The advertising watchdog organization in the UK also added that the ad presented FKA Twigs as a stereotypical sexual object. Hearing that she had become a hot topic of conversation on social media, FKA Twigs certainly defended herself by uploading a photo of the controversial advertisement on Instagram with a caption that read, "I don't see the 'stereotypical sexual object' that they show me. I saw a beautiful, strong woman of incredible color who had been through more pain than you could imagine.”
