Singer Madison Beer has hit back at a troll who tried to body shame her in the comment section of her latest Instagram post.
The 24-year-old posted a series of photos wearing a short white dress that showed off her legs.
This prompted one commenter to write: “Hey Madison i’ve noticed that ur legs and arms are getting fatter.. please do some cardio because we men only like skinny girls.”

Beer previously spoke about her struggles with body image as a result of being a public figure and receiving all sorts of comments.
Speaking on the Today show back in April, Beer spoke about the effect of the “public scrutiny, bullying and harassment” she experienced.
The Dangerous singer shared that she had been “struggling” with body dysmorphia due to having “so many people impact me so negatively about my body when I was younger.

“I grew up pretty happy, I thought I had a nice body. But hearing endless comments about how I don’t, it was really, really hurtful to me when I was so young.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, body dysmorphia is a mental health condition in which a person “can’t stop thinking about a perceived defect or flaw in their appearance”, which can lead to anxiety and depression.
