Kids really do say the darndest things. But sometimes, they’re absolutely right in their assessment of a situation. A 6-year-old girl on Instagram, had a strong message for a classmate who tried to make her feel bad about her body: She wasn’t going to take it!
It’s refreshing to see a young girl stand up for herself against those who tried to fat-shame her. So often, young women are made to feel bad about their weight, but this little one is showing that she will stand up to the haters. She’s a little icon!

The girl didn't mince words.
Miya Hayes, a 6-year-old from Tennessee, had a few words for Jessica, a classmate who had opinions to share.
“Let me all tell ya’ll something — don’t talk about people,” Hayes said in an Instagram video. “People is perfect the way they are.” That’s when she called her shamer out by name. “And I’m talking about you, Jessica!” she exclaimed, waving her finger into the camera.
Miya has some big feelings about Jessica.
“Jessica is mean,” the little girl told Today.com in a phone interview. Her mom, Chrisshay Clack, told the outlet that her daughter was “born confident.”
“Miya speaks her mind. She knows who she is and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about her,” Clack said.

Everyone immediately took Miya's side.
The comments on Clack’s post are full of people who are ready to ride for her little girl.
One person wrote, “And on this faithful day, Jessica made 100k new enemies she never knew she had.”
Another commented, “Jessica to the principals office pluh-eazeee!”
“I’m mad at Jessica and I don’t even know why,” someone else confessed.
“She said what she said JESSICA!!!” a commenter exclaimed.
Another comment reads, “😂😂😂😂😂 our niece said she’s not playing Jessicaaaa 😂❤️.”
Someone pointed out, “Jessica been real quiet since this video dropped.”
And still another person wrote, “I feel lke Miya’s beef w jessica is going to hit Elmo/Rocco status soon.”
The girl wasn't finished with the haters yet.
Clack shared another reel of Miya telling her about her school day. Another girl — presumably Jessica — had called her fat.
“Really? But remember, we don’t care about what other people say, OK?” Clack reminds her daughter. But the Miya doesn’t want to hear it.
“And I said, ‘Yo mama!’” she proudly shares. That’s when Clack started laughing. “No! You don’t talk about nobody’s mama,” she admonished. But she knows that she did what she had to.
“Then her mama came and picked her up and her mama really was fat!” she said with a flourish before whispering under her breath, “At least I didn’t lie though.”
It's clear Miya knows what's up.
“This little girl handles her situation with facts 😂😂😂 I’m on her side,” one comment reads.
“Miya was prophesying and then God confirmed it,” another person wrote. “I stand with Miya!”
Someone else commented: “The smile about her mama was sinister 😭😂 Kids honesty be the best 🤣.”
Another person exclaimed: “I’m OBSESSEDDDDD!!! Give this child her own damn reality show please.”
Miya told Today.com that she wants to be an actor when she grows up. “I’m gonna be a superstar,” she said.
There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that she will be.
