40+ Moments When Celebrities Clapped Back Against Their Critics

40+ Moments When Celebrities Clapped Back Against Their Critics

People seem to forget that celebrities are human, too, and you can’t just trash their appearance because they’re famous. Beauty standards are already unreasonable for us normal people, but for celebrities, there’s even more pressure to be “perfect.” Well, enough is enough for these famous people! They responded to their critics by clapping back and proving that everyone is lovely.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera’s figure changed a little after giving birth, which is entirely normal and natural. However, the media chose to focus on Christina’s size rather than praising how admirably she was managing to be a working mother.

Christina Aguilera

Despite the fact that there are several other factors that might change a person’s body, they claimed that her new appearance was caused by alcohol. Nevertheless, as Christina collectedly stated, “As long as I am happy in my own skin, that is all that is all the confirmation I need.”

Rihanna

There’s no denying that Rihanna sets trends and that anything she does is immediately considered “cool,” but it doesn’t excuse a journalist’s headline wondering if Rihanna’s size would turn to be overweight into a “hot new trend.”

Rihanna

Naturally, Bad Girl RiRi had the ideal retort, “If you can’t handle me at my 2007 Gucci Mane / you don’t deserve me at my 2017 Gucci Mane.” Ironically, that remark gained popularity and was widely shared on social media for months!

Victoria Beckham

One such critic started to attack a number of celebrities after seeing a picture of Victoria Beckham. The comment read, “Victoria Beckham’s worst fears have come true as she has joined the wrinkly hand club — which also includes Sarah Jessica Parker, Courteney Cox, and Madonna.”

Victoria Beckham

Is it true that superstars can no longer get older? Why are there no men in this “club” as well? Does this person truly believe that a wrinkled hand is anyone’s “worst fear”?

Sarah Jessica Parker

Though we can all undoubtedly agree that Sarah Jessica Parker’s photos never blinded anyone, beauty is a subjective concept. But she receives criticism for her appearance all the time. In fact, Sarah Jessica appears as a horse in a whole segment of Family Guy!

Sarah Jessica Parker

Surprisingly, her nose’s form is what she criticizes the most. Although Owen Wilson’s nose is practically identical to the actress’s, nobody seems to be troubled by it. Multiple standards? In our opinion, yes.

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson, like many other celebrities, never agreed to have her appearance analyzed. She began her career as a singer and is currently a talk show host; none of these roles has a particular physical need.

Kelly Clarkson

However, when Kelly’s figure somewhat altered during pregnancy, the media went bonkers.“Kelly Clarkson shocked fans during her second pregnancy when she gained a massive amount of weight.” What exactly do these tabloids believe happens to a woman during pregnancy?

Tyra Banks

Paparazzi frequently have to wait for hours on end to get an unpleasant shot of a celebrity. Tyra Banks experienced this firsthand after a photographer captured a photo of her in which it appeared as though she had put on a few pounds.

Fortunately, Tyra skillfully refuted the criticism. She appeared on The Tyra Banks Show wearing the same same swimsuit, demonstrating how unflattering the shot really was. The supermodel then made the opportunity for her detractors to kiss the exact body part they were disparaging.

Soleil Moon Frye

When Soleil Moon Frye played Penelope “Punky” Brewster in the Punky Brewster television series at age 7, she shot to fame. Her body matured unusually quickly due to genetics, and even as a young girl, she was frequently treated as a lady.

Soleil Moon Frye

Not much better was the press, which referred to Soleil as a “Punky Boobster” when she was only 13 years old. Everyone laughed at Soleil and pretended that the actress had done something wrong by becoming pregnant early and “jail baiting” men.

Megan Fox

People tend to go to any extent to find anything “wrong” with someone in order to attack women for their beauty. Critics had to go so far as to pick out just one finger to criticize Megan Fox.

Megan Fox

Megan was born with a short thumb, often known as Brachydactyly type D. In essence, it’s a disorder that can be identified by a thumb that is relatively short and rounded, along with an associated wider nail bed. The media had a field day implying that Megan’s thumb detracts from her overall appearance. Oh no, as if.

Ben Affleck

Men can absolutely be victims of artificial aesthetic standards, even though women undoubtedly have it worse. Ben Affleck was seen gazing out at the water shortly after he and Jennifer Garner called it quits.

Ben Affleck

It seems that celebrities are no longer permitted to appreciate nature, especially if they have gained some weight. Because Ben was gazing at the waves, the media inferred that he was depressed. He was referred to as “sad Ben,” and a whole story was written about how “pathetic” his life had become. Seriously, all of this happened because the guy was reflecting.

Kate Winslet

After Titanic became such a big hit, Kate Winslet became well-known. Due to her girth, she regrettably also became the target of numerous jokes regarding that well-known door scene.

Kate Winslet

Even a theater teacher advised her to settle for hefty sidekick roles rather than attempting to be a leading actress. As it turned out, Kate had the last laugh since she went on to win an Oscar and become one of the most prominent actors of her generation.

Jennifer Hudson

Living proof that women simply can’t win when it comes to attractiveness is Jennifer Hudson. The singer received criticism for being excessively huge when she first gained notoriety on American Idol. Jennifer made the decision to reduce her weight after giving birth to her kid in order to be healthier for him.

Jennifer Hudson

The pop star was then seen to be too little by the media! So, it would seem that a woman is “unhealthy” if she doesn’t fall into the clearly “perfect” weight range (which often only has wiggle room of a three-pound radius).

Scarlett Johannson

Being an adult female human, Scarlett Johannson has some cellulite. The fact that a grown woman’s body has some cellulite should hardly be noteworthy, yet tabloids were all over a swimsuit snap that revealed Scarlett’s thigh backs.

Scarlett Johannson

They described the actress as being “over the hill” and “covered in cellulite,” when they actually meant “human” and “had a normal amount.” There, we changed that.

Sarah Hyland

Sarah Hyland, a Modern Family star, has drawn flak for her petite stature. Let’s disregard the fact that Sarah’s appearance is none of the public’s concern and that it wasn’t even her aim to lose weight.

Sarah Hyland

Due to a kidney transplant, the actress was placed on bed rest; as one could expect, this entails losing muscle mass because of inactivity. Sarah had to explain to the world why her body had changed, rather than using that time to concentrate on her recuperation.

Gabby Douglas

Olympic gymnast and silver medalist Gabby Douglas. This woman performed flips, cartwheels, and jumps that the majority of us could only only imagine. So, of course, what was everyone’s attention on? Her locks.

Gabby Douglas

Evidently, some people thought Gabby’s hair didn’t appear “professional” enough. These remarkable internet trolls who can maintain their hair exactly in place while performing somersaults in the air are people we’d love to meet.

Gabourey Sidibe

At the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, Gabourey Sidibe looked stunning in her shimmering gown. However, she received several derogatory remarks regarding her weight. One person even wrote, “Who thought this was okay? “followed by a picture of the actress.

Gabourey Sidibe

Is it okay for someone over size two to leave the house? Gabourey, however, made the clapback of the year with her writing, “To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I most def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night.” Perfect.

Jennifer Aniston

Don’t ask Jennifer Aniston whether she is pregnant, just so you know. In fact, never ever ask someone whether they are pregnant. Do not presume a lady is pregnant unless you see a baby’s head rising.

Jennifer Aniston

When she said, Jennifer phrased it precisely, “For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up. I’m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny … that occurs daily under the guise of ‘journalism,’ the ‘First Amendment,’ and ‘celebrity news.’”

Serena Williams

Serena Williams is a highly gifted athlete, therefore it is safe to presume that she has a few muscles. Serena’s athletic build, though, has led some online haters to believe that she looks masculine.

Serena Williams

It’s ironic that when celebrities are overweight or underweight, people constantly seem “concerned” about their “health.” Serena Williams is the healthiest person I know. Her physique isn’t the “correct” body type, though. Luckily, J.K. Rowling stepped in with this gem — “Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You’re an idiot.”

Lady Gaga

In contrast to her flawless performance, Lady Gaga’s physique was the talk of the 2017 Super Bowl as she gave a performance. While Gaga is by no means “chunky,” her shorts for her performance were too small for her.

Lady Gaga

People assumed that Gaga needed to lose weight rather than realizing that her wardrobe stylist just ordered the wrong size. Sadly, the general people refused to recognize that Gaga’s shorts didn’t fit well, which revealed nothing about her figure and everything about the shorts.

Khloé Kardashian

Khloé Kardashian seems to be the target of criticism all the time. The media frequently referred to her as the “ugly” Kardashian, so when she underwent plastic surgery, everyone was apparently taken aback. Her weight is now the problem.

Khloé Kardashian

The reality personality was criticized for being too fat and told she needed to slim down for years. So she reduced her weight. Everyone now argues that she has to put on a little weight since she is too thin. Khloé summed it up perfectly when she sarcastically said, “I love this game!! ”

Jonah Hill

Although Jonah Hill has lost weight recently, at the start of his career, the actor had to deal with people telling him his weight, as if he didn’t know.

Jonah Hill

When Jonah begged his supporters for help, he did it with more grace and patience than any of us could muster if we were in his shoes. “I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you not comment on my body, good or bad, I want to politely let you know it’s not helpful and doesn’t feel good. Much respect.”

Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy is not interested in the negativity of haters. Melissa feels sorry for those who use their concern for her well-being as a pretext to insult her weight.

Melissa McCarthy

“I felt really bad for someone who is swimming in so much hate. I just thought that’s someone who’s in a really bad spot, and I am in such a happy spot. I laugh my head off every day with my husband and my kids who are mooning me and singing me songs.”

Nicola Coughlan

We can see why Nicola Coughlan is tired of people not even trying to remember her name! When reviewing Nicola’s 2021 Golden Globes dress, one particular podcaster kept referring to her as the heavy girl from Bridgerton.

Nicola Coughlan

He asserted that the actress covered up her weight by donning a black cardigan with her yellow outfit. Nicola answered deftly, “I thought the cardigan looked ace, Molly Goddard used them on her runway with the dresses that’s where the idea came from, also I have a name.”

Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish appears in the most recent Women Can Never Win episode. The singer rose to fame wearing baggy clothes and having a carefree attitude, which were sometimes criticized for not being sufficiently “feminine.”

Billie Eilish

She recently underwent a makeover, beginning to dress in more form-fitting clothing. This is why women are emotional – it’s not hormones, it’s the stress of continual observation and criticism. Of course, everyone started flipping out and labeling Billie “promiscuous.”

Ashley Graham

Ashley Graham, a supermodel, has been in the spotlight long enough to understand that everything she does will get criticism. Almost all of Ashley’s social media posts have received some sort of trolling.

Ashley Graham

She made the argument quite well, “When I post a photo from a ‘good angle,’ I receive criticism for looking smaller and selling out. When I post photos showing my cellulite, stretch marks, and rolls, I’m accused of promoting obesity.”

Ariel Winter

Of all the Modern Family kids, Ariel Winter has arguably received the most negative feedback. Fans made improper comments as Ariel’s physique started to resemble a woman’s. The public took offense when her weight changed, as it does when a person matures.

Ariel Winter

People began to doubt Ariel’s innocence as she began to modify her wardrobe to reflect her age. What did they believe would happen, exactly? She’d always be a child?

Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen faced a barrage of criticism over her figure when she shared a swimsuit photo on social media. She was described as being “shaped like Spongebob,” but what Spongebob episode were they watching? They also referred to Chrissy’s husband, John Legend, saying that he’s “gotta be cheating.”

Chrissy Teigen

Wow, we feel horrible for these people’s relationships if they believe that a partner’s physique type proves they are definitely having an affair! Chrissy skillfully dismissed it by writing, ”I’m happy, John’s happy, we all happy and doing a-okay!”

Wentworth Miller

Wentworth Miller of Prison Break claims to have experienced some personal difficulty and used food as comfort. Unfortunately, the internet cruelly made a meme in which they contrasted two images of the actor and wrote, Rather than giving the actor some much-needed time to recuperate.

Wentworth Miller

“When you break out of prison and find out about McDonald’s monopoly …” Wentworth did a commendable job of using the occasion to spread awareness of bullying dangers and mental health.

Amy Schumer

Because Amy Schumer isn’t a size two, the media loves to portray her as a victim who suffers in her body. In the meantime, Amy is actually outside having the time of her life.

Amy Schumer

The actress made the point that she doesn’t really worry about intimacy because she can have it whenever she wants. “That’s the truth. It’s not a problem.” Well, why would it be? Amy also assured fans that the haters can’t hurt someone who has “zero shame in your game.”

Emma Stone

One of the celebrities often made fun of for her thin figure is Emma Stone. Don’t worry; the haters would be prepared to condemn her for gaining more weight as well.

Emma Stone

Emma has since discovered how to ignore the trolls. The actress claimed: “I’ve seen a lot of comments that say, ‘Eat a sandwich’ or ‘She looks sick.’ I’ve been looking at myself in the mirror, being mean to myself. I’m not sick. I eat sandwiches.”

Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh was dressed in a translucent dress that revealed her chest. Evidently, individuals believed that because they could see it, they had a right to comment on it.

Florence Pugh

Florence received criticism from the public for her display of her chest, claiming that she was too flat to do so. The actor retorted, “It makes me wonder what happened to you to be so content on being so loudly upset by the size of my … and body..?” That’s a really good question…

50 Cent

When 50 Cent was 30 years old, the hit song “Lil Bit” was released. The rapper has the chutzpah to be now 47 years old since that time. When 50 Cent played in the Super Bowl in 2022, the audience looked bewildered by the passage of time.

50 Cent

The criticism doesn’t affect 50 Cent since it “only applies when you’re ashamed,” which he most surely shouldn’t be! They were startled and disturbed that he no longer had the exact same body that he did when he was a young man!

Teddi Mellencamp

Teddi Mellencamp, a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills actress, faced numerous comments when she donned a pink little dress. Evidently, some were upset that Teddi’s cellulite was not covered by the garment.

Teddi Mellencamp

The internet determined that a grown woman’s cellulite was what their eyes couldn’t take in a world full of graphic horror films and sexual films that are questionable at best. Teddi answered, “Guess what?! I am proud of it and most of us have it. Let’s normalize the reality.”

Chloe Cherry

Chloe Cherry, from the band Euphoria, was born with the kind of lips that most people spend a lot of money getting. It’s interesting to see that the general public tends to believe Chloe’s natural lips are excessive. How many of those same people regularly pay for injections is a question we have.

Chloe Cherry

The actress remarked that prior to being renowned, no one appeared to be worried or upset by her lips. She was able to go years without anyone seeing her face and scream frantically. Suppose that.

Kylie Jenner

The internet took the utterly unnecessary decision to compare Kylie Jenner’s pre- and post-baby bodies after she gave birth to her child Stormi. Then, when someone said that Kylie looked better “before” Stormi on her social media, the reality star had the ideal reply.

Kylie Jenner

“I birthed a baby.” Seriously, there is no need for more explanation. Actually, there shouldn’t have been any need for an explanation. Whose remarkable transformation of her body has caused this person to worry about which Kylie was slimmer? Really?!

Bethenny Frankel

The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel ought to offer a course on the nature of time. The real-life celebrity said, “My favorite is people telling me that I’ve aged & that I don’t look how I used to…Ummm yeah, wait…am I doing it wrong?”

Bethenny Frankel

“Are we not all aging? Even if I filter myself and get plastic surgery I assume I’m still getting older, not younger right. Or am I bad at math and science?” Bethenny, you are entirely correct.

Beyoncé

Even Queen Bey receives criticism on occasion. Beyoncé made the decision to create a song using the criticism she received rather than pout or cry over it. We will always be grateful that tune, which went on to become the number-one single “Bootylicious.”

Beyoncé

Beyoncé claimed that this song in particular was “the beginning of me using whatever life handed me and turning it into something empowering to other women and men who were struggling with the same thing.”

Matt LeBlanc

It’s pretty funny how people persist on basing assumptions about someone’s mental health purely on how they appear to others. People observed that Matt LeBlanc’s physique had changed when he showed up in the Friends reunion program.

Matt LeBlanc

The public insisted that Matt must be experiencing something rather than accepting the fact that it has been almost 20 years since Friends first aired. In actuality, he had just aged — as we all do — despite their assertions that he was “smashing the scales” and had “hit rock bottom”!

Simone Biles

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has unintentionally sparked real controversy due to the condition of her hair. You’re not experiencing déjà vu; the world is simply treating Simone in the same manner that it treated Gabby Douglas.

Simone Biles

Simone effectively ended it by stating, “I have one question to everyone commenting about my hair when I genuinely look happy in the photo. Do you look perfect ALL the time? Everything in perfect order?” We believe we know the solution.

Alicia Silverstone

When Alicia Silverstone was chosen to play Batgirl in Batman and Robin, the media mocked her weight by calling her by a name that rhymes with Batgirl. At least be creative if they’re going to be harsh.

Alicia Silverstone

In a recent TikTok video that she posted, Alicia expressed how she felt about the on-going scrutiny by raising her middle finger as Gayle’s song “ABCDEFU” is playing. The video is captioned “Damn. I think I look good.” You do, Alicia, you do.

Kourtney Kardashian

As usual, Kourtney Kardashian’s curves were interpreted by the public as proof that she was expecting. Because, God forbid, a famous person has a huge lunch.

Kourtney Kardashian

The fan was reassured by Kourtney that she wasn’t pregnant, but she “a woman with a BODY.” The reality star went on to say, “I know what my body looks like when I’m pregnant. I’ve been pregnant three times. It’s very feminine to have curves and I embrace my body, so I didn’t take it offensively.”

Britney Spears

The media has made fun of Britney Spears since since she first appeared. Sadly, they don’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon since the most recent criticism has focused on the pop star’s physique. Let’s be clear: Britney can dance for hours on end while singing, even when it’s physically challenging!

Britney Spears

Even if this A-lister doesn’t always have a six-pack, it is obvious that she is in excellent health. How is that anyone’s concern other than her own, even if she weren’t healthy (which she is)?

Madonna

Although only specific types of curves are allowed even today, Madonna first gained notoriety in the 1980s, when beauty standards hadn’t yet welcomed curvier proportions. She was frequently referred to as “chunky,” and the media looked startled that fans were drawn to her.

Madonna

The media has chosen to discuss Madonna’s age now that they aren’t making fun of her weight anymore, as if she is the only person who has ever aged. See? Even the Pop Queen can’t win!

Iskra Lawrence

Iskra Lawrence, a model, silenced critics who objected to her physique. As Iskra is well aware, deeds speak louder than words. She therefore employed the very thing for which she is well known—modeling—instead of calling the critics out in a way that they would easily brush aside.

Iskra Lawrence

Iskra staged a picture shoot using bags of chips to demonstrate that she can eat and look nice doing it. That is a decent method to mock the haters. In no way!

Selena Gomez

It seems natural that Selena Gomez’s figure transformed as she grew up because she rose to fame at a very early age. The paparazzi pictures of the pop star/actress in a pink bikini were therefore not warmly received.

Selena Gomez

Selena correctly noted that the remarks didn’t just refer to her as “heavy” and then move on. So they got all that from the girl growing a little? Instead, she was dubbed a “mess” and there was anxiety that she’d “gone off the deep end.”

Cameron Diaz

When Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake split up, a paparazzi photo of the actress surfaced along with an unflattering title. Cameron generally doesn’t have stomach rolls, but the way she was hunched over gave her those rolls.

Cameron Diaz

The message to young girls was that it’s awful to have rolls when bending over or sitting down (even though everyone does), and if you seem less than perfect, your lover would leave you, according to the caption, which said something along the lines of, “Maybe those rolls are what chased Justin away.”
