'Not his shadow': Andrew Garfield's girlfriend condemns media's 'misogynistic' scrutiny
Dr. Kate Tomas, the new partner of Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield, has voiced her dissatisfaction with the public's fixation on her relationship. In a recent interview with the Sunday Times, she labeled this interest as "misogynistic." Despite her own significant achievements, Tomas finds it disheartening that her romantic involvement with Garfield seems to overshadow them. She stated emphatically, "I don't want to sit under anybody's shadow."
Tomas criticized the paparazzi's role in amplifying public scrutiny
Tomas, who identifies as a "professional witch" and "spiritual mentor," has faced increased scrutiny since she began dating the Amazing Spider-Man star. She expressed her discontent with the paparazzi, stating, "They [the paps] will take maybe 150 pictures, then they choose the four where you look worst." The 42-year-old has been divorced four times and this public attention on her personal life is a new challenge she is grappling with.
'Thousands of women telling me I'm ugly...'
On her podcast, The Friday Emails, Tomas opened up about the online cruelty she has been subjected to, particularly from other women. She shared her experience saying, "F-king hell, nothing could prepare me for having literally thousands of women telling me I'm ugly, I'm unattractive, I'm less than in every conceivable way." "It's frustrating that no matter how accomplished a woman is, it's always going to be more interesting if they are in a relationship with a man."
When did Garfield and Tomas publicly acknowledge their relationship
Garfield and Tomas confirmed their relationship in April when they were seen holding hands during a double date with Phoebe Bridgers and Bo Burnham in Malibu, California. This public outing came two months after Garfield was spotted being affectionate with Sports Illustrated model Olivia Brower. The 40-year-old actor has previously been linked to model Alyssa Miller, actor Emma Stone, and singer Rita Ora.
