Florence disclosed that being so outspoken in her career has often led her to being labeled as a diva, and has created an assumption that she’s difficult to work with. 

"There are fine lines women have to stay within, otherwise they are called a diva, demanding, problematic,” the actress stated. 

"I don't want to fit into stereotypes made by others."

She explained that during her 10-year-career, she has dealt with body-shamers, and online trolls.
