Daisy Ridley, known for her role as Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, took to Instagram yesterday after receiving hateful comments from an Instagram user. The Instagram user condemned her for setting “unrealistic expectations” by appearing too thin.
The user posted to their own account a meme of Daisy’s character Rey captioned “I can’t believe the unrealistic expectations I’m setting for young girls. Who cast me anyways? Don’t they know real women have curves?”

However, after an influx of hateful comments from her fans directed at her criticizer, she took the image down and posted this instead, captioned “Guys it was not my intention for anyone to send messages to that poor person that posted the original picture,” she wrote. “My whole post Is about being kind to each other, so please refrain!”:
