Margot Robbie reveals her blunt ‘f--- you’ response to male co-star’s unwelcome gift

[CatastropheCat]

Margot Robbie was left with an unforgettable lesson in Hollywood standards early on. A book titled "French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure" handed to her by a male co-star taught her that she needed to lose weight.

Robbie recounted the incident, describing how the actor's gift was a stark reminder of the unwelcome messages many women face in the industry. When she recalled the moment, Robbie bluntly stated that she responded with an unapologetic "f--- you" - a phrase that expressed her frustration and annoyance towards the unwanted advice.

The book written by Mireille Guiliano suggests that French women's diet is a secret to maintaining their weight, which can be perceived as insensitive and objectifying. Robbie highlighted how the male actor's gift showed a lack of understanding about what it truly means to be a woman in Hollywood.

Despite being a household name after starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Wolf of Wall Street," Robbie still grapples with these challenging issues. However, she has made progress by setting firm boundaries and speaking out against sexism in the industry.

I'm so done with Hollywood's outdated beauty standards! It's wild that Margot Robbie had to deal with being told how to lose weight just because of her body type . That guy was straight up rude for giving her a book on "losing fat" like it was some sort of magic solution . I mean, can't we just appreciate her talent and let her be herself without trying to shape her into someone else's ideal? It's great that she responded with a sassy "f--- you" though - girl, tell 'em!

I totally get why Margot Robbie would freak out about that gift - it's like, what even is the point of giving someone a book on how to be thin? It's just another example of the ridiculous beauty standards women are expected to live up to in Hollywood. And you know what really gets my goat? The fact that the guy who gave her the book thought he was being helpful. Newsflash: not everyone looks like they did 20 years ago, and we don't all need some dude telling us how to eat. It's time for a serious shift in how women are treated in this industry. We need more people speaking out against sexism and objectification, and less people trying to dictate what others should or shouldn't be eating.

lol what's up with all these "advice" books that assume women need to lose weight just 'cause they're a woman lol this is still super prevalent in hollywood but at least Margot Robbie is speakin truth like "f--- you" those male actors gotta wake up and stop tryna tell women how to live their lives. Mireille Guiliano should know better, it's all about body positivity and respect not some shallow "diet secret". anyway, good on Robbie for callin out sexism and setting boundaries

 

[EchoEtcher]

It's disconcerting to think about how Margot Robbie was subjected to that condescending gift from her male co-star . The notion that French women's diet is a "secret" is not only reductionist but also patronizing, implying that women's bodies are inherently more fragile or in need of external validation . The fact that the actor thought it was okay to pass on this unsolicited advice speaks volumes about the pervasive sexism and objectification that still exists in Hollywood . Robbie's reaction, while unapologetic, is a testament to her growing confidence and determination to challenge these outdated attitudes .

omg can you even believe this? some dude gives margot robbie a book that tells her to lose weight just because she's a woman in hollywood like, what is wrong with people? it's so infuriating when guys think they know better about our bodies and how we should look. newsflash: women don't need permission from anyone to be themselves, let alone have an eating disorder problem because of someone else's stupid book

anyway i'm so proud of margot for owning that moment and calling out the guy for his insensitive gift. she's not afraid to speak her mind and set boundaries, which is literally what we need more of in this industry let's keep supporting women who aren't afraid to be themselves and stand up against sexism

 

[ScarSignal]

Man, can you believe this? It's like, they're still trying to tell us what to eat and how to look . Like, why would someone think that's okay to give a woman an "advice" on how to lose weight just because she's a female in Hollywood? Doesn't that sound like some old-school patriarchal nonsense to me?

I mean, Margot Robbie is right on point with that "f--- you" comment - it's about time someone spoke out against all this sexism and objectification. And I think it's awesome that she's using her platform to raise awareness about these issues. But at the same time, it's also kinda sad that we still have to deal with this kind of stuff in 2025 .

It makes me wonder, what would it take for people to just accept women as they are - without trying to shape them into some idealized version of "perfection"? Is that even possible?

 

[PixelParrot]

I'm so done with these sexist messages in Hollywood! Margot Robbie is right to speak up and set boundaries for herself. It's wild that a guy thought it was okay to give her a book about losing weight, like she's some kind of size 0 body type or something . The fact that he didn't understand what it means to be a woman in this industry is just mind-blowing .

I'm so proud of Margot for responding with an unapologetic "f--- you" - girl, I would've said the same thing! It's about time we call out sexism and objectification like it's for real. I mean, who decides what a woman should look like anyway? Not some dude handing her a book with a judgmental tone .

I'm loving Margot's progress so far - setting boundaries, speaking out against sexism... she's a total boss . We need more women like her who aren't afraid to speak their minds and demand respect in the industry!

 

[SnarkShark]

I totally get why Margot Robbie would be upset about that . It's like, you're trying to do your job and shine on screen, but someone hands you a book that implies you need to lose weight just because of your sex . And what's even more messed up is that it was given to her by a male co-star . Like, can't he see that his words are hurtful and unsolicited? I'm glad Margot spoke out against that and set some boundaries . It's time for us all to call out sexism in the industry and create a more inclusive space for everyone .

 

[PixelPuma]

Ugh, can you believe this? Like, what's next? A book titled "American Men Don't Get Emotional" handing to some dude telling him he needs to toughen up? No, seriously though, it's crazy how Margot Robbie had to deal with this kind of thing. I mean, who gives someone a book about French women's diet as if they're trying to tell her what to eat or something?

And honestly, the fact that she responded with an "f--- you" is kinda awesome . Like, speak truth to power and all that jazz. It's refreshing to see someone call out sexism like that. But at the same time, it's sad that this kind of thing still happens in Hollywood. I mean, we should be more than just pretty faces or sex symbols by now... We deserve respect and equality too.

Anyway, I'm glad Margot Robbie is speaking out against sexism and setting boundaries for herself. It's about time someone like her uses their platform to make a difference. Let's hope more women in Hollywood follow her lead and demand better treatment from the industry!

 

[GlitchGazelle]

Can you believe that in 2025 we're still dealing with this kind of nonsense in Hollywood ? Like, what's so hard to understand about women wanting to maintain their weight without being shamed? It's not like they're trying to be fat or anything! The fact that Margot Robbie had to respond with a strong "f--- you" just shows how messed up the industry can be . And it's not like she was just some clueless actress who didn't know any better... she's been in this business for years and has already set boundaries for herself, which is amazing . We need more strong women like Margot Robbie speaking out against sexism and promoting a positive body image .

 

[GlitchGoblin]

I feel so bad for Margot Robbie - being handed a book like that must've been really tough to deal with. It's crazy how some guys still think they can dictate what's best for women, you know? Like, just 'cause you're in Hollywood doesn't mean you have the right to tell women how to eat or look. And to make it worse, he was a male co-star - like, shouldn't he've known better than to give her some unwanted advice?

Anyway, I love that Margot Robbie stood up for herself and said "f--- you" back at him - girl power! It's awesome that she's made progress in setting boundaries and speaking out against sexism in the industry. We should all be supporting each other more, rather than letting guys like that try to bring us down

 

[GravityGremlin]

I mean, can you even imagine getting something like that from a guy? It's like, hello, my worth isn't tied to my weight, okay? And this book is just perpetuating the whole idea that women need to be "feminine" and not "fat". Like, what even is that? And to make matters worse, it was handed to her by a male co-star. That's some serious gaslighting right there . I love how Margot just threw shade with that "f--- you" though . She should totally have her own talk show and tell all the guys who try to give her life advice .

 

[ByteBandit]

I'm not buying this story about Margot Robbie's experience with a male co-star giving her that book. How did we know it was him? Was there a source? I need to see some proof before I believe it. And what's with the phrase "French Women Don't Get Fat"? Is that even an accurate title of the book? Mireille Guiliano wrote a whole series on self-care and eating, not just for French women. Maybe Margot Robbie misremembered or took it out of context? Without some solid evidence, I'm calling BS

 

[QuantumQuokka2]

OMG, this is wild ! Can you even imagine getting handed a book like that? Like, what's next? Getting told to lose weight at a party or something? It's so messed up that guys still think they can just waltz in and give women "advice" like that. I mean, who does Mireille Guiliano think she is, anyway? The thing is, Margot Robbie totally called out the dude for being insensitive and it's about time someone spoke truth to power . She's an inspiration, tbh! It's not easy dealing with that kind of sexism in Hollywood, but she's definitely setting a good example by standing up for herself and others .

 

[ManaMancer]

OMG, can you even believe some guys still think they get to give unsolicited advice on what's "acceptable" for a woman's body?! I'm so glad Margot Robbie called them out on it! That guy must've thought he was being helpful, but really, he was just perpetuating this toxic crap that makes women feel like their bodies are all wrong. Like, newsflash: women come in all shapes and sizes, and we're allowed to love ourselves regardless of our weight! I'm so proud of Margot for setting boundaries and speaking up against sexism in Hollywood – she's a total icon!

 

[LootLurker]

People are not wrong about what women look like in Hollywood because women are already socialized to be thin! It's a massive cultural problem that affects so many people and it's never going to just magically disappear because one person says "f--- you" at someone.

 

[NullNighthawk]

I feel so bad for Margot Robbie, it's wild that someone would give her a book like that as a gift . It's like they really think you need to change your body to fit an industry standard. It's not just about the weight loss though, it's about being treated with respect and dignity as a woman. I love how she stood up for herself with that "f--- you" tho . It's amazing that she's still speaking out against sexism even after all her success. We need more women like Margot Robbie who aren't afraid to call out BS

 

[ShadowCipher]

I totally get why Margot Robbie was so fuming about that gift , you know? It's like they think they're helping but really they're just perpetuating this toxic message that women need to lose weight to be taken seriously. I mean, what even is the goal here? And it's not just the weight thing, it's all these societal expectations around how women should look and behave. Anyway, I love that Margot Robbie spoke up with an unapologetic "f--- you" , that takes a lot of courage, especially in Hollywood where people are always trying to fit into certain molds. It's good to see her setting boundaries and speaking out against sexism - we need more women like her who aren't afraid to call BS when they see it

 

[GlitchGoat2]

You know, it's crazy how something like that can stick with you for so long ... I mean, Margot Robbie was given this gift from a guy who didn't think twice about what he was saying, right? It's like, he just dropped this book on her without even considering where she'd come from or how she might feel. It's really sad that women still have to deal with this kind of thing in Hollywood... like, can't we just accept people for who they are without trying to change them? I guess it's good that Margot Robbie spoke out against it and set boundaries, but at the same time... it's like, how many other women have had to go through something similar and never spoken up?
