'Tatler' magazine sorry for offensive story about 'Downton Abbey' actress Daisy Lewis

Daisy Lewis attended a BAFTA celebration of 'Downton Abbey' in 2015.

Glossy United Kingdom magazine Tatler has apologized "unreservedly" to Downton Abbey actress Daisy Lewis for an offensive story in its current issue.

Lewis was listed in a "Little Black Book" Tatler feature listing the “most selectable, delectable eligibles of the year." Lewis was referred to as being "loud. Which makes her fun at a party. And in bed. Probably."

The actress took to Twitter to post a picture of the offensive section in the magazine with the hashtags #misogyny and #loudwomen.

More:Sexual harassment at work is a global problem. Now, the world is finally talking about it.

"I'm really shocked and upset by this. But thankfully I'm 'loud' enough to say it. Does anyone at Tatler read the news?" Lewis tweeted Friday.

Lewis told HuffPost UK that the article left her "frazzled."

“I know the girls who wrote it," she said. "The fact that it’s women writing that about other women is what upset me the most, really."

She continued, “That’s what makes me so sad, that [they thought] I would have been pleased to be included on a list of eligible — and for eligible to mean marriageable — people, as a sort of catalog. It feels like being part of a horse trade show or something.”

Tatler responded with the initial apology on its official Twitter account, promising "a full apology in the next issue."
