14 Stars Who Stopped Being Polite and Started Getting Real in 2015

It seems Khloé has been handling a lot of haters in the past few months. After Amy Schumer poked fun at the Kardashians in her SNL monologue, Khloé addressed the jokes on Twitter, saying "No need 2 tear down others just 2 make urself feel bigger."

Khloé also faced plenty of scrutiny in the wake of Lamar Odom's tragic hospitalization. When criticized for participating in an interview for her new book during such a sensitive time, Khloé fired off a series of tweets shutting everyone down and setting the record straight.

To some, the fact that Viola Davis quoted Harriet Tubman during her Emmys acceptance speech was a bold move. Take for instance soap opera actress Nancy Lee Grahn, who ranted about the speech in a series of angry tweets. Viola addressed Nancy directly in an interview with The New York Times after the fact. She said, "If there has been any backlash, it’s that all people want to feel included in a speech. I know there has been some backlash with an actress who didn’t feel she was included."

No, we're not just talking about her post-Victoria's Secret Fashion Show comment, in which she said, "Yes, I f*cking sing live." While that was amazing, to be sure, we were more impressed by the way Selena put her body shamers on blast. First, she posted that empowering Instagram declaring her love for herself, then she later talked about it with Ryan Seacrest: "I did gain weight, but I don't care."

Zendaya is the undisputed queen of classy, eloquent comebacks on Twitter. We're still over the moon about her well-thought, beautiful response to Giuliana Rancic after those dreadlocks comments, to be sure. What we might have loved even more, though, was the way she defended her parents against a group of Twitter trolls who were making fun of their appearance.

Most recently, Chrissy Teigen bit back at the haters who criticized her pregnant cravings for sugary cereal. It's far from the first time she's had to push back, though. Chrissy consistently toes the line — like the time she joked about never hiring a hot nanny — and she'll always take on the trolls who call her out.

Demi consistently tries to empower and inspire her fans with her positivity, confidence, and love, but we're going to focus more on the way she refused to take Pink's criticism lying down. When Pink made negative comments about the performances at this year's VMAs, Demi was quick to fire back.

Gigi Hadid has been on fire this year, but that doesn't mean she hasn't faced demons of her own. It seems the model has been under a ton of scrutiny in the fashion industry this year, but she shut all of it down in a body-positive post on Instagram.

Jennifer Lawrence surprised everyone when she penned a thoughtful essay on the gender wage gap and how prevalent it is in Hollywood. It placed her in the ranks with a ton of other empowering feminist celebrities and made us love her that much more. She even talked about how her Hunger Games character inspired her to speak up.

We already knew Amandla Stenberg was one of the handful of smart, thoughtful celebrity teenagers in Hollywood, but she really made us think when she challenged Kylie Jenner's cultural appropriation. While Amandla received a pointed comeback from Kylie, the fact that she made her feelings known speaks volumes.

Not only did Cara Delevingne take on Vogue for suggesting her bisexuality could be a phase, but she also refused to apologize for her cringeworthy interview with Good Day Sacramento. She said, "Some people just don't understand sarcasm or the British sense of humour."
