Ava Phillippe Threatens To Block People On Social Media Amid Criticism Of Her Sexuality

Ava, who is best known for being Reese Witherspoon’s daughter, raised quite a debate on social media when she was asked about her sexuality during a Q&A session on Instagram.

And as part of that process, she responded by stating that she was “attracted to… people!” But given that she is in a relationship with none other than her boyfriend Owen Mahoney, there is a feeling that she might have created some backlash.

In a post on social media, Ava said: “Quick reminder: I can & will block profiles commenting bigoted/hateful messages under my posts.

“My Instagram profile is not a place for cruelty/hate speech & I intend to do what I can to keep it that way. Peace & love.”

And yet, these comments could be argued as hypocritical for the following reasons. First of all, Ava had personally requested her fans to ask her anything by virtue of her Q&A.

Therefore, just because there is something that she did not like which led to potential backlash, does not mean that she can censor people. Secondly, in any event, if she does not like what people have to say, then there is nothing stopping her from ignoring it.

But to go out and threaten people by suggesting that they will be blocked is hardly going to gravitate fans towards her. However, this is something that we have become increasingly accustomed to as a result of cancel culture.

Freedom of speech is ultimately being held at the behest of those who want to control the narrative. Although it is not clear what made Ava state that she would block people, the timing of it suggests that it must have been comments in response to her sexuality.

But if she wants people to respect her views, then she has to reciprocate that by allowing people to engage in conversation. There is clearly more to this story than meets the eye, and until we have further information, the only thing we can do is speculate.
