âExplain to me how I look sick,â she wrote in January 2024. âDid you lose a calendar and not realize Iâm not 14. Iâm 38. How sad for you to leave such a comment.â
Michelle noted in a separate post that she had come across âseveral commentsâ regarding her looks.
âI have never had plastic surgery I am happy and healthy,â the âEuroTripâ star wrote at the time, telling trolls to âcheckâ themselves before commenting.
Her last upload to the platform was a throwback photo about a red carpet look channeling ânaughty Tinker Bellâ on Feb. 18.
