Speaking during an interview she had with Emily Tisch Sussman on an episode of he “She Pivots” podcast, the actress narrated how she found the internet body shaming extremely rude especially since she was celebrating one of the happiest moments of her life.
I literally just had a run-in with the public taking control over their opinion of me in a way that was disrespectful...
I was like, ‘That is so rude. I’m sorry, I don’t wear Spanx every day, and, like, am a real woman and have a real body,’” 35-year-old Vanessa said while speaking with the podcast host host Emily Tisch.
She went on to narrate how the comments from netizens claiming she was pregnant due to her bulging belly due to a video she shared from her girls’ weekend in Aspen, Colorado after her engagement with her now husband Cole Tucker somehow got to her.

"Don't make assumptions, in all aspects of life, but especially over other women's bodies.
We deal with so much with other people trying to control our bodies, let’s not make assumptions over other women’s bodies as well," the Sucker Punch star stated adding that social media users need to be "more mindful" about making assumptions about people's personal life.
