Milana Vayntrub — who stars in a long-running AT&T campaign— responded to another round of online sexual harassment following recent ads that air during the NCAA Tournament.

The 34-year-old actress, who plays AT&T saleswoman "Lily Adams" in the media company's advertisements and who has acted in television shows like This Is Us and Days of Our Lives, tweeted on March 20: "Been getting a lot of 'Why are they placing her body like that in those ads?' Well, I direct the ads. I place myself like that. And it’s because of the thousands of unwelcome comments I receive about my body. You’ve lost the privilege of looking at it until I feel safe again."

This is why we cannot have nice things. Freeper fans of Miss Vayntrub should form a posse and make a visit to these creeps and teach them the value of good manners.

But Vayntrub's response activated even more sexual harassment in the Twitter thread, as users called her "sexy," "beautiful" and cute"

Come one....compliments are "harassment". If she stays single and hits her wall turns 40, I know she will long for these compliments.

I’d recommend a workout regimen and low carb.

Remember....... ATT is CNN

No beauty can out shine the ugliness

I guess I’ll manage somehow.

Wait. Who?

When you appear on TV you are judged on your appearance. Not good, but that’s how it is. Why are all infobabes and weatherbabes attractive? Even the male infoguys and weatherguys are chosen for their looks.

You’re making money off the ads, so quit complaining.

Pregnant?

[rbg81]

Uh, we don’t want to look at it. That is the point.

Well, she may have a point, but to say that the audience has lost the privilege of looking at her body is more than a little egotistical.

Just another example of neo pagan celebrity worship. People are incredibly vapid if they center their attention on this nonsense. But this lady protests too much.

All actresses exhibit themselves for the gratuitous pleasure of their viewers. At their core they have a need to be exhibitionists.

Oh please - almost all of them are complementary.

She’s a spokeswoman on an ADVERTISEMENT to promote a brand and she’s complaining that people are LOOKING AT HER because she’s cute and calling that “sexual harassment” and that they’ve (stupidly) “lost their privilege of looking at her”

Tell me darlin - why do you think AT&T gave you the job?
Because of your white privilege.

[dfwgator]

Well, she may have a point

Way up firm and high.

[setter]

I’m not a boat guy but want to do some motorboating right now.

[NWFree]

I knew I wasn’t the only one that noticed but she can make a comeback and get in shape.

[Bratch]

I like the actress but she is where she is because of the online popularity of some pictures that displayed her “assets”.

You have to take the bad with the good.

[ArtDodger]

Lily.. Cute name. Wonder what she calls the other one..:/

[babble-on]

She gets a ton of very direct personal threats from troll accounts in the former Soviet Union because she’s a Jewish immigrant to the US from Uzbekistan. Russians hate Jews and she gets a ton of really explicit abuse. Not people saying she’s pretty, but rather people saying they want to murder her because she’s pretty. It’s not good.

Nothing to get worked up about, li'l Al.

Boys like girls. Girls like boys.

Everybody likes money.

There ya have it.

I confess tolooking at her body, especially the upper chestical area, in a Jimmy Carter-like way.
