Singer Jessie J has hit out at people comparing her looks with the ex of her rumoured new boyfriend, Hollywood actor Channing Tatum.
Fans of the pair have been using social media to debate who is more attractive after some said they look very similar.
Jessie said she could no longer ignore the issue after seeing the same comments come up again and again.
On Instagram, she posted: "Who does this story inspire?... Is picking who is prettier and then continuing to say why a good activity for women to participate in? No."
The UK singer said she was "disappointed and embarrassed that my name is even involved... because I know the kind of impact it has on younger girls reading it".
She added: "I am a woman that supports ALL women. I am a woman that loves ALL women and will not stand quietly when the media is teaching young girls to constantly compare one another. Or to pick who they think is prettier."
Tatum's ex, the actress and dancer Jenna Dewan, was quick to praise Jessie's post.
She tweeted: "Beautiful message @JessieJ #womensupportwomen #respect."
Jessie J is believed to have been dating Magic Mike star Tatum for a few months.
On Tuesday, the 38-year-old actor shared a picture of the singer performing at the Royal Albert Hall, posting: "This woman just poured her heart out on stage at the Royal Albert Hall. Whoever was there got to witness something special. Wow."
