“As if” Alicia Silverstone was going to let body-shamers get away with criticizing her weight.
Silverstone took to TikTok on Tuesday in response to an image being circulated of her in a navy blue sundress captioned: “Alicia Silverstone Candid Fat Photo.
In the 7-second video now racking up over 4 million views, the smiling “Clueless” actress shows the photo, points to its caption and then gives it the middle finger as the viral song “abcdfu” by Gayle plays in the background.
“Damn. I think I look good 😂🤷🏼♀️ #abcdefu,” Silverstone, 45, added in the caption.
And her loyal followers couldn’t agree more.
” ‘Alicia Silverstone looking healthy and NORMAL’ there. fixed it for them,” wrote one supporter in the comments.
“Wow as if!!! you look totally fresh,” added another.
This isn’t the first time Silverstone has dealt with comments regarding her weight.
The actress’ first run-in with body-shamers was over two decades ago when she was doing press for her role as Batgirl in 1997’s “Batman and Robin.” The then-20-year-old says paparazzi and tabloids nicknamed her “Fatgirl.”
In fact, in one Entertainment Weekly column in 1996, they even compared Silverstone’s body to Babe the Pig in a piece titled: “A Weighty Issue.”
One TikTok user, @foreversymone, made a video speaking about the body-image issues Silverstone faced over her “Batman” role, prompting another Tik Tok reaction video from the actress.
In a 2020 interview with the Guardian, she reflected on the scrutiny she faced regarding her body during her early years in the entertainment industry.
“They would make fun of my body when I was younger. It was hurtful, but I knew they were wrong. I wasn’t confused,” she said. “I knew that it was not right to make fun of someone’s body shape. That doesn’t seem like the right thing to be doing to a human.”
