A viewer told this meteorologist to cover up. She responded with a total smackdown.

A meteorologist in the US recently received a letter from a thoughtful viewer, who was concerned that her outfits fit too ‘snuggly’ under her bust.

This well-mannered viewer also told Julya Johnson, trained meteorologist and weather presenter for WATE 6 News, that they liked everything about her. Except her appearance:

Here it is if you can’t quite read the image:

Hello Julia [sic], You are a great meterologist [sic]!

I am at [sic] elderly person who depends on WATE 6 News for my daily news and weather – my daily beginnings – I watch this news from 2 a.m. – thru [sic] the day.

I observed every one [sic] gets great compliments about their Job [sic], How they give great forecast [sic]. There are not any compliments about you! Why?

Please change your appearance!! Those high Bodice dresses are Not (for) you. Do you Have any dress or dresses that don’t fit snugly under your (Bust)? Please! You are Beautiful – But you need a change. Please don’t feel like I’m putting you down. Allow me to apologize.

This letter is meant for the beautiful lady you are. Go forward (Be happy!)

Sinceerly[sic], a WATE t.v. Friend.

Julya Johnson was not having any of that bullshit. SHE HOLDS THE KEY TO THE WEATHER, DAMN IT.

Johnson responded to this kind viewer’s concerns on her official Facebook page with a smackdown worthy of applause:

So, it’s not fun to wake up to things like this. No return address was left, so I’ll address it here. I will never, ever be able to please everyone with my appearance. It’s not possible. I have tried for 12 years on-air to do that. I have “changed my appearance” to try to please people before. It never works. So, I please myself. I like my dresses. I feel good about my appearance. I am always covered, dressed modestly and professionally. Yet, she mentions that I am a great meteorologist! And she also says I get “no compliments”? Does the fact that I bring an accurate forecast mean nothing? I was a straight A student. If I had known being on People’s list of “best dressed” mattered more than an accurate forecast, I could’ve saved a ton of money on that meteorology degree.

Don’t do this, people. Just don’t. It’s very rude. That’s my opinion, and it is as valuable as anyone else’s opinion.

Thank you.
