Why is Caitlin Stasey calling an Australian newspaper "entitled c*nts"?

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

(WARNING: Potentially NSFW boob shot coming up.)

Australian actress Caitlin Stasey has unleashed her fury after a profile on her was delayed when she refused to pose nude, labelling the Fairfax magazine’s producers “entitled c**ts”.

The former star of Neighbours, Tomorrow, When The War Began and Please Like Me, says just because she published naked images of herself on her feminist website does not mean she had to agree to the revealing photoshoot.

According to Crikey, Stasey was interviewed at length earlier this year for a piece in Fairfax’s magazine insert, Good Weekend, and promised a photoshoot.

But after she rejected the concept of the shoot – reportedly represented by a mood board featured naked or barely-dressed women – the feature was put on the backburner.

In a statement made to Buzzfeed News, Stasey said: “They were full steam ahead before I said no to nudes. Ben’s a creep and a liar and a cunt and told his team that I was fine with nudes.”

Stasey set out her take on the saga on Twitter today, saying the magazine claimed they had no room to run the piece after she refused to pose naked.

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

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

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

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

Does anyone have anything to add? @smh @theage Regrets? Apologies? Some semblance of a bullshit defence? — caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) July 16, 2015

In several tweets, she singled out Good Weekend editor Ben Naparstek and accused him of lying to his staff, telling them she had agreed to the flesh-baring vision board.

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

— caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) July 16, 2015

A ‘concept’ they never ran by me, that I never agreed to, that they sprung on me last second. You entitled cunts @smh pic.twitter.com/dgORJVthEh

The lead culprit being @BenNaparstek Claiming (lying) that we had agreed to the vision board he had chosen.

.@stephharmon @BenNaparstek absolute bullshit – you sent me new mood boards, and I corresponded with your team. I have the emails, Bro — caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) July 16, 2015

 Mr Naparstek told Mamamia the team decided to can the shoot after being offered existing photos by Stasey’s agent. He made the decision to delay the profile piece until her upcoming projects were released later this year so the story would have a stronger news hook.

“I totally 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,” Mr Naparstek said.

“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 chose 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.”

We look forward to reading the story when it is ultimately released.
