Aubrey O'Day has clapped back at the paparazzi, and promoted a message of body positivity to boot.

On August 31, The Daily Mail published a slew of photos of a woman they identified as O'Day, alongside the headline: 'Aubrey O'Day Looks Unrecognizable as She Emerges for a Stroll With Her Dogs After Promoting Diet App With Filtered Snap on Instagram'.

Now, she has taken to Twitter (September 1) to post a photo of herself wearing a black swimsuit while holding a piece of paper that featured the date and time, her name, and the words "this is degrading" on it.

"It's so sick what ppl will do for click bait!" the Danity Kane star wrote alongside the photo. "And that my lawyer needed this photo to defend me against it.. When is this industry going to stop abusing women's bodies! Sorry my place is a mess, currently remodeling my glam room—I'm sure it'll be written that I'm a hoarder next! [sic]"
