Donna Mills Took the High Road When Responding to A Social Media Troll
After many years in the public eye, actress Donna Mills knew exactly how to respond to a social media troll. She delivered a confident, no-nonsense answer that quickly earned praise from fans.
In a video clip, Mills shared her thoughts about a social media follower who wrote, “You wear too much makeup for your age.” She shared a response video and commentary in the clip’s caption, which read, “I said what I said.”
She said in the video, “Did you want me to look like this?” She concluded, “Sorry, not sorry. I like the way I look. This is my style, and style doesn’t have an expiration date.”
The actress, who was one of the most beloved stars of the 1980s for her role on “Knots Landing,” became known for her captivating screen presence and unforgettable performances. Today, she continues to command attention with the same confidence and poise that made her a household name.
In the clip, the actress transformed from her glamorous everyday look to a woman who appeared much older, with grey hair, small wire-rimmed glasses, a high-necked blouse, and jeans. She appeared nothing like her everyday, glamorous self.
Mills added, “Keyboard warrior. Love that.”
