening to see Ava and Reese taking a stand against body shaming and making it clear that such comments will not be tolerated.
Let’s remember that every body is beautiful, and it is essential to uplift and support one another rather than tear each other down with hurtful remarks about our appearances.
