Amber Riley has a lot of questions for all of the body shamers [2] who tend to troll social media platforms — the main one being, "Why?" In an amazing Instagram video [3], the Glee star unleashed all of her frustrations about uncalled-for comments on her body.

Riley started off the video by questioning why her curvy figure has to be a topic of conversation. Riley said, "Why does me being fat offend so many people? Is it because I'm confident and I'm fly and I'm sexy?" She then launched into a series of questions that are, in a word, glorious: "Do my thighs offend? Does my stomach offend? Does my big juicy ass offend? Why?"

Though Riley has lost weight through the years [4], she's always been an advocate for body diversity and self-love [5] and claimed that her previous weight loss was simply an effort to get healthy and not conform to a certain size expectation.

Riley even got some words of encouragement from fellow Glee alum Naya Rivera, who basically tweeted what we all were thinking, "Get it giiiirrrrlll."
