Outrage as pregnant Margot Robbie is trolled for her body in ‘ridiculous’ and ‘harmful’ criticism

A popular influencer has hit out at ‘misogynistic’ online trolls for criticizing Margot Robbie’s appearance during her pregnancy.

Body-positive social media star Alex Light shared a video on Instagram drawing attention to the “harmful” comments directed at Margot, who is expecting her first child with her husband Tom Ackerley.

She read out a series of ‘ridiculous’ comments on social media, mainly left by male users, targeting Margot’s pregnant body, who cruelly judged her appearance.

Alex passionately hit back at criticism of the Hollywood star as she blasted ‘impossible and unachievable societal expectations’ in a confident message.

She rages about how “ridiculous” it is that Margot, 34, who she says is considered “the most beautiful woman in the world”, is still the target of vile trolls.

“I think we should let this serve as a reminder that no matter who we are or what we look like, our bodies and the way we look will always be scrutinized,” she said.

“So let us allow ourselves to live and be free from the burden of these impossible and unattainable societal expectations that literally affect us all.

‘Just to be clear, Margot Robbie looks great and she should be able to enjoy her holiday without people dissecting how her body is changing.’

In a caption, Alex added: “I mean HONESTLY it’s just ridiculous right now.

‘And it just goes to show that no matter WHO you are – even if you’re Margot, damn Robbie and are considered the most beautiful woman in the world – people are going to have *something* to say.

“Fundamentally, there’s no way to win, so we might as well free ourselves from the harmful standards and simply focus our attention beyond our appearance.”

Many of her 569,000 followers were quick to share in her outrage as they took to the comments section to condemn the “misogynistic” comments and “double standards.”

‘Men hate us because we don’t want children, and hate us for carrying a child. Make sure it makes sense,” one person raged.

Another wrote: ‘But it’s acceptable to have a dad body if you’re not building a life,’ while a third said: ”I would never let my girl get that big when she gets pregnant” is a extremely worrying statement.’

A fourth wrote: ‘What a factory of red flags those people are,’ and a fifth commented: ‘She’s growing a human, how is she going to do that without her body changing?’

Another added: ‘Note that all the comments are from men saying Margot – a visibly very slim woman even when pregnant – is too big.
