GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Cyberbullies beware: Don’t mess with Ginger Zee.
The Rockford native and Good Morning America meteorologist responded with "composure and grace" after one Facebook user bashed Zee as the "most ugly weather girl i.v seen on tv," according to The Vane, a weather blog by the website Gawker.
Zee responded to the insult by tweeting that it was OK to call her "ugly" but not “weather girl.”
“Please get it right,” she tweeted, I’m “the ugliest METEOROLOGIST you’ve seen. Happy Friday!”

Later, Zee posted the exchange on her Facebook page, writing, "I love people. Call me ugly all you want-- but don't disrespect me by calling me that other nasty term! I studied too hard & chased too many storms to be called that."
