Hold onto your teacups, "Bridgerton" fans, because things just got heated in the ton! Luke Newton, everyone's favorite romantic hero (both on and off-screen, some might argue!), has taken to social media to defend his co-star Nicola Coughlan against a barrage of body-shaming comments sparked by a controversial article in Forbes magazine.

Forbes Sparks Outrage With "Mixed-Weight Couple" Label

The internet is ablaze after a recent Forbes article described Luke and Nicola (who play beloved couple Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington) as a "mixed-weight couple." The article, which aimed to dissect the show's defiance of typical romantic conventions, instead ignited a firestorm of criticism for its blatant focus on the actors' physical appearances.

Fans were quick to point out the article's insensitivity, with many taking to social media to express their outrage.

"Seriously, Forbes? In 2023? Why are we still reducing actors to their body sizes?" one fan questioned, echoing the sentiments of many.

Adding fuel to the fire, the article sparked a wave of online abuse directed at Nicola, prompting fans and fellow actors to rally around her in support.

Luke to the Rescue: "Enough is Enough!"

Luke, never one to stay silent when it matters most, took to social media to slam the article and its author, making it crystal clear that he's had enough of the body-shaming directed at his co-star.
