*After “K.C. Undercover” star Zendaya accepted the award for Favorite Female TV Star at Saturday’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, one comedian took the opportunity to crack some jokes about her thin size on Twitter.

“You don’t have to have an eating disorder to attend the Kids’ Choice Awards … but it helps,” tweeted Julie Klausner, 37, star of Hulu’s “Difficult People.” It was one of several tweets, or responses to other tweets, that made light of her size:

Zendaya got wind of the comments and tweeted back, “Do you think this is funny? I will write another paragraph to educate you aswell #youreallywannabenext?” (Her first educational paragraph was for Giuliana Rancic, after the “Fashion Police” host made a joke about her braids.)

Klausner refused to apologize, but promised to be “more thoughtful going forward.”
