In her emotional video, Romy expressed frustration over the ongoing comments doubting her honesty. “I feel like I’ve been so honest on the internet. I literally share my whole life with you, and you don’t believe me about this very, deeply personal thing,” she said. Romy emphasized her discomfort with people labeling her body as “plastic,” urging commenters to reconsider their judgments.
“I’ve never had any work done in my entire life,” Romy asserted. “It’s called the birth control pill. It’s called being 19. It’s called having the body I have. Sorry.” Her remarks reflect a growing trend where young women face intense scrutiny about their appearances on social media platforms.

One follower noted, “Y’all are way too comfortable talking about young women’s bodies in this way and it’s honestly sickening.”
The daughter of Sofia Coppola and musician Thomas Mars, Romy has been navigating the complexities of growing up in the public eye. Her parents have kept her and her sister, Cosima, out of the spotlight until they were ready to carve their own paths.
In addition to her social media presence, Romy has pursued a career in music and acting. She recently featured in the film Megalopolis and the series English Teacher, showcasing her talents beyond her famous lineage. Earlier this year, she released two singles, “A-Lister” and “Ego”.
Romy’s reflections on nepotism highlight her awareness of the advantages she has due to her family background, stating, “It’s true there’s so many talented people, more talented than me. I get the opportunity to record in a studio and have access to scripts because of my family.”
As the conversation around body image and social media continues to evolve, Romy Mars’ candidness serves as a reminder of the pressures young women face today. Her call for understanding and respect resonates with many, sparking discussions about the impact of online commentary on mental health.
