Madison Beerhas no time for trolls.
“Hey madison i’ve noticed that ur legs and arms are getting fatter,” a male follower wrote in a since-deleted comment. “Please do some cardio because we men only like skinny girls. Ur face is already perfect, but please we love a thin-waisted girl.”
Beer, 24, who had simply captioned the image “lazing on a sunday afternoon,” didn’t have time for their criticism and decided to clap back.
The comment has since disappeared, but fans have continued to come to Beer’s defense.
“Can’t believe some dudes feel they have the right to comment on someone else’s appearance,” one fan wrote. “Keep slaying.”
Another fan commented, “Madison beer you are gorgeous no matter what.”
Beer has been open about her experiences with online bullying in the past.

She detailed the “public scrutiny, bullying and harassment” she’s experienced with fame and admitted that in the past few months, she’s been “struggling” with body dysmorphia because she had “so many people impact me so negatively about my body when I was younger.”
Body dysmorphia is described as a mental health disorder in which a personcan’t stop thinking about a perceived defect or flawin their appearance, according to the Mayo Clinic. The disorder can cause anxiety and depression, making it difficult to function in social situations and daily life.
At the time of the conversation, Beer revealed that she had recently been “restricting herself a lot” when it came to food.
“I wasn’t eating as much as I should be,” she admitted, noting that as she struggled with restrictive eating she saw a comment from a troll that said, “Someone needs to tell her to stop eating and put the fork down.”
She continued, “I’m getting to a place where I’m feeling more confident, but it does suck and it is really hurtful when people have no idea what you’re going through behind closed doors.”
While dealing with scrutiny on social media, the musician urged her younger fans to limit their screen time because “life is very short.”
