Phillippe, 24, whom Witherspoon shares with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, tackled haters head on in a pointed TikTok video. She condemned users for commenting on her weight.
The video begins with Phillippe in the bathroom, standing in front of a mirror as No Doubt's "Just a Girl" plays. "NBD but I just achieved a major milestone as a woman online," inserted text read on the screen. "I saw 2 different strangers commenting on my body."

"The first said I should get on Ozempic because I'm too fat… The second accused me of starving myself because I'm too thin… My weight did not change in the time period between their comments (& it wouldn't be any of their business if it did!)" the text continued, as Phillippe applies red lipstick.
"It's such bulls---" the text reads, when Phillippe rolls her eyes and drags lipstick across her face. She then exits the camera frame.

"Pretty is as pretty does, babes... & bodyshaming is simply toxic behavior," she captioned the post, adding an emoji and the hashtag #loveyouasyouare.
