Rihanna publically blasted a writer from The Daily Mail on Tuesday, who recently criticized her as being a bad role model.

The Daily Mail writer, Liz Jones, criticized Rihanna in an editorial Monday, saying that she is a bad influence on young girls.

"Of course, these little girls don't [realize] there is anything wrong with what they are doing - they just want to copy the chart-topping star," Jones wrote. "But if only she could be a better role model for young women."

In response, Rihanna posted a photo of Jones on Instagram along with a lengthy paragraph replying to the editorial.

"LOL!!!! My money got a bad habit of pissing people off!!" the Diamonds singer wrote, "If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here's a toxic tip: don't be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! What's all this about hair and nails and costumes and tattoos?? ....That s--- ain't clever!!! That s--- ain't journalism! That's a sad sloppy menopausal mess!!!"

Rihanna has over eight million followers on Instagram and over 169,000 liked the post. The singer continued:

"I don't know why y'all still act so surprised by any of it!! 'Role Model' is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat! I got my own f---ed up shit to work on, I'll never portray that as perfect, but for right now it's ME!! Call it what ya want!! Toxic was cute, Poisonous Pop Princess had a nice ring to it, just a lil wordy!"

Since the post, Rihanna tweeted lyrics by Bob Marley that reflected her thoughts, including, "Don't let them change ya, or even rearrange ya!! We've got a life to live! They say only the fittest of the fittest shall survive! Stay alive!"

Neither Jones nor The Daily Mail has commented on Rihanna's post.
