Pink took to social media to blast a troll who used an Eddie Izzard photo to wish her a happy birthday.
The Grammy-winning singer celebrated her 44th birthday on Friday and responded on Monday after someone tried to compare her and the 61-year-old British comedian on social media.
The message read “Happy Birthday @Pink” and included a 2022 photo of the comedian.
On X (formerly Twitter), Pink replied: “Thank you very much. I just showed your post to my 12 year old daughter.
“I explained to her that I’ve never met you, that I don’t know you, and that I have no idea why you would go out of your way to be hateful.

‘It was a good lesson in ignorance. Thank you. I still don’t know you. Congratulations. You are nobody.’
She pointed out that while some “anonymous, lonely” people spew hate on social media, many others are “rad.”
She continued, “These kinds of people are anonymous, lonely and miserable. But most people are smart, good and wonderful.”
Pink also insisted the troll could have chosen a much ‘worse’ photo to insult her with, instead of choosing Eddie’s photo from her performance at the South Bank Sky Arts Awards in July 2022.
She added: ‘Most importantly – what a missed opportunity here.’
“There are so many pictures you could have chosen that were actually mine that were worse than this picture, you nameless bastard. At least be creative next time dum dum.’
Earlier this year, Eddie – who has been using she/her pronouns since 2020 – revealed she added Suzy to her name after wanting the name since she was ten.
During a recording of Matt Forde’s ‘Political Party’ podcast, the comedian and politician said: ‘I’m Eddie. There’s one other name I’m going to add, Suzy, who I’ve wanted to be since I was ten.

Shot back: Pink took to X (formerly Twitter) and replied, “Thank you so much. I just showed your post to my 12 year old daughter. I explained to her that I’ve never met you, that I don’t know you, and that I have no idea why you would go out of your way to be hateful.”
‘I’m going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard. In this way I will ensure that people can choose what they want, that they cannot make mistakes, that they cannot go wrong.’
Pink has been married to racer Carey Hart, 48, since 2006 and they have daughter Willow, 12, and son Jameson, six.
Pink released her ninth studio album Trustfall in February.
She kicked off her eight-concert Summer Carnival tour in Boston in June and is scheduled to perform in Atlanta on Friday.
