'It's a joke to think that my own modesty will protect me from any disrespected I may experience as a femme body. Also, shout out to my body. I love you. You're mine.'

A number of social media user sought to persuade Pedretti to publicly name the person involved in the incident, but she declined - for now.

'Trust me, I told this person if I ever hear anything else in regards to him, like, then we have an issue,' Pedretti said in a subsequent Instagram Stories post.

Pedretti said she didn't want to see the actor canceled solely over the unwanted remark.

'I can handle it, I don't need his career ruined because he said something really f***ing dumb,' she said Pedretti, who played Manson disciple Lulu in the 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The actress said she did not initially intend to speak about the incident in her post.

'That post started with me wanting to post a nude and then thinking about my birthday,' Pedretti said. 'So the main point was the nude. 

'Especially when it's like, no matter what you do, people are going to say terrible things and … feel entitled to talk about women.'
