Amy Schumer just shut it down on Instagram. But this time it wasn’t for her groundbreaking comedy.

The actress addressed social media trolls that have a problem with her being cast as the lead in the upcoming movie, Barbie. Schumer is also writing the film.

After posting a photo to her Instagram account in her swimsuit, the comedian added a thoughtful, strong message for everyone who is shaming her size for “not fitting” the role.

This woman is not going to let society decide what is and is not the perfect body. More power to you!
