Keira Knightley: Women hate me and I don't care

But actress doesn't like jibes about her weight

Keira Knightley stars in The Duchess

Keira Knightley says women are critical of her but she's had to rise above it.

The Duchess actress thinks it’s all part of being an actress.

‘If you put yourself in the public forum, it’s what you put yourself up for,’ she says. ‘I don’t need to read it.

'Manipulation is something women do a lot. Women get obsessed with other women – love them or hate them.’

But she does get hurt by accusations she's anorexic.

‘Someone saying you have a mental illness is difficult to take,’ she tells thelondonpaper. ‘I am skinny. I’ve always been skinny.’

Keira, 23, recently beat Angelina Jolie, 33, and Kylie Minogue, 40, to be named the celeb with the perfect pout.

Leslie Ash, 48, Amy Winehouse, 24, and Jodie Marsh, 29, have the worst lips, according to the Blistex poll of 3,000 women.
