Repeat troll-assassin Amy Schumer has once again shut down her haters for body shaming. 

The actress posted a picture to Instagram on Monday of herself from her Hawaii vacation wading through the ocean in a one-piece bathing suit -- she captioned it "BFG" (big friendly giant). But before long (and unsurprisingly) people began posting negative comments about the picture, criticizing her appearance.

So Schumer, who has never taken online bullying about her weight lightly -- she recently spoke out against the label plus-size -- edited the picture's caption with a pointed and ass-kicking message to her trolls. 


"This is how I look," Schumer wrote. "I feel happy. I think I look strong and healthy and also like Miss Trunchbull from Matilda." 

Following her message of body positivity, Schumer's fans began to flood her post with comments of admiration and support.
