Good Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee is clapping back after an internet troll took a dig at her looks.
It all started on Tuesday, March 11, when Zee, 44, posted a weather report via Instagram. When a troll commented, “You’re not aging well,” Zee was quick to snap back. “What a privilege to be aging in any manner — thanks for your opinion though,” she replied.
Zee then took a screenshot of the exchange and shared it via her Instagram grid and Threads account, writing, “You know you are in a good place when you genuinely believe your response. And I do. What a privilege to be able to be alive. No matter how you perceive my aging. I’m proud of it.”
Zee’s followers showed their support in the comments section.

“Classy and perfect and true response Ginger!” wrote NBC correspondent Vicky Nguyen, while another follower added, “My morning anchor friend gets old this BS every day by her viewers. You are beautiful and loved, Ginger! We all age. Even the jerks who can’t be nice.”
Zee has been GMA’s chief meteorologist since 2013. In 2016, she was a contestant on the 22nd season of Dancing With the Stars, ultimately finishing in third place alongside partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy.
She married journalist Ben Aaron in 2014. The couple share sons Adrian, 9, and Miles, 7. Zee has been candid over the years about the challenges of balancing work and motherhood.
“Give yourself grace,” Zee told Us Weekly exclusively in September 2018, sharing her advice for other working mothers. “I think that mom guilt starts from the second the baby is born, so that’s going to happen. It’s OK to feel that and let it wash over you, because it’s going to come anyway.”

Zee regularly shares a glimpse of her family life on social media. In late February, she posted a pic of her computer screen — and the sweet message written for her. It read: “I have the best mom ever.”
“Was having an eh morning,” she captioned the February 26 post. “Got to my computer at home to do some more work and this was on my screen. My first surprise message from Miles. They never use computers at home but yesterday he asked if he could practice typing so I set him up and forgot about it. Mood officially shifted 
one little note can change someone else’s day — never forget that!”
Replying in the comment section, her husband, 43, quipped: “I wrote that.”
