Anna Camp, 42, defended her relationship with girlfriend Jade Whipkey, 24, following backlash to their 18-year age difference.
'I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them,' the actress wrote in the comments of an Instagram post celebrating their red carpet debut last week.
'We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything,' Camp continued.
'Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well. Especially this Pride month.'
The star's response came after several online users expressed their disapproval over her romance with Whipkey.

'Just cuz they are gay doesn't excuse the weird ahh age gap [sic],' one critic commented on the same Instagram post.
'I'm in my mid 30s and I can't imagine having the necessary common ground to start a relationship with a 20 year old. What could they possibly have in common?' another wrote.
A third person claimed, 'Regardless of celebrity or gender: if a 42 year old is with a 24 year old, it's about power or control, even on a subconscious level.'
Camp and Whipkey made their red carpet debut last Wednesday at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Bride Hard' at the DGA Theatre Complex.

Days later, the duo was seen passionately kissing while out in LA.
Camp was previously linked to drummer Michael Johnson following her divorce from Skylar Astin.
She and her Pitch Perfect co-star were married for three years from 2016 to 2019.

The Project panellist Steve Price gets emotional in final apper

Don't miss out on the headlines from News. Followed categories will be added to My News. A long-time panellist on The Project has become emotional while reminiscing on his time at the legendary show. A tear welled up in the eye of Steve Price, a long-term media commentator and television and radio host, appeared regularly on the show for some 15 years and a tear welled up in his eye as he say goodbye on Monday night. The recently axed show will stop airing on Friday and Monday marked Mr Price's final appearance. He appeared as a panellist since the show first aired in 2009 as The 7PM Project before its name was changed to The Project in 2011. When asked by a fellow host how he was feeling about the show concluding, he said he was 'sad'. Steve Price reflected on his Monday night slot on the long-standing program. Picture: The Project 'I don't know what I'm going to do next Monday night,' he said. 'My daughter Kate is here tonight and she was 11 when I started doing this, so she was still in primary school. 'I've been very privileged to sit here. I've always been amazed that an old white guy like me sitting on the end of the bench was ever going to be allowed to stay for more than a week and I stayed here for 15 years.' Price, who also hosts a Friday evening program on Sky News, writes columns for the Saturday Herald Sun and has previously worked in radio. He praised his co-hosts and saluted the people who worked behind-the-scenes on the show. 'The on-air hosts have been fantastic. They've all been very generous and kind to me,' he said.

Beauty and the Geek star denies false rumours about alleged murder case

Former Beauty and the Geek winner Kiera Johnstone has been forced to publicly deny rumours wrongly linking her to a grisly alleged murder. An ex-castmate of the reality program, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of killing her partner after a man's body was found inside a property in Port Lincoln, South Australia following a fire on Thursday. The accused was taken into custody at the scene but a court order has been placed over her identity and details of the case. Johnstone said the rumour mill had gone into overdrive and took to social media at the weekend to declare she had not been arrested last week and was 'not involved in any way' to the alleged crime. 'There has been speculation online suggesting that I am involved,' she shared on Instagram. 'Let me be absolutely clear: I have never been charged with a crime. 'The allegations being discussed have nothing to do with me, and the fact that I even need to say this is incredibly upsetting.' Johnstone — who won the 2021 series of Beauty and the Geek alongside her match Lachlan Mansell — said the online speculation was being fuelled by people 'sharing, gossiping, or silently watching', and asked for it to 'please stop' given it is 'a serious situation'. 'It's deeply disturbing to see people spreading false information, making assumptions and sharing screenshots,' the Melbourne jewellery boutique owner said. 'This kind of speculation is damaging and invasive and is something I take very seriously.' Police and forensics spent significant time at the Port Lincoln property after a man's body was discovered on Thursday afternoon. The accused — who also appeared on Beauty and the Geek, a program where socially awkward men share a mansion with attractive women — was arrested at the scene and taken to a local hospital, where she was charged with murder. 'I don't have any advice in relation to how long the man has been deceased. That will form part of our investigation,' SA Police State Operations Service Assistant Commissioner Ian Parrott said on Friday. 'I'm not going to comment on the injuries of the deceased.' The accused faced court on Friday via phone link and has been remanded in custody. She will appear in court again at a later date. Stream free on
