Writing in her column for The Sun, Ulrika slammed the misogyny of the situation, after the actress was faced with a barrage of comments calling her ‘flat-chested’ and mocking her ‘tiny t*ts’.

‘Strange, really, when you think these men presumably have two of their own adorning their cowardly, pathetic chests.

‘And to think this is 2022. Quite what the issue with breasts is I’ll never know. We all have them. And Florence looked the epitome of beauty, class and purity, showing and owning what is biologically and physiologically hers,’ wrote Ulrika.

‘Cowardly’: Writing in her column for The Sun, Ulrika slammed the misogyny of the situation, after the actress was faced with a barrage of comments calling her ‘flat-chested’ and mocking her ‘tiny t*ts’

She continued that ‘breasts are not singularly objects of sexual gratification’, before explaining how close to her heart the #freethenipple campaign is.

She also took the opportunity to call out social media platform Instagram, asking why ‘This platform can’t weed out racism but it can shut down a picture of a nipple. The inequality is there for all to see.’

It comes after Florence, herself, defended her dress – hitting out at those who chose to ‘publicly destroy a woman’s body’.

She wrote in an impassioned post on Instagram: ‘What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. 

Fashion: Florence also posted to her fans fans she knew the dress would provoke a reaction, but she was ‘excited’ to wear the gown (pictured with Anna Wintour)

‘So many of you wanted to aggressively let me know how disappointed you were by my ‘tiny t**s’, or how I should be embarrassed by being so ‘flat chested’

‘What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. You even do it with your job titles and work emails in your bio? said Florence further in her statement’.

And alongside Ulrika, a host of other stars have leaped to her defence too – including Regé-Jean Page and Jessica Chastain.

Further in Ulrika’s column, she opened up about her own breast journey, admitting her 2009 reduction was a long time coming, as she ‘detested them’.

Describing that ‘It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made’, she explained that her goal was to get ‘a pair of Kate Mosses’.

Previously sharing that her breasts increased in size while she was pregnant, Ulrika admitted to going up to a 34L. 

She then underwent a two-fold surgery, which included a Reduction Mammoplasty’ (from a 32E to C) and a Mastopexy (breast lift).

Admitting that she wanted ‘tiny’ breasts initially, the TV personality continued: ‘I had to compromise with a slightly bigger pair to suit my frame, but that surgery changed my life and improved my relationship with my body.’
