LONDON -- Star Wars: The Force Awakens actress and overall Instagram Queen Daisy Ridley has hit back at a body-shaming meme circulating about her character on social media.
The meme features a picture of Ridley's character Rey, next to a speech bubble that reads: "I can't believe the unrealistic expectations I'm setting for young girls. Who cast me anyway? Don't they know real women have curves?"
In a now deleted post -- which Ridley appears to have taken down after realising the person who posted the meme's username was visible -- Ridley hit back at the image.
"'Real women' are all shapes and sizes, all ethnicities, all levels of brave, have families, don't have families," she wrote beneath the photo. "I am a 'real woman' like every other woman in this world."
Since deleting that post, Ridley has shared the following open letter.
Guys it was not my intention for anyone to send messages to that poor person that posted the original picture. My whole post is about being kind to each other, so please refrain! A photo posted by @daisyridley on Mar 9, 2016 at 1:13pm PST
You go, Daisy.
