00:02 Michelle Trachtenberg clapping back at trolls
00:07 commenting on her appearance.
00:09 I found them on that thing called the Instagram.
00:13 The actress coming to her own defense on the app
00:16 after several selfies had commenters
00:18 speculating about her health,
00:21 including this pic with Spy Kids star Alexa Pennevega
00:24 at the hair salon.
00:26 One user commenting, "Michelle, you look sick.
00:29 Are you okay?"
00:31 With Michelle clapping back,
00:33 "Explain to me how I look sick.
00:35 Did you lose a calendar and not realize I'm not 14, I'm 38?
00:40 How sad for you to leave such a comment."
00:43 We are just working with the facts.
00:46 The Gossip Girl alum following up with more selfies
00:49 showing off her new pink tips,
00:51 writing, "I've received several comments recently
00:54 about my appearance.
00:55 I have never had plastic surgery.
00:58 I am happy and healthy.
01:00 Check yourself, haters."
01:02 Adding, "Whip your hair like you just don't care."
01:06 And this last message, "Fun fact, this is my face.
01:10 Not malnutrition, no problems.
01:12 Why do you have you hate?
01:14 Get a calendar."
01:16 - I've been a Writers Guild member
01:19 since I was in my early 20s
01:23 and obviously acting since before I was three years old.
01:27 Basically, I'm nine, 17, 1812 years old.
01:32 - Michelle's never been shy about speaking her mind
01:35 and standing up against bullies,
01:37 something she hit head on while promoting 2009's "17 Again."
01:42 - I would like to go back to high school as an adult
01:47 and maybe one day create a charity
01:50 where I'm an advocate against harassment
01:53 and hazing in schools.
01:55 And I want to sit down with bullies one day and say, "Why?
02:00 What benefit do you have?"
02:01 I think a lot, I was 17 and a lot of being that age
02:06 doesn't, there's no forward thinking.
02:09 There's no thinking of the repercussions of your actions
02:11 and how what you say really can hurt a person.
02:14 So I would like to go back to being,
02:16 to 17 year olds as an adult.
02:19 - Well, fast forward 15 years,
02:21 Michelle's handling the haters the best way she knows how.
