"Guys for real. Bluntly asking things like 'what's wrong with you?' Or making on the spot diagnoses or conclusions," one user commented on an additional selfie, which Michelle shared Jan. 19. "If she's dealing with something, she's dealing. We're not family or friends. We're fans. Calm down. Don't be rude."
Michelle meanwhile shared a another selfie.
"Fun fact. This is my face," she captioned the post. "Not malnutrition no problems. Why do you have you hate? Get a calendar."
