A Hollywood star has hit back at photographers who claim an upskirt photograph taken of her was a wardrobe malfunction on her part.
American actress Natalie Morales took to Twitter to slam the paparazzi, a day after photographs were released revealing more than the star intended as she walked the red carpet.
The photo was angled up the high slit on Morales' dress, showing her underwear - which the Battle of the Sexes star says was no accident.
"When I was sent the photos, my first instinct was to ignore them and move on," she wrote on Twitter.
"But then I realised this must happen to women all the time and this time, I am not going to let it slide.
"This photographer ... angled their camera up the slit of my dress."
"Even if they wanted to claim this was an accidental shot, they could have done what they would have done had they taken an accidental shot of their daughter's mother's, or sister's vagina: deleted it.
"This is not, at its root, a celebrity problem. This is a problem with how we tear down women and reduce them to a sum of body parts, to be at once both sexualised and shamed."
Her rant has drawn mixed reaction - most on side with her - but some claiming she must have been asking for it.
"It looks like you intentionally held the slit open. Not the [photographer's] fault for snapping that in the slightest," one man said on Twitter.
"This is not a "women's rights" issue! It's your mistake, you pose too erotic for official red carpet event," man said.
However the support for Morales was overwhelming.
