'The Residence' Actress Eliza Coupe Slams 'Haters' Who Criticized Her Appearance Following Rare Red Carpet Outing
On Wednesday, March 19, the actress, 43, stepped out for a rare public outing for the premiere of her new show, The Residence. Following the Los Angeles event, the Scrubs alum sparked concern over her physical appearance, which many deemed "unrecognizable." She wore a skin-baring chainmail dress revealing her tattoos, a shawl around her arms and thigh-high boots.
Shortly after, Coupe took to Instagram to address the criticism. In a post shared last week, she featured multiple selfies taken over the "past three weeks" and captioned them with empowering hashtags, including "This is what I really look like," "I choose love" and "Haters can hate." She also added, "Remember who you are."
Her comments section was filled with positivity. "Gorgeous inside and out! Talent, beauty, and you're freaking hilarious! Keep doing you boo," one fan wrote.

On Feb. 21, she announced that she's releasing a self-help book titled Coyote Woman and the Odyssey of Soul Contracts.

"Here's the thing... I've been an actor my entire life. Professionally for 20 years," she wrote. "That has been my identity for so long. And what I have learned in my journey through this human experience...is that there is no such thing as 'identity.' Who I am is not one thing. Being an actor is one thing I do and I enjoy it and I'm good at it. I am also many many other things. I wrote a book because I am also a writer." The project will focus on growth, personal development and inner healing.
Prolonging the book's release, Coupe thanked her fans for their "patience as I navigate this new magical journey."

Jack White, White House trade jabs over Trump's Oval Office decor
Less than a year into Donald Trump's presidency, he's overhauling not just some of the nation's laws, but the house from which he signs them − and musician Jack White has some thoughts. Amid Trump's White House makeover, which thus far has included a paving over of the famous Rose Garden and bedecking some of its historic rooms in gold, White blasted the changes as "vulgar" and "gaudy." In an Aug. 19 Instagram post, the lead singer of the White Stripes critiqued an image of Trump, 79, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sitting in the newly gold-drenched Oval Office. "Look at how disgusting Trump has transformed the historic White House. It's now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room," White, 50, wrote. "Can't wait for the UFC match on the front lawn too, he's almost fully achieved the movie 'Idiocracy.'" Jack White threatens to sue over Trump campaign staffer's use of White Stripes song "Look at his disgusting taste, would you even buy a used car from this conman, let alone give him the nuclear codes?" he continued. "A gold plated trump bible would look perfect up on that mantle with a pair of trump shoes on either side wouldn't it?" White is seemingly referring to several money-making ventures from the president, who has long demonstrated a propensity for selling merchandise with his name on it. "What an embarrassment to American history," White concluded, before lauding Zelenskyy as "a REAL leader" in "a black suit." Notably, when Zelenskyy visited the White House earlier in Trump's presidency, he was critiqued by Trump-friendly reporters and the president himself for wearing army fatigues rather than a suit. White, now a solo artist, once owned a furniture business, while Trump, a real estate magnate, has long been known to favor a flashy, Rococo aesthetic. The pair's divergence on matters of style may come as no surprise, as the singer's sartorial choices have traditionally leaned into a more cool-toned emo look. When reached for comment, White House communications director Steven Cheung called White "washed up" and defended the Oval Office's new ornate look. "Jack White is a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career," Cheung wrote. "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People's House.'" The Oval Office, and the White House itself, shapeshift with each incoming administration, as staff work to transform the historical home to match the preferred aesthetic of the new first family. That Trump's choices tilt toward a brash, Waldorf-Astoria style baroqueness slots neatly into a lifetime of building designs that reflect Gilded Age sensibilities.
