Body-shamers just never learn. There are countless examples out there of celebrities and non-celebs alike shutting down their social media harassers with excellent comebacks. And yet, one troll still had the bright idea to make fun of Busy Philipps’ body on Tuesday (August 21).

Here’s how it all went down: On Tuesday morning, the actress uploaded a photo of herself in workout gear on a trampoline for a good cause. “Today is #TheAwesomeChallenge and my workout every morning makes me feel awesome (even on the days when I’d rather stay in bed, like today) For every post using #TheAwesomeChallenge @RocketsofAwesome will donate back-to-school clothing to a @Baby2Baby child in need. Let’s do this! TAG 3 FRIENDS!” she wrote in the caption, before tagging Jen Gotch, Tess Holliday, Kelly Oxford, Sophia Bush, and Michelle Monaghan.

Rather than following instructions and doing the “Awesome Challenge,” however, one Instagram user felt the need to comment on Philipps’ body instead. “Ughhhh, you’re rolls are showing,” he wrote, as captured by the ever-vigilant @commentsbycelebs. Big mistake. Huge. The troll soon found himself on the receiving end of a scorched-earth grammar lesson, courtesy of Philipps herself.

“I feel like a man of your age should know the difference between YOUR and YOU’RE,” Philipps wrote, according to @commentsbycelebs. “YOUR is POSSESSIVE, as in ‘YOUR rolls are showing.’ (Get it? The rolls BELONG to me.) YOU’RE is an abbreviation for YOU ARE, as in YOU’RE CLEARLY AN A**HOLE BODYSHAMING LOSER. ✌️”

It goes without saying that body-shaming is never OK. But in this case, especially, this person really, really should’ve known better. Not only does Philipps have a documented history of live-outing creeps on social media, but she’s taken on body-shamers before.

“You know how when you’re a woman, sometimes people feel like they should be able to comment about your body all the time or make laws about your body?” she said on Instagram stories back in November, according to People. “Well when you’re an actress, or any female in the public eye, everyone feels that they can comment on your body all the f*cking time. Always. The amount of people in my long, 20-year career in this industry who’ve come up to me in grocery stores and Bed Bath and Beyonds to talk with people about my weight…I think it’s a good thing to err on the side of ‘Let’s not talk to people about their bodies unless they bring it up first and they want to talk about their bodies.'”

Agreed. There are better things to do…like brushing up on your grammar.
