Since posting, Martin's tweet has received more than 121,000 likes and over 13,000 retweets.

Following the tone of her tweet, the 15-year-old actress also posted an Instagram video addressing the trolls who picked on her looks. She began the video by saying, \"So I was on Twitter, and a lot of people have been addressing my hair, or talking about my hair and how it looks like a grandma's wig,\" she said in a sentimental tone.

Martin continued on, \"They're talking about my veneers,\" she said as she pulled a clear tray from her teeth. \"This don't look like a veneer to me.\"

She went on to say, \"I'm sorry to anyone that I offended or haven't gotten to your expectations about how I'm supposed to be, and I apologize, and I never want to hurt anyone's feelings or have anyone worried about what my decisions are.\"

Later in the clip, she breaks her apologetic character by blowing her nose with a $100 bill.

Martin finished her video with, \"Y'all we are in quarantine, and we got more things to focus on then just my hair. Justice for Breonna Taylor.\"
