Actress Caitlin Stasey Claims Fairfax Canned Shoot With Her Because She Wouldn’t Pose In Underwear

Actress Caitlin Stasey has accused Fairfax Media’s Good Weekend magazine of dropping a piece with her because she wouldn’t pose in her underwear.

Stasey unleashed a torrent of tweets on Twitter about the incident, uploading a number of accusations and communications to the social media platform.

Good Weekend magazine suddenly doesn’t have the space to run a piece on me because I wouldn’t do a shoot in my underwear @theage @smh

Do nude photos miraculously take up less space?Is that y th issue of ‘space’ arose directly AFTER I told u I wouldnt pose nude @BenNaparstek

The editor of The Good Weekend, Ben Naparstek (pictured below), has responded, issuing a statement: “I completely understood and respected Caitlin’s decision not to pursue our shoot, which would have been a classy shoot with a leading American fashion photographer in line with the beautiful artistic imagery she’d published of herself on Herself.Com, which she’d just launched.

“We decided not to pursue the shoot when her agent offered us access to existing portraits instead. But with the Herself.Com peg no longer as strong, we decided to delay the profile until later in the year so it could be tied to the new seasons of her series Please Like Me and Reign.”

Stasey has launched a site called herself.com, empowering women to be comfortable with their body and their flaws. It garnered a monstrous amount of coverage.

Herself.com has been contacted for comment and Stasey has been tweeted. B&T had not heard back at the time of publication.

Some of Stasey’s other tweets are below – see all her tweets here.

They wanted to team an interview about my upset over the constant objectification of women with a sexualized photo shoot. I declined.@theage

— caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) July 15, 2015

And miraculously, conveniently after I said I wouldn’t do it, they claimed the magazine was downsized & there was no space to run the piece

— caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) July 15, 2015

Photo shoot & story of any length would take up th same amount of space.So y th sudden change of heart wen I refused 2 b sexualised? @theage

— caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) July 15, 2015

 

U do understand the difference between a woman appearing naked on her own terms & one being coaxed to in order to sell your product?@theage

— caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) July 15, 2015

A woman appearing nude once, for her own purposes, does not have to bend to you willing her nude for yours @theage

— caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) July 15, 2015

Staggering to me, the arrogance of those who thought a shoot like that would b appropriate & THEN Having a tantrum when I refused! @theage
