“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” breakout star Daisy Ridley is using kindness to fire back at online body shamers.

In two Instagram posts, Ridley responded to a fan who posted an image of the actress from the blockbuster with a speech bubble saying she set “unrealistic expectations” for other women and that “real women have curves.”

Ridley’s first post said,ย “‘Real women’ are all shapes and sizes, all ethnicities, all levels of brave, have families, don’t have families. I am a ‘real woman’ like every other woman in this world.”

She deleted it, however, as it included the original sender’s Instagram handle and led people to send cruel messages to that person.
