Last weekend, Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon showed up at the SAG Awards in a racy outfit, taking a cue from Seinfeld and wearing a bra as a top for the ceremony. While some applauded her fashion choice, British journalist Piers Morgan took to Twitter to criticize the move in what has been called cleavage-shaming. Of course, Sarandon decided hit back, Rocky Horror Picture Show style!
According to The Independent, the actress took to Twitter last Thursday to share a throwback pic of herself, once again wearing a bra: a still from her role as Janet Weiss in the '70s cult musical.

Last Saturday, Sarandon looked better than most women of any age and even better considering she's 69 years old, but there was some backlash to her choice of wardrobe. Morgan in particular said that her outfit was inappropriate for what she had gone to the stage to do. She presented the In Memoriam section of the night, a tribute to the Screen Actors Guild members who had passed away over the course of the year. The Good Morning Britain presenter asked whether Sarandon would wear the same outfit at a funeral.
In any case, Standard UK reports that since Sarandon answered Morgan's comments, his Twitter has been filled with pictures of women in their bras and he's now "under cleavage attack" as women take to social media to accuse him of shaming a woman for showing her body.
"Woke up to hundreds of cleavage tweets from feminists," Morgan tweeted. "If guys did that to a feminist writer she'd scream for their arrests. I just laughed."
Morgan also hit back with humor, although more disturbing than Sarandon's photo, taking to Twitter a couple of hours after Sarandon's Rocky Horror picture to post his own version, dedicating his own #TBT to the Thelma & Louise star.
Whatever Morgan's intentions were by criticizing Sarandon, Sarandon's way of responding was pretty fun!
