Believing that she does nothing wrong by wearing the tiny hand, the 'Legally Blonde' star tells online troll who claims she shames people with disabilities to 'f**k off.'

AceShowbiz - Selma Blair won't be saying sorry to internet troll. The Liz Sherman of "Hellboy" found herself accused of mocking disabled people after she was caught on camera wearing a tiny fake hand while out and about in Los Angeles. Still, she was quick to defend herself.
Responding to the controversy, the 46-year-old actress wrote a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday, November 29. "This comment from daily mail commenter first made me feel horrible," she began her post. "And then I realized a fully formed perfect tiny hand was not a disability. Unless this person was writing about me. Then no. Never funny."
The "Legally Blonde" actress went on to quote the comment made by a user under the name of NPC121212, "Shaming people with disabilities is NEVER funny. Sick and inappropriate. NEVER funny." To that, she replied, "It is a teeny tiny rubber hand!!!!! F**k off. With Love. Have a laugh. Selma." Seemingly in tune with Selma, one Daily Mail reader wrote back to NPC121212, "Lighten up."
On Wednesday, November 28, Daily Mail made a report over Selma's public outing with her boyfriend, Ron Carlson, whom the publication mistook as David Price. The "Heathers" star also pointed out the mistake in her Instagram post as she stated, "This handsome man is not named David price. @dailymail."
On the same day, Selma also posted an Instagram photo of herself holding the tiny fake hand to her closed mouth. Along with the snap, she wrote an amusing caption, "Waiting to give my son a hand after school."
Just days earlier, "The Sweetest Thing" actress lamented over her life after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. "I have been grieving recently. For the things I took for granted," she shared her woes after trying to do cartwheel with her 7-year-old. "But it was a turning point. Part of the grim realization (sic). Is this just #ms or is this still an exacerbation? Five months and still same way. Or is this my new normal? And then more gets taken away."
