Eliza Coupe claims the viral images from 'The Residence' premiere had been 'wildly altered'
Taking to her Instagram, Eliza Coupe posted a clip containing images from the last three weeks, and added in the caption, "Pictures from my camera roll from the past three weeks," completed with a plethora of hashtags, including, "#thisishwhatireallylooklike #truth #haterscanhate #ichooselove #rememberwhoyouare #transmute #elevate #rise #and #shine #love."
In another Instagram post, which included a video of her pointing a gun at the camera, she wrote, "My response to all the bad press and wildly altered photos of me floating around the internet. You are all so consistently ridiculous. Thank you for making me laugh. Xoxo."
For the red carpet appearance at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on March 19, the ‘Benched’ actress opted for a gold sequined dress paired with black suede boots and draped a fur coat around her arms. She completed her look with smoky eyes and let her bangs fall over her eyebrows.
Apart from Coupe, the cast of the Paul William Davies-directed mystery drama centering around the lives of White House staff includes the likes of Uzo Aduba, Barrett Foa, Edwina Findley, Juliette Jeffers, Al Mitchell, Bret Tucker, Jodi Bianca Wise, Paul Fitzgerald, Sumalee Montano, JD Hall, Julieth Restrepo, and James Babson.
This isn't the first time Coupe has made headlines for clapping back at critics who threw shade at her looks.
She opened up about having body image issues in an interview in 2017.
"I’m an actress with food issues and body image issues—that's real. But I'm trying to heal that part of myself and also handle my physical issues naturally by putting the best things into my body," Coupe shared, as reported by Bon Appetit.
She continued, "I'm in such a high-stress job where women have to wear tight dresses all the time, and if I eat something that messes me up, I'll be so cripplingly uncomfortable that I can't go 12 more hours of shooting without freaking out."
"Worrying about it makes it worse, because I am an incredibly anxious person," revealed the actress, before recalling, "When I was 23, I cut all sugar out of my diet, quit drinking, and found yoga and breathing and stretching. That’s the best Ritalin you could give anyone."
