Michelle Trachtenberg has responded to ‘haters’ who voiced worry about her appearance and health.
The 38-year-old Buffy The Vampire Slayer actress, who rose to prominence as a child actor in Harriet The Spy and Meego before becoming a great success as Dawn Summers in Buffy, replied after becoming bored of her fans remarking on her changing appearance over the years.
On Friday, a few days after the replies first started, she wrote alongside a new selfie: ‘Fun fact. This is my face. Not malnutrition no problems. Why do you have [to] hate? Get a calendar.’
Michelle uploaded a photo of herself getting her hair done at a Beverly Hills salon last week, but some of her fans did not respond as she had hoped.
Fan @catchy_critz replied on Instagram: ‘Michelle [you] look sick. [Are you] ok?’
She hit back: ‘@cathy_critz explain to me how I look sick. Did you lose a calendar and not realize I’m not 14? I’m 38. How sad for you to leave such a comment.’
The next day, the actress tweeted a separate photo of her newly coloured pink tipped haircut, with a bold statement.
She wrote: ‘I’ve received several comments recently about my appearance. I have never had plastic surgery. I am happy and healthy. Check yourself haters.’
However, when she published additional photographs, admirers argued that they were more concerned with the star’s ‘thinning hair and eyes’ than with plastic surgery or starvation.
‘I really don’t think anyone was implying you had plastic surgery. We are generally concerned about you. Your eyes are yellow, your hair is [thinning] majorly, you look sick,’ wrote fan @heather_mcgillick.
‘Nobody is talking about plastic surgery. They are talking about your liver shutting down,’ added @efm850916, while @go.lden7541 said: ‘People are just worried that your eyes are yellow and all your hair is falling out. I think they are worried for your health.’
Others have since come to her defence, and urged people to ‘stop’ commenting on the star’s appearance.
