Jordyn Lyne, 22, boasts more than 670,000 followers on TikTok, where she frequently shares tutorials featuring her favorite cosmetic products.

But the star was recently bombarded with cruel comments from critics after she showed off her natural appearance in a video viewed more than 26 million times.

One user even compared Lyne to Miss Trunchbull — the notoriously unattractive villain from the 1996 children’s movie “Matilda.”However, Lyne is laughing off her haters, describing herself as a “proud catfish” in an interview with Caters News Agency. “Everyone looks different without their makeup on!” the beauty declared. “There would be no point in wearing makeup and spending time getting ready if it didn’t make us look any different.”Lyne — who is transgender — started her TikTok account back in 2020 after she transitioned.
