“Bridgerton” Fans Are Calling Out The Show’s Alleged Mistreatment Of Simone Ashley, And It's So Important

The thread points out that Simone and Jonathan did not partake in promotional photoshoots or magazine covers like the other leading couples, nor did they sit down for joint interviews as a pair to discuss their characters’ love story.

The tweets also draw attention to how Kate has been described unflatteringly by some of the people behind Bridgerton and how she is the only female character whose name has not changed after getting married.

The viral thread, which you can read in full here, has since sparked more discourse around Kate/Simone’s treatment on the show. “Literally from day one Kate (now VISCOUNTESS BRIDGERTON mind you) has been denied the bare minimum afforded to every single other Bridgerton female romantic lead: promo solely with her love interest, a backstory, a wedding, a baby and now they’ve even denied her her married name,” one person wrote. “The production team’s apparent disrespect towards her is just downright disgusting,” said another.
