Reese Witherspoon’s double daughter, Ava Phillippe, has threatened to block ‘prejudiced’ commentators after she opened up about her sex life in a post on social media.
On Monday, 22-year-old Phillippe answered questions asked by some of her nearly 1 million followers on Instagram.
One asked Phillippe whether she “likes boys or girls”.
Ava was not confused.
She posted a picture of herself smiling, wearing a striped blouse and gold choker, with the caption simply: “‘I’m attracted to … people!”
Below the caption, she had written in parentheses: “Gender is anything.”
But it seemed to draw fire from some people, with Phillippe posting another message 48 hours later that scolded: “QUICK REMINDER: I can and will block profiles that comment on bigotte / hateful messages during my posts.”
None of the offensive messages were shared by Phillippe, who is the eldest child of Witherspoon and her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.
Witherspoon met Ryan Phillippe for her 21st birthday party in 1997, and the couple got engaged 18 months later.
They also have a son together, Deacon, who is 18.
The couple separated in 2006.
Witherspoon is remarried to Jim Toth, and the couple have a son, Tennessee, together.
