WWE superstar Alexa Bliss has blasted a body shaming troll on social media and opened up about her recent weight loss issues.
The former women’s champion, now portraying a very spooky character on screen, has been open in the past about getting breast implants to recover from eating disorders which almost killed her as a teen.
She bravely overcame those struggles to become one of WWE’s most popular stars.
However, one fan still tried to body shame her this week as they shared photos of her backside from her NXT tenure, comparing them to how she looks now.
The troll tweeted: ‘Remember last week when all of you Alexa Bliss MARY Sues said that this was just a blur effect and Alexa’s ass was back?
‘Well take a look at NXT Bliss and WWE Bliss and then at the edited photo Alexa posted and then the picture she posted today and try to say that again. (sic)’
Little Miss Bliss spotted the tweet and fired back, admitting she ‘pities’ the online bully.
She wrote: ‘#1. how F’Ing DARE you try to body shame me. #2. All pics except last one are very old.
‘#3 I haven’t been able to control my weight loss lately since being sick a few months ago. #4 all u have to say about my career since 2013 is pics of my butt? I pity u. (sic)’
Speaking previously in a WWE Network 365 documentary, Alexa revealed the extent of her eating disorder.
She said: ‘I’ve had implants since I was 17, we’re just going to throw that out there. When I had my eating disorder I got down to 85lbs.

‘My doctor told my mom, “If she doesn’t get admitted she will die”. They treated my health symptoms, they didn’t treat the mental side of it.
‘The second time I was hospitalised they treated it like a mental disorder and a mental illness and that’s when it actually started getting better.
‘So, I was very self-conscious about my body and the fact that I felt like a seven-year-old boy.
‘There are studies that show it [implants] helps women recover from eating disorders because they feel more womanly and they feel better about their bodies and better about their self-image.’
