Impact Wrestling star Deonna Purrazzo has hit back at creepy “fat shaming” fans with a sizzling bikini pic.
The 27-year-old former two-time Impact Knockouts champion, who recently held the Ring of Honor women's championship, was subjected to abuse when she posted a selfie on Twitter.
The sultry image featured her posing while walking upstairs, wearing a revealing black outfit.
This prompted one strange Twitter used to tweet: “Deonna is getting really fat.”
But the former WWE NXT star hit back at the comment.
She tweeted a picture of herself in a grey and bikini, on a beach and wrote:” Yeah… she's soooooooooo fat”.
She ended her tweet with an eye-rolling emoji.
This prompted an out-pouring of support for Deonna, who has had to deal with many comments like that in the past.
British wrestler Zoe Lucas wrote: “This guys a d**k, you are beautiful.”
And TV host and wrestling interviewer Denise Salcedo tweeted: “I am sorry but people are ridiculous.
“Whoever says this about you would be jumping for joy if you even looked their way.
“You are gorgeous and you inspire lots of people – including myself!”
Last year, a fan attacked her for her looks on Instagram, too.

The user wrote, in response to another bikini beach photo: “You are such a beautiful woman, however you need to take pounds off around your stomach and hips.”
She hit back: “You need to go f**k yourself.”
Purrazzo, who goes under the nickname of the Virtuosa, has been a mainstay of Impact Wrestling since rejoining the company in 2020.

She originally won the Knockouts title in July, 2020, holding it for 98 days.
Having lost it in October, she regained it a month later and held it for 343 days.
Combined, her two title reigns put her second on the all-time combined reigns list, around 270 days behind the legendary Gail Kim who had seven reigns.
Deonna, who is in a relationship with fellow Impact star Steve Maclin, is known as one of the most proficient in-ring technical female wrestlers.
She did spend six years in WWE, appearing mainly on the NXT brand.

She was never called up to the main roster, and reports at the time stated it was because WWE's creative team did not think she was ready to be on television – but her run in Impact Wrestling has disproved that theory.
Until recently, she was a double champion, holding the the AAA Riena de Reinas title and the Ring of Honor women's title at the same time.
