Evan put her ”bullying” experience down to being ”inexperienced and shy” but has learned from how uncomfortable she felt that day. She added: ”I think when you are young and inexperienced and shy you can be bullied more. I learned to say no.”
The star – who has a 14-month-old son with estranged husband Jamie Bell – hoped sharing her experience would encourage her fans to ”stay true” to themselves, insisting she wasn’t complaining about any of the ”privileges” of her job. She added: ”To all the haters. I am not complaining about being on the cover of vanity fair. I understand I am very privileged and there are far worse thing to go through. My point was that things aren’t always what they seem. Especially in this industry. What may seem glamorous sometimes comes at a price. I only want to encourage other young girls to stay true to who they are. No matter what. Hold on to your self.(sic)” Evan also insisted she bared no hard feelings towards the publication. She wrote: ”Side note, I have shot the cover of ‘vanity fair’ since and had a much different experience. It was quite lovely.”
