‘It Just Felt Like The Biggest F–k You’: Nicola Coughlan Requested Certain Bridgerton Season 3 Scenes As A Direct Response To Her Body Shamers

Film

Even if you’ve never watched a minute of Bridgerton, you probably know that the romantic drama is a major hit that nearly everyone with a Netflix subscription tunes in to as soon as a new season is upon us. Well, that and the fact that the show has featured some pretty legendary (and sometimes Taylor Swift-filled) sexytimes. Now, star Nicola Coughlan has revealed that she actually requested certain Bridgerton Season 3 scenes as “the biggest fuck you” to her body shamers.

What Did Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan Say About Certain Season 3 Scenes Responding To Her Body Shamers?

While enjoying Bridgerton’s sexiest scenes is all well and good, we know that anytime someone is in the public eye their appearance becomes a major point of conversation, and, frequently, that conversation is unnecessarily mean. This can be especially true when someone dares to bare all for a role, but Penelope Featherington’s portrayer, Nicola Coughlan, actually used Pen and Colin’s time as the main couple of Season 3 to respond to everyone who’s been body shaming her. As she told Stylist (via Business Insider): 

I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included. There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest ‘fuck you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering.
