This is so inspiring!!
We are sick and tired of internet bullying, and we’ve seen it far too often recently — with Leslie Jones, with Gabby Douglas, even with Justin Bieber.
And now, we just found a possible solution to it from filmmaker Kevin Smith and his daughter Harley Quinn Smith!

The 17-year-old, who is starring in her dad’s latest comedy Yoga Hosers alongside Johnny Depp‘s daughter Lily-Rose, has been taking quite a bit of abuse on Instagram from deranged fans lately.
But her dad, who’s no stranger to off-color humor and witty banter, wasn’t feeling it at ALL — so he lashed out at one particular IG troll on her feed!
And the Clerks director did it with such eloquence and class!
First he shared a screenshot of a nasty NSFW comment made by a user with the handle kingpsysyphus, who wrote to the teen:
“You’re ugly as sh*t. And that steaming horse sh*t of a movie, yoga hosers, should be banned. F*ck your talentless c*nt of a father trying to compare it with the matrix. You’re cancer and I sincerely hope you end up like Lindsay Lohan and dead.”
Disgusting.
Smith posted the pic to his own account and delivered a VERY strong message with the caption:
“What it’s like to be my daughter: 17 year old @harleyquinnsmith_received this message simply for the heinous crime of posting a pic of herself on @instagram. I have zero clue what the reference to #TheMatrix is all about but, wow – way to unload on a teen girl because YOU have nothing to do in life. But even though I should be apoplectic about it, my kid thought it was funny. “I’d be mad if I had a tiny dick and anonymous voice too,” she said, bemused by the bitterness.”
LOLz!!
But wait! It gets SO much better!

Instead of popping off on an insult fest, Smith re-focused into creating something good from the ugly situation, and offered some very solid advice (below):
“But here’s a nickel’s worth of free advice for folks like this Troll: if you hate me (or my kid) this much, the better use of your time is to make YOUR dreams come true, instead of slamming others for doing the same. The best revenge is living insanely well – so if you wanna get back at a 17 year old girl for the grievous crime of enjoying her life, the best way to do it is to succeed in your OWN existence. Show the world WHY we should be paying attention to you instead of anyone else. Because randomly attacking others merely communicates how creatively and emotionally bankrupt you are. You think you have something to offer the world but others are getting all the attention? Don’t bitch or punish the world: just create. Create something nobody’s ever seen before and there is a good chance the world will notice you. Attacking teen girls on the Internet is the saddest form of masturbation that exists and requires no discernible skill or talent. You want attention? Don’t make yourself mad, make something original and fun. Because if you’re not being useful in this world you’re being useless. Don’t be useless: go make stuff that makes people happy!”
WOW!!!
Ch-ch-check out the post in full with the screenshot of the nasty comment that inspired all of this included (below):
GET ‘EM, KEVIN!!!
It’s one thing not to like a movie, or not be interested in seeing the work of a particular actor — fine, whatever. But to say horrible things wishing for the actress to be dead?!
Good for this famous father for stepping up to defend his daughter without hesitation!!!
