Actress Gabourey Sibide wore a cream-colored, shimmering gown to the Golden Globes Sunday night and apparently, there weren’t too many fans on Twitter who approved of her look.

Several people slammed her appearance on the social media site and spewed nasty comments at her expense.

But the Academy-Award-nominated Precious star, who is currently appearing on FX’s American Horror Story, had a few choice words to say in response.

In a tweet she posted Monday morning, Sibide wrote:

“To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night. #JK”

Sidibe has never been shy about addressing her weight issues. At a 2012 Women in Entertainment symposium she spoke candidly about the challenges she faces.

“I didn’t really get to grow up hearing that I was beautiful a lot, or that I was worth anything nor did I grow up seeing myself on TV. Then at some point when I was 21 or 22 I just decided that life wasn’t worth living if I wasn’t happy with myself so I just took all the steps that I could to figure out how to love myself and become confident. Truthfully speaking if I hadn’t found this person before that movie [Precious] I wouldn’t have even been in that movie.”

Still she admitted to getting “shaken a lot, especially being in this business.”
