Rumer Willis‘ summertime fun doesn’t include entertaining body shamers!

Fans seemed to think the 32-year-old looked too thin, commenting:
“she looks at the edge of unhealthy.

“Your face even looks different.”

The influx of critique and concern led to Demi Moore’s daughter addressing the issue on her IG Story. Alongside another pic from the same shoot, she wrote:
“I know I don’t need to do this but in [an] effort to spread some awareness and shed some light on body shaming tactics i felt the need to share. 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. But regardless 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. For reference this is another angle and you can see what I actually look like.”
The House Bunny star added:
“Also just to give clarity 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 snd [sic] 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 if they would like support instead of posting inflammatory public comments.”
