Florence Pugh Opens Up About Wanting To 'Protect' Zach Braff From Online Abuse
HuffPost
The "Black Widow" actor had a lot to say about the scrutiny she and Braff, who is 21 years her senior, have endured over the course of their past relationship.
Florence Pugh is reflecting on her past relationship with Zach Braff with the benefit of hindsight.
In a new interview with British Vogue, the “Black Widow” actor touched on the scrutiny she and Braff, who is 21 years her senior, endured over the course of their three-year romance because of their age gap.
“I had to be public in the past because people were bullying me and bullying my partner,” Pugh said. “Mine and Zach’s relationship was actually quite private until it was nasty, and I could see the toll that it was taking on him and us and our families. And that’s when I spoke out.”
She went on to note: “I think for anyone I’m with, I want to protect them. It’s not nice knowing that people are saying the worst things I’ve ever read about someone that I love. So that was necessary. I needed to talk about it. I think any relationship in this limelight is going to be stressed.”
Pugh didn’t list specific instances in the new profile, but she has pushed back on online negativity before. In April 2020, the actor decried the “abuse” she received online after acknowledging Braff’s 45th birthday on social media.
