Natalie Morales has hit out at a photographer who she claimed "purposefully" took invasive photos of her in a bid to manufacture a "wardrobe malfunction" at the premiere of Battle of the Sexes.
The actress, who plays tennis star Rosie Casals in the new film, said the incident left her 'horrified' after "one of the happiest moments of my life thus far".
Morales vented her anger at the photographer – who she didn't name – in a lengthy Twitter rant.
She tweeted: "So someone sent me photos of me having what they called a 'wardrobe malfunction' at last weekend's premiere of Battle of the Sexes
which was one of the happiest moments of my life thus far. These are pictures they PURPOSELY took up my skirt TO GET A SHOT of my vag."
The actress accused the photographer of trying to "exploit" her body, and said she shouldn't be victim to invasive angles simply because she wanted to flash her leg.
She said that she wouldn't have been embarrassed even if the photographer had managed to take a photo of her "bits" but that they should feel embarrassed for making the attempt.

Morales later posted a statement in which she said her first instinct was to "ignore [the photos] and move on," but that she decided to "not let it slide" because it happens to women all of the time.
She said the act is part of a far bigger problem "with how we tear down women and reduce them to a sum of body parts, to be at once both sexualised and shamed."
Fellow actress Emma Watson previously called out a photographer who she accused of laying down and taking photos up her skirt after she celebrated her 18th birthday.
Recalling the incident to Esquire she said: "I remember on my 18th birthday I came out of my birthday party and photographers laid down on the pavement and took photographs up my skirt,
which were then published on the front of the English tabloid [newspapers] the next morning.
"If they had published the photographs 24 hours earlier they would have been illegal, but because I had just turned 18 they were legal."
