Pink may be known for her tough girl persona, but even the rock chick doesn't take well to being bullied.

The 35-year-old Try singer took a stand against body shamers who criticized her on her weight on Twitter last month and defended herself at the BMI Pop Awards when asked about the situation on May 12.

"I don't take well to bullying. I never have. I'm not a person that will be bullied. I'm not a person that will stand by watching other people bullied," she told Entertainment Tonight.

Pink also hopes to instill this lesson to her daughter, Willow, 3.

"I'm raising a girl. I am a girl. I have feelings. People think I take no s--t and I'm tough, tougher than nails, but I'm a human being," she added.

In response to body-shamers, the singer doesn't understand how people think it's okay to put others down.

"I think people have gotten it wrong. They think their opinion matters and holds weight, and I don't know where or why they're giving themselves so much credit, you know?. So I thought it was important for me to remind them that I don't care. My life is full, I like food a lot, and I really like to cook, I like to live. I find joy in that, and we're doing all right in the Hart household."

Go girl!
