“People seem unable to distinguish between reality and fiction,” she said. They assault me personally after seeing an LGBT incident, targeting my face, body, and gender identity. I never anticipated this degree of animosity for simply carrying out my duties.
One harmful element of celebrity culture has long been the internet’s fixation with appearances. Ramsey’s experience, however, draws attention to a darker aspect: the confluence of body shaming, homophobia, and misogyny. Many of the more offensive remarks have focused on her unusual appearance, making fun of her face, her sense of style, and even charging her with being “unfit” for romantic settings.
“Why cast someone like her for a hot lesbian scene?” was one of the comments that went viral. She isn’t even pretty.
Someone else wrote: “She’s destroying the fantasy.” Don’t give us this; give us someone lovely.
Both fans and other actors are deeply concerned about the backlash. Ramsey has been defended by a number of well-known LGBTQ+ individuals and Hollywood insiders, who have praised her courage and emotional transparency.
