AceShowbiz - Ava Phillippe, the daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, is starting Pride Month 2024 with a bang! On June 1, Ava shared a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirming her stance on sexuality and gender identity.
In a throwback photo of herself twirling a pride flag during her "pink hair era," Ava, 24, addressed her million followers with a reflective message. "Once upon a time, some gal on the internet said 'gender is whatever' in reference to her own sexuality. Many took her words out of context, but she knew what she meant," she wrote, referencing a comment from a 2022 "Ask Me Anything" session where she revealed she's "attracted to… people!" and expressed that "Gender is whatever."
The celebrity offspring acknowledged how her previous remarks were misunderstood but affirmed her message of personal truth and acceptance. Ava's Pride post garnered support from high-profile names like Dylan Mulvaney and Alyssa Milano, showing broad love for her candid approach.
A continuing champion of self-love, Ava also shared a candid beachside selfie on her Instagram Stories, where she cheekily wished a "Happy #PrideMonth to: the haters engaging with my content & making me a lil $," humorously dubbing them "allies."
She further extended her good wishes to "the block button" before earnestly celebrating her LGBTQ+ community with, "& of course, my LGBTQ+ community [rainbow emoji]. Now it's back to enjoying this beautiful beach…"
But Ava's online presence isn't just about Pride Month. She has been openly addressing body-shaming issues as well. On May 3, she called out critics in an Instagram Story post featuring herself and her dog Benji, stating, "Bodyshaming is toxic behavior (Asked Benji and he agrees). So maybe just... don't do that??"
Ava amplified this stand against body-shaming on TikTok, where she highlighted contradictory comments about her weight. "The first said I should get on Oz*mpic because I'm too fat. The second accused me of starving myself because I'm too thin."
She noted the absurdity of the situation with the assertive declaration that "it wouldn't be any of their business if it did!" Her mother, actress Reese Witherspoon, supported her daughter by commenting, "Yes to all of this [kissing emoji]."
Through her outspoken social media presence, Ava Phillippe is not just celebrating identity but advocating for respect and kindness in digital spaces, resonating deeply with her young followers.
