Comedian Jay Mohr was slammed after Alyssa Milano responded to the comedian's crude joke towards her post-baby body, according to a report by the Huffington Post.

According to the report, Milano, an actress and a mother, responded to Jay Mohr's fat-shaming joke in a very classy fashion.

Milano, who gave birth to a baby boy in 2011, took to Twitter and said:

"I wonder how Jay would feel if someone someday called his daughter fat? Does he really want her dating a guy like him?" Milano wrote. She added, "[I]t's not any woman's duty to starve herself so that someone she hardly knows, and most likely never wants to know, thinks she's sufficiently skinny."

Jay Mohr made fun and joked about the 41-year-old mother's body after the two attended the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion's Awards held in Las Vegas last December 6, 2013. During an interview, Mohr made some comments about Milano's body, according to the New York Daily News.

"She was one of the presenters... She's very tiny," Mohr said of Milano, referring to Alyssa as "Melissa". "It seems like she had a baby and said, 'I don't really give a s**t' ... I read it on her gut... Somebody sat in the director's chair and was not wearing Spanx and I was like, 'Jesus Christ.'"

The comic is married to actress Nikki Cox and the two has a 2-year-old daughter. Some bloggers criticized Mohr and asked how he would feel if his daughter was on the receiving end of similar remarks.

In November last year, Mohr's wife, appeared as a guest blogger on Mohr's website and wrote that society has become so mean, the report said.

"As a culture we have become incredibly mean and snarky," Cox wrote in the blog. "We've become cruel and malicious and we keep trying to pass it off as a big joke. People on Twitter and bloggers say something they think is super cutting, biting and hilarious but really it's just mean and [sh***y]."
