<p>Support for Madsen's post poured in from her Bridgerton co-stars. Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington, responded with several heart emojis, while Jonathan Bailey, known for his role as Anthony Bridgerton, echoed the sentiment with a series of heart and raised hands emojis. Hannah Dodd, who portrays Francesca Bridgerton, expressed her affection with a comment saying, "Love youuuuuu," alongside a yellow heart emoji. Joanna Bobin, who plays Lady Cowper, also chimed in, saying, "Go baby girl! Love you." The author of the original Bridgerton book series, Julia Quinn, showed her support with a collection of rainbow heart emojis.<br />
<br />
Madsen has hinted about her sexuality in the past. Last June, she shared another Instagram post including graphics celebrating bisexuality. In the caption, she wrote, "Bi the way…. Happy Pride month (rainbow and red heart emojis)."</p>

In addition to celebrating Pride Month, Madsen recently addressed the hate her character, Cressida Cowper, receives from fans. In an interview with People, she said, "The internet is wild.

Madsen takes the comments in stride, often replying with a lighthearted "You're welcome."<br />

"It makes me feel like I've done my job right," she explained. "I really don't take those things personally. But I like it when people who I meet have appreciated the show. Yeah. That's always lovely."</p>
