Academy Award-nominated actress Abigail Breslin, known for her role in "Little Miss Sunshine," shut down a social media user who criticized her for wearing a mask. Breslin has publicly stressed the importance of wearing face masks ever since her father died of COVID-19 last year.
After Breslin posted a photo of herself apparently riding The Big Apple Coaster in Las Vegas on Instagram on Monday, a fellow user commented, "Who's the pathetic loser wearing a mask?"
