Sigh. Sometimes people really are the worst.
Zendaya is on the defensive after online trolls have taken to making disparaging comments about her parents' looks. The bullying comes after a Twitter user posted a photo of the young actress posing with her parents, Kazembe and Claire, while cracking a joke about how they looked.
Here's the original mean-spirited post. Prepare to feel outraged.

After other commenters piled on the hate, Zendaya decided to speak up with a post of her own. She also shared a family photo, and praised her "beautiful family."

Good on you, girl. And, props for ending the post on a gracious note. Mom and Dad must be proud.
