As usual, Zendaya has no patience for haters.

The star took a random male Twitter user to task Friday for disparaging an aspiring plus-size model's selfies. "Never trust a top half posting ass female," the dude had tweeted, citing a photo in which the woman's body was not visible.

And Zendaya found the offensive tweet, her response was both swift and punishing. "Stumbling across this is stupid shit," she wrote. "She is fine as hell head to toe and garunteed [sic] does't know you exist my man."

Then, to really drive the point home, she asked the woman -- whose Twitter handle is @_illestCee -- to model for her clothing line, Daya by Zendaya.

Turns out, @_illestCee has always dreamed of modeling -- so, obviously, she was thrilled at the offer.

And because Twitter loves to revel in a good own, her well-wishers had a field day.

Beware, trolls. Your bad attitude might land your target the job of her dreams.
