accreditation
It's no secret that celebrities get a lot of criticism thrown their way. It's one of the consequences of fame.

From their fashion choices and performances to their personal actions or products, nothing is off limits to ridicule.

And thanks to the power of social media, celebs can now directly receive all messages of love and hate that anyone wants to share with them. 

Whether it's from the media, the public or other famous folk, hate gets thrown from every direction, but not all celebs take it lying down.

They too take to the internet to say what's on their mind, and what better place to do so than Twitter?

140 characters is all it takes to get your point across, and, boy, do these celebs speak their minds.

From direct replies to ambiguous tweets here are the most epic times celebs threw shade on Twitter:
