The person was not the only one to express concern over Trachtenberg's appearance. A day later, after she posted a new selfie showing herself sporting a new ombré hairstyle, a few more users shared similar thoughts.
After posting another pic later that day, Trachtenberg wrote, "I've received several comments recently about my appearance. I have never had plastic surgery I am happy and healthy. Check yourself haters."
Many fans continued to urge the "EuroTrip" star to get herself checked out, while others defended the actress.
"Guys for real. Bluntly asking things like 'what's wrong with you?' Or making on the spot diagnoses or conclusions," one user commented on an additional selfie, which Trachtenberg shared Jan. 19. "If she's dealing with something, she's dealing. We're not family or friends. We're fans. Calm down. Don't be rude."
Trachtenberg, meanwhile, shared another selfie.
"Fun fact. This is my face," she captioned the post. "Not malnutrition no problems. Why do you have you hate? Get a calendar."
