After being called "too skinny" one too many times, Rumer Willis recently lashed back at body-shaming Instagram trolls with a lengthy, empowering message via Instagram.

In her words, "[she knows she doesn't] need to do this but in an effort to spread some awareness and shed some light on body shaming tactics [she] felt the need to share."


It all began when the 32-year-old actor, who just so happens to be the daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, recently decided to post some summery pictures as she was heading out the door to catch a flight.

Multiple comments to that post, unfortunately, were not at all positive.

In fact, people told the Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood actor she "needs to eat" and that she's "too skinny."

Willis had zero patience for that, as an Instagram story with a lengthy wall of text made clear:

"After the barrage of some really inappropriate comments left on my pic I posted yesterday I was left really bummed cause I was really enjoying the silly pics I took.
"It was a weird angle that even made me feel like I looked smaller than I do in real life."

Then she called out the trolls.

"Even though you may think it's your job or even your right to leave your unfiltered thoughts or judgements about my body for me and others to read…it's not."

Willis also included a note about how destructive their comments can be to others.

"If I was really struggling with any kind of food issues (which I'm gratefully not) coming for me in my comments and telling me how I'm too skinny or I need to eat is absolutely not helpful and extremely body shaming."
"If you were actually concerned for my health and welfare or anyone you think may be actually struggling send them a dm and have a private conversation and really ask how they are doing and if they would like support instead of posting inflammatory public comments."

According to Yahoo! News, in addition to the written note, Willis later added a video clip to her story showing her eating a kiwi. The caption simply read, "bye trolls."

This, unfortunately, is not the first time Willis has been forced to put up with bullying of this kind.

In an interview with Huffington Post, Willis divulged the difficulties she faced as the singled-out child of celebrities.

"They said I had a huge jaw. They said I had a ′potato head."
"When you're 14 or 15, I didn't really understand having value in myself yet. My mind went to, 'OK, so if I get skinny or if I dress the right way or present myself very hyper-sexually and dress this way, then I'll be valued.'"

Clearly, Willis has come far.

And people who heard about her anti-troll PSA were thrilled.




Here's hoping Willis can post in peace from here on out.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
