TV reporter claps back at 'troll' who suggested she remove her mole: 'It's crazy'

An American TV reporter is embracing her natural beauty.

On Tuesday, WXYZ Detroit general assignment reporter Alex Bozarjian took to Twitter to share an unwarranted comment someone direct messaged her.

In the screenshot, the person commented on Bozarjian's appearance, suggesting she should make a change to her face.

"Hi Alex, you're a very good reporter, also a beautiful young lady," the person began in their message. "My suggestion, get the mole on your upper lip removed. [It's] not like a Cindy Crawford mole, [but] looks like you have a scab, herpes. I'm sorry, but I'm very honest."

In her reply, the Salem, Mass.-raised reporter kept things professional, but wasn't letting the "troll" get away without a check.

"It's crazy you think your opinion of my physical appearance matters to me at all? As someone who doesn't have a picture of themselves on their profile, I wouldn't go throwing stones," she clapped back. "My mole is friggin' beautiful. Have a wonderful day."

The broadcast journalist remained firm in her tweet — which has now been viewed more than 350,000 times — saying, "Nope, not today, babes."

Fellow TV reporter and KSDK anchor Sydney Stallworth in St. Louis, Mo. replied with a couple selfies, along with an inspiring note where she related to Bozarjian.

"You look gorgeous! As a fellow journalist with a facial mole, I can totally relate to the unsolicited comments," Stallworth replied, alongside an eye-rolling emoji. "I used to hate my mole growing up, but it makes me, me!"

KSHB 41 journalist Abby Dodge in Kansas City, Mo. also related to Bozarjian's tweet with her own selfie.

"Newsies with moles unite! They are an extra kiss of beauty we get to wear every day!" Dodge tweeted, where Bozarjian replied with another selfie saying, "Yes, ma'am!!"

Dozens of other Twitter users shared in Bozarjian's disgust in their replies to her tweet, with many adding that her reply was on point.

"You handled that troll perfectly," replied Detroit Free Press photo and video journalist Eric Seals.

"It's a shame that people are so comfortable 'expressing their opinions' concerning other people without regard for how the other people feel. What happened to, 'If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all'? For the record, the mole makes you, you," someone shared.

"I also have a face mole and can feel self conscious because of comments like this! But screw 'em, face moles are beautiful!" added Detroit Free Press reporter Lily Altavena.

"These are the worst," penned CBS Sports TV host Katie Mox. "We do not care about what you think of our appearance."
