On her TikTok page, the middle-aged woman has amassed over 90,000 followers with her confidence-boosting content.
She hasn’t shied away from controversial topics like sexual taboos and showing skin as an older lady.
Recently, she decided to address a comment from someone who goes by @peener10 on TikTok.
“These are not cougars,” the account commented on one of her videos. “These look like exhumed mummies.”
Poter was less than impressed with his feedback.
The proud cougar took hold of her camera and responded directly to the insulting comment.
“Thanks for spreading the lover peener,” Poter quipped as she sat in bed.
She pointed out that ‘Peener’s’ account had no followers, a tell-tale sign of a social media troll.
“Thank you for sharing your negative, hostile comments with someone who is upbeat and positive like myself and my friend.”
She threw the text “haters gonna hate” over her brief video.
She also wrote in the comments: “Haters? Bring ’em lol.”
Poter’s fans were quick to come to her defense in the comments section.
“Hey I think we all should enjoy our hobbies and I think you’re very entertaining and don’t let the no-sayers get you down… I like you!!!” one person commented.
Another follower couldn’t help but make a lighthearted joke out of the negative situation.
“I would wrap my arms around you like a mummy,” the jokester proclaimed.
Other people tried their best to lift Poter’s spirits following the ordeal.
“You are a sweetie!” a third commented.
