It’s odd that people continue to attack Zendaya given how powerful and eloquent her responses are. The latest critic to bombard the teenage star with woefully ignorant comments is Julie Klausner. The Difficult People actress went on a Twitter rant, slamming Zendaya’s body shape after her appearance at the Kids’ Choice Awards.

You don’t have to have an eating disorder to attend the Kids’ Choice Awards….but it helps!

I will never stop criticizing celebs who perpetuate dangerous beauty standards for a generation of girls who grow up thinking they’re fat.

I’m concerned with the generation of girls who aspire to look like Zendaya. I do not worry about Zendaya’s health or care whether she eats.

Klausner made light of eating disorders, Zendaya’s health and her previous exchange with Giuliana Rancic in a series of cruel comments. But true to form, the 19-year-old star responded with grace and class.

Ultimately, Klausner saw the error in her ways and promised to be more thoughtful going forward.
…I won’t apologize, non-apologize, delete tweets, backpedal or refuse to own my shit. BUT- I will be more thoughtful going forward. /end
