Hannah Waddingham criticized a photographer who allegedly asked her to “show some leg” while she posed on the red carpet Sunday.
The incident occurred at the Olivier Awards in London and was captured on video by a fan that quickly spread across social media platforms. Waddingham, who was hosting the prestigious event, expressed her dismay directly to the photographer.
Standing on the venue’s steps, she retorted, “Oh my God, you’d never say that to a man. Don’t be a d***, otherwise I’ll move off. Don’t say ‘Show me leg.’ No.” Following her statement, she shook her head and walked away, continuing to speak as she left the scene.

long story short: hannah was being her gorgeous self and the 📸 made some comment about her leg we couldn’t quite make out and… well, the video speaks for itself. This woman is a role model. Always, always call pricks out on their bullshit. https://t.co/TUPwdqEYo2 pic.twitter.com/ybhxCo5FJ6

Amazing. Do we know who this misogynist is and works for, hopefully none of outlets asking to use this video.

Damn rude photographer. I’m glad she called him out! 💪💪And I’m glad her friend Michael Ball was there to give her a hug; I’m sure she needed it in that moment. 🙌🏼
