I Survived a Celebrity Clapback

When people look back at 2018, they'll most likely remember it fondly as the year celebrities officially stopped taking other people's B.S. The clapback, or when a hater on the internet gets swiftly shut down, has really thrived this year—but you already know that, since you follow Chrissy Teigen and Khloé Kardashian on social media.

Earlier this year, she posted an Instagram critiquing Blake Lively's outfit choice du jour, writing, "It's suit number 1,356 for Blake Lively's promotion of 'A Simple Favor'. This time custom pink Ralph Lauren Collection." Blake promptly chided Kallon with the following clapback: "Would you note a man wearing lots of suits during a promo tour? So why can't a woman? Just sayinnnn. No double standards ladies."
