Christie Brinkley is clapping back at the online trolls.
The supermodel showcased her glamorous makeup look and vibrant blue outfit in a June 28 Instagram. However, not everyone was a fan of the 69-year-old’s selfie, which prompted her to update her original caption of “Downtown Girl” to call out the trolls flooding her feed.
“Whoa Nelly!” Christie wrote. “The Wrinkle Brigade is out in full force in the comment thread! They are the people that scan celebrities’ pages, hoping to find some cellulite, wrinkles, or anything that they can point to critique.”
She went on to explain that the people leaving mean messages might be projecting their own insecurities onto her, noting, ”It must be somd [sic] form of compensation for something they are lacking.”
Despite addressing the rude comments, Christie clarified that they didn’t outweigh the positive feedback she received.
“There are others who pop up with messages so kind and valuable,” she continued. “Those are the comments that restore my faith and make my heart sing! Thank you sweet souls.”
