After shooting a photo of her wearing a revealing top on Vanity Fair, Emma Watson was lashed out by various people claiming she was being a "hypocrite" declaring herself a feminist when she showed half of her breasts.
A few of them tweeted:
If your big "feminist" talking-point is a photo of Emma Watson's tits, I would suggest you're not actually talking about feminism at all.— Caitlin Moran (@caitlinmoran) March 7, 2017
Emma Watson: "Feminism, feminism... gender wage gap... why oh why am I not taken seriously... feminism... oh, and here are my tits!" pic.twitter.com/gb7OvxzRH9— Julia Hartley-Brewer (@JuliaHB1) March 1, 2017
However, some of them also defended her by tweeting:
The problem with the Emma Watson controversy is that feminist say the media sexualizes women and then they go and do it to themselves— matthew kartick (@malttex) March 8, 2017
Being a feminist & embracing your body are not mutually exclusive things.You can still demand equality and be sexy.I got u @EmmaWatson.— Stephen Ford (@Lunsfuhd) March 7, 2017
A few days after the ruckus, Emma Watson explained her side in an interview of her upcoming movie, The Beauty and the Beast. According to her, "Feminism is giving women a choice," and not using it to bring others down. Watson claimed how she couldn't understand how "her tits have to do with it," because as she stated, feminism is having the freedom and liberation. Watch the whole interview here:
On the other hand, some of the arguments by people online not only stated how Emma opposed her role as a feminist by her photo but also how she was a hypocrite for criticizing Beyonce on 2014 for her nudity. Many of the netizens, especially Beyonce fans or also known as Beyhives, pointed out how her statements during the interview adds more to her hypocrisy because of the fact that she said otherwise to Beyonce's situation before.Emma Watson is hypocrite. Now that she is being attacked for the same thing she attacked Beyonce for 5 years ago, it is problem. Girl bye.— Ᏸecca🥀 (@MJStarLover) March 5, 2017Emma Watson decided to clear whatever misconceptions anyone had with what she had said about Beyonce by tweeting:In these pictures, she made it clear how she did not "attacked" Beyonce but instead showed how she said there is an empowerment in Beyonce's sexuality. A few people accepted her words, however some still choose to criticize her actions.This is the part of my 2014 interview with Tavi where we talked about Beyoncé. My words are in bold. pic.twitter.com/Y8vumOeyDT— Emma Watson (@EmmaWatson) March 7, 2017
