Florence Pugh defended her boyfriend Zack Braff from abuse about their age difference.
She said, ” I do not need to tell me who I should and should not love and I would never in my life ever, tell anyone who they can and cannot love. It is not your place and really, it had nothing to do with you.” The little women’s star’s relationship with Zack Braff is not up for debate.
In a video posted to Instagram, the actress describes the comments as ‘horrid’ about the scrub’s actor and their 21-year age difference. Within eight minutes of posting a picture of the actor on his birthday this week, Pugh says 70% of comments were hurling abuse and being horrid.
The British actress explains that she was forced to turn off the comments on her account. She also said, ”I will not allow that behavior on my page. I’m not about that. It makes me upset. We should be loving one another. I am 24 years old, and I’ve been working since I was 17 years old.”
Florence and Zach have been romantically linked for about a year. The couple has been fairly private about their relationship except, for the occasional date night or Instagram display of public affection. In her video post, the actors addresses critics, telling them to unfollow her if they’re not willing to respect her, and Zack’s privacy.
She quoted, “the abuse that you throw at him, is the abuse you’re throwing at me, and I don’t want those followers.” Florence’s celebrity followers applauded her stance with Ariana Grande commenting,” Oh I love and appreciate you so much.”
Stefania Ferrario comments,” My partner is 22-year senior, and we’ve been together almost seven years. Love is a diverse beautiful thing and I hope, more people open their minds up a little more.”
