As if! Alicia Silverstone, the star of 1995's Clueless among films, is letting trolls know that she has no patience for the way society talks about women's bodies in 2022.
Silverstone, 45, came across a photo of herself entitled "Alicia Silverstone Candid Fat Photo." Silverstone took to TikTok to let everybody know exactly what she thought of that caption.
@aliciasilverstone Damn. I think I look good 😂🤷🏼♀️ #abcdefu
Silverstone's response didn't take much to get the point across. She just gave a grimace and a hearty middle finger to cap it off.
"Damn, I think I look good," she captioned the video.

Silverstone has been the target of negative press about her body plenty of times in the past. After taking on the role of Batgirl in Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin, she was shocked and dismayed when paparazzi made fun of her body, calling her "FatGirl."
"It was hurtful but I knew they were wrong," she said.
"I wasn't confused. I knew that it was not right to make fun of someone's body shape, that doesn't seem like the right thing to be doing to a human."

Thankfully Silverstone's thick skin kept her safe as she endured attacks on her body in her early 20s.
"I didn't say 'f— you' and come out like a warrior," she noted,
"...but I would just walk away and go, 'Okay, I know what that is and I'm done, I'm not going near that again.' "

Many Hollywood actresses face similar criticisms on a daily basis, and the pressure for women to look "perfect" across media has never been so powerful.
More middle fingers like Silverstone's could undo the harmful messages of these body shamers.
