Following Zendaya [1]'s flawless red carpet appearance [2] and incredibly inspiring acceptance speech [3] at the Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday night, she was met with a series of tweets from Difficult People actress Julie Klausner that harshly criticized her weight. The K.C. Undercover actress has proved time and time again that she's wise beyond her 19 years, speaking out on issues like Giuliana Rancic's comments [4] on the dreadlocks she wore to the Oscars and how photoshopping is not OK [5]. Her response to Julie was no exception.

After Julie referred to Zendaya as a "thinspo model for your impressionable tweens" and made jokes about her having an eating disorder, the teen star asked the comedian if she found her comments funny and perfectly countered with an uplifting tweet of her own. "Now....everyone go look in the mirror at their beautiful body, and love that sh*t 😘 #thickgirlswinning #skinnygirlswinning #weallwinning." Keep reading to see their heated exchange, and check out all of Zendaya's gorgeous Instagram snaps [6]!
