The demand stopped the actress and singer in her tracks, but she was ready with an answer.
“Oh my God, you’d never say that to a man, my friend,” she said, adding, “Don’t be a d**k, otherwise I’ll move off.”

Her response drew plenty of praise online, with one person saying they hoped their daughter “would respond the exact same way” if ever placed in a similar situation.
“I love her. She is all class,” said another.
