The 69-year-old model shared a statement blasting critics that share rude comments on her social media posts that feature candid photos of herself.
"Downtown Girl …Update: Whoa Nelly ! The Wrinkle Brigade is out in full force in the comment thread!" she began in the caption of a post shared to her Instagram grid on Wednesday, June 28.
"They are the people that scan celebrities pages, hoping to find some cellulite , wrinkles , or anything that they can point [to] critique," she said. "It must be [some] form of compensation for some thing [sic] they are lacking."
Though she turned the comments off for this particular post, she did include a shout-out to those who previously stuck up for her and battled it out with the naysayers in the comments. "But when those people appear, there are others who pop up with messages so kind and valuable. Those are the comments that restore my faith and make my heart sing! Thank you sweet souls."
