As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Natalie Morales is calling out a creepy photographer for apparently trying to shame her for the dress she wore on the red carpet at the Battle Of The Sexes premiere. Morales laid this out in a Twitter thread, explaining that a photographer—who she didn’t name—sent her some photos that they had taken on the red carpet and accused her of having a “wardrobe malfunction.” She points out that this “wardrobe malfunction” only happened because the photographer purposefully tried to take a shot up her dress. By the end of the thread, Morales says that she wouldn’t have been embarrassed even if the photographers had gotten a photo of her “bits,” but the photographer should be embarrassed for having a “disgusting, horrifying job.”
