Make no mistake, Johnny Weir will put Internet bullies in their rightful place!
The former Olympic figure skater hit back at one particularly rude and offensive follower (who made fun of his outfit) by calling him out on Instagram in a major way.

The 32-year-old slammed his hater by posting a collage of the outfit in question with the bully’s comment written in big letters across.
Instead of feeling belittled by the comment, Johnny said it actually gives him strength and motivation:
This message was sent to me today. I don’t feature being called a “faggot”. This has to stop, this jealousy and hatred from within my own community is stunting our growth. I wear the clothes that I like and clothes that entertain which is my job. At home, I am not this person├ó┬¼ΓÇá├»┬╕┬Å. I can wear whatever I want because I can. If you aren’t interested in me stop following me. I work on television, fly around the world all year to different events. What do you do Gary? I gain strength from these messages. Be smart and stronger people. Nothing matters but YOU. #armyof1A photo posted by ├óΓé¼┬óJOHNNY WEIR├óΓé¼┬ó (@johnnygweir) on Aug 13, 2016 at 6:01pm PDT
Hell yeah!
What an empowering message, and we’re so glad Johnny stood up for himself against such a cruel and unnecessary attack.
He’s an awesome role model!
