Perhaps most notably, in April 2020, Florence posted a video to her Instagram page condemning “abuse” in the comments section of her Instagram tribute to Zach on his 45th birthday.
“Within about eight minutes of the photo being posted, I had about 70 percent of the comments hurling abuse and being horrid — basically bullying someone on my page,” she said in the clip. “It is the first time in my entire Instagram life that I’ve had to turn off the comments on my page.”
She continued: “I am 24 years old. I do not need you to tell me who I should and should not love, and I would never in my life tell anyone who they can and cannot love. It is not your place.”
