... aka, how to shut down a bitchy comment, and stop random meanness in its tracks

Show off your good snide

In 2023, Hailey Bieber limited the comments on her Insta post after fans of Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez trolled her for a video of Bieber's where she allegedly mocked Swift.

Play dumb. “I didn’t catch that. What did you say?” It buys time. Gives the other person a chance to backtrack. The best way to offend your offender is to not acknowledge their offence. A good hack: Reword what they said and say or text it back to them so they can see their rudeness too. “Wait, did youmean to call me fat?”
