In a Nov. 11 Instagram post, Nicola—who has been married to Brooklyn Peltz Beckham since 2022—shared photos of herselfposing in a mirrorwearing blue scrubsafter an oxygenating cosmetic procedure, with the 31-year-old lifting up her shirt to reveal her flat stomach.
She captioned the post, “hyperbaric chic post facial.”
After a handful of commenters made critical remarks about the Last Airbender star’s looks, one came to her defense to shut down the haters.
“Stop body shaming her and other ppl,” the user wrote. “Are you all perfect?”
The comment didn’t go unnoticed by Nicola, who replied to the fan, “thank you. some people are actually so mean.”

The heartfelt exchange continued as the commenter wrote back, “your [sic] welcome sweetheart. I’m so sick of ppl and there [sic] opinions of others. I’m overweight and I struggle with it do to my health. You are beautiful. I adore you and Brooklyn.”
The Transformers: Age of Extinction star once again thanked the user for their “kind” words.
“I read them and it means a lot to me,” she added. “You’re so beautiful, you’re perfect.”
This isn’t the first time Nicolaand Brooklyn havefaced body shamershead-on.
Overthe summer, an online user made a negative remark about her body in the comments section of one of herhusband’sInstagram posts.

And David Beckhamand Victoria Beckham’s eldest son didn’t hesitate to defend his wife.
“Do you comment on everyone who is concerned about your wife and how sickly she looks?” the since-deleted comment, per Us Weekly, read under Brooklyn’s Aug. 25 Instagram post, which featured him baking a cottage pie. “She puts herself out there; feed her.”
In response, Brooklyn clapped back at the user, writing, “Don’t ever talk about my wife. She’s absolutely beautiful, and you should never comment on a woman’s body.”
The 27-year-old added, “It’s disgraceful.”
As for Nicola, she’s previously admitted that it’s difficult not to let the unkind words get to her.
“I’m very sensitive, and I need to work on not reading everything: online news, social media comments,” she told Elle España in a March interview translated from Spanish. “I try not to pay attention to what people say, but it affects me. I need to learn to distance myself.”

She continued, “The first said I should get on Oz*mpic 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!)”
Ava said that “no one deserves to be picked apart for what they look like.” She added, “You don’t always know what someone’s gone through or what they struggle with. But no matter who you are… Your beauty exceeds such superficial measures.”
In a separate post, the 33-year-old added, “Human beings go through weight fluctuations,” she continued, “it’s life and you don’t know what people are going through. Meds, disease, etc…”
“Coming for me in my comments and telling me how I’m too skinny or I need to eat is absolutely not helpful and extremely body shaming,” she continued.”Body shaming of any kind is something I will not stand for.”
More than a week later, she shared a photo of herself sunbathing in a bikini, writing, “For the haters….with love and gratitude kindly [kiss emoji] my [peach emoji], I’ll keep smiling regardless [peace sign emoji].”
Indeed, while performing at Manchester Pride 2025, she graced the stage wearing an oversized T-shirt with a woman’s silhouette—dressed in a cropped tank top and black pushup bra underneath—printed on the front.
“If you don’t want to be criticized, you are in the wrong place. I take what’s good for me. I leave behind what is not good for me,” she explained. “I let my management take care of that, and if it hurts anyone, they will take care of that. And I need to focus on what’s right for me, how I feel and, last but not least, you can’t please everybody.”
Halle then clapped back with a cheeky response, “Did you guys know the heart of a shrimp is located in its head?”
“I haven’t gone on social media AT ALL with the conscious intention of avoiding things that hurt my feelings,” she began her lengthy post. “My eyes accidentally ran over a head line of people ‘body shaming me.’ Honestly, first thing I felt was super insecure over just IMAGINING what these pictures must look like, oh no! My cellulite! Oh no! I didn’t suck in my stomach! But then I was like…of course there are bad pictures, of course there are bad angles, my body’s not made of f–king rock, or all muscles, for that matter. But the saddest part of young girls growing up in an airbrushed world is they’re seeking a perfection that’s not real.”
“I’m writing this for girls like my little sister who are growing up on social media. They’re constantly seeing photoshopped, edited pictures and thinking that’s reality and everyone’s eyes get used to seeing airbrushed skin, and suddenly they think THAT’S norm. It isn’t. It’s fake. AND FAKE IS BECOMING THE NEW REAL. We have a completely unrealistic view of a woman’s body. Girls, cellulite is normal. fat is normal. It’s beautiful and natural. I won’t buy into the bulls–t today!!!! Not today satan and I hope you don’t either.”
She also called out the fashion industry after she claimed several designers refused to dress her for the Grammys because of her size. “Empower women to love their bodies instead of making girls and women feel less then [sic] by their size,” she shared on Instagram in January 2019. “We are beautiful any size! Small or large! Anddddd My size 8 ass is still going to the Grammys. #LOVEYOURBODY.”
“Absolutely not LOL,” she replied at the time. “My 30 lb son is just breaking my back in every photo.”
Another commenter then wrote, “If that kid is 30lbs he’s got some serious health issues going on.” The cookbook author shut the shamer down, saying, “Excuse you? No. Just no.”
“A few things because honestly I’m so frustrated and I need to vent this,” she wrote in December 2018. “I wanted to post this photo (showing my stomach) because I wanted to show my journey back to healthy and my goodness I’m so glad I didn’t which is why this photo is now cropped. It’s amazing the comments and how rude some people can be from my last photo I took yesterday. A few things, no I didn’t get a tummy tuck, no I don’t have a personal chef, no I don’t have fortunes so I didn’t train everyday. Yes I had a c section, yes I am still in pain and on meds but I do have a high pain tolerance. I have had 3 stomach surgeries before this (appendix, gallbladder, and c section).. In that photo I had a belly bandit wrapped tightly, and high waisted pants and wow here I am defending myself. Why?!? If I would have posted the photo of my actual stomach in this photo I would have probably been shamed too even when I was wanting to be vulnerable with my journey. Why do we women have to compare ourselves to each other and then shame? I say this to myself as much as I say this to y’all…why can’t it be that we are all different. Our bodies are all beautiful and crafted differently, they heal different, they react different, they simply look different. Why do we need to shame someone for not looking a certain way? Or feel bad about ourselves for looking a certain way? Can we be kinder to ourselves and know that every women has a different journey but yet we are all beautiful? Can we lift women up but not tear yourself down in the process with comparing? Let’s give that a try…..I love y’all. Back to my baby.”
However, the actress was quick to shut down the hater. “If a 25 inch waist looks big to you…then you’re looking through an altered lens. Be well,” she replied.
