The actor took to her Instagram stories to call out people who left 'negative' comments after her list of her parenting essentials for 'The Strategist.'

Ah, the internet. With online anonymity comes the tendency to say hateful and rude things without considering that the recipient of such vitriol is an actual person with actual feelings.

A case in point is the negativity spewed by trolls in a recent Instagram post by The Strategist featuring Rumer Willis.


The new mom compiled a list of her parenting essentials, which included items such as a $60 Stanley cup, $34 whipped tallow cream, and a $75 Le Feu De L’eau Petale candle, and The Strategist shared the feature on social media.


Not surprisingly, the trolls came out to play.

But Willis was not standing for it.

She first took to the comments section to call out the users who left the nasty replies, writing:

"Wow y'all in the comment section are so mean."
"I wonder if you would say this to my face."

Willis then shared a video to her Instagram stories to address the negativity.

The video started with the text:

"Please don't be an a**hole."

And then Willis began:

"I was really taken aback at the level of negativity and just trolling."
"I know I should just come to expect this because it's just what people do and think it's okay to just treat other people that way."

She continued:

"Regardless of whether you like me or not or think I’ve accomplished anything in my life or not, I’m also just a human being that has feelings."
"I am a sensitive human being and I'd greatly appreciate it if you weren't so nasty to me and so mean to me."

She added that the items she shared are things that bring her joy, and she hoped others could find joy in them, as well.

She finished her message:

"Even though you can label and call me a nepo baby or whatever it is, I’m also just a person."

People applauded Willis for speaking out, and agreed it's ridiculous to attack her just because of who her parents are.

Others reminded Willis that trolls have nothing better to do and she should pay them no mind.

Willis followed up with an adorable picture of herself with new daughter Louetta and boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas, writing:

"I have never been happier and feel more in love than I ever have been."
"I have the most wonderful daughter beyond my wildest dreams."
