Eiza Gonzalez calls out misogynistic trolls for pitting her against Spanish musician Belinda: ‘No woman is better than another’
Eiza González has had quite the love life in recent years, which includes several notable men.
But the Mexican-born actress refuses to let the men she dates define her, let alone another woman.
She called out some misogynistic trolls Thursday on Twitter, which appeared to be in response to a viral meme, pitting her against Spanish musician Belinda.

The 30-year-old was featured in the meme, next to a lineup of men with whom she’s been romantically linked (Timothée Chalamet, Liam Hemsworth, Calvin Harris and Josh Duhamel).
It compared them to those in Belinda’s relationship history (including soccer player Giovani dos Santos and singer Lupillo Rivera).
Although Eiza tweeted in Spanish, Just Jared translated her words: ‘I hope that in 2021 we will be cured of the coronavirus, but also of the terrible misogynistic mentality. In how difficult it is to get recognition for your own work because apparently nothing is ever enough, they put us to compete and above all our value is only connected to one man.
‘Hopefully one day we will reach the point where we value the women who represent us in all spheres for their own effort, effort and sacrifice because although they do not believe it, man is not God and no man creates a woman. The woman stands out and stands on her own.’

Women supporting women: She added: ‘Please do not use me as an example to denigrate or minimize any woman. Never. Not her career, not her personal life, much less her physique. It is completely unacceptable’ (pictured in March, 2020)

She continued: ‘And finally, no woman is better than another. And especially women who have the tenacity and guts to survive the contempt and attacks day by day in this and other industries deserve all respect. Warrior woman. Because from the day we sadly only have a disadvantage as a woman.
‘Please do not use me as an example to denigrate or minimize any woman. Never. Not her career, not her personal life, much less her physique. It is completely unacceptable. And it’s not something I believe in or want to be a part of. Thank you.’
The Baby Driver actress added: ‘Not to mention that making fun of or using someone’s features, complexion, or skin color to minimize their value is absolutely wrong. Racism and classism is unacceptable.’
She was spotted over the summer around Los Angeles and Cabo San Lucas with her latest flame Chalamet, 24.
Eiza has also been promoting her movie Bloodshot, which dropped in late March on VOD, amid COVID-19 restrictions.
