Christie Brinkley hit back at the “wrinkle brigade” after one of her Instagram posts was flooded with critiques about her looks.
“Whoa Nelly ! The Wrinkle Brigade is out in full force in the comment thread!” the supermodel wrote in an updated caption alongside a selfie of her driving through New York City Wednesday.
“They are the people that scan celebrities pages, hoping to find some cellulite , wrinkles , or anything that they can point to to to [sic] critique. It must be somd [sic] form of compensation for some thing they are lacking,” the 69-year-old added.
Brinkley’s original caption said “Downtown Girl” before she added her frustration with commenters’ unkind words, like “she’s ruined her looks” and “too much filler and Botox.”

“One of the reasons Christie has been & always will be one of the world’s most iconic beauties is [because] she leads with kindness,” another commenter wrote. “It’s her biggest beauty *secret*. And it’s free. You’re never too young to start this particular beauty regimen.

So many young girls and women are suffering from depression and low self esteem trying to attain a standard of beauty that only exists through the use of filters.”
Looking ahead to her 70th birthday next year, Brinkley said she has been “shocked” that she doesn’t feel her age.
