Trolls should have known better than trolling Padma Lakshmi or anyone for that matter. The supermodel-chef, on Thursday, posted a video, in which she says, "Somebody commented yesterday on my Instagram that I had fat arms and I should lift weight." She was asked, "Do you have anything to say to them?" She simply replied by lifting a finger. She added the hashtags #bodypositivity and #clapback. In the comments, Drew Barrymore wrote, "ahhahahahhahhahhahahah." Another comment read, "They must have blurred vision or something." A third read, "Clap back, Sister! I want to jump through my phone and say to them, "I'm sorry, you were just rocking a bikini in Sports Illusrated at 52? I don't think so!" You're gorgeous, Padma. Every bit of you."
Another comment read, "The energy and confidence we all need! btw did they see your damn SI spread? Come 'on now." Another one read, "Imagine telling one of the most beautiful women in existence that she's somehow not doing it right. honestly, imagine telling any woman that. this is why we can't have nice things."
