'The Residence' Actress Eliza Coupe Slams 'Haters' Who Criticized Her Appearance Following Rare Red Carpet Outing
Eliza Coupe is clearing speculations around her latest red carpet appearance.
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.

"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 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."
