Model, 24, offers a classy response after getting trolled for lawn-mowing post

Gold Coast model Olivia Mathers has offered a dignified response after being trolled earlier this week for her emotional Instagram post about doing yard work.

The 24-year-old, who became the laughing stock of social media after sharing her revelatory lawn-mowing experience, posted several photos of herself in lingerie on Monday, alongside a wise quote about how to handle criticism.

‘Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter, don’t mind,’ the influencer captioned the post in a thinly veiled swipe at her critics. 

The sassy clapback followed Olivia’s melodramatic Instagram post earlier in the week about mowing the lawn of her new home, which left fans baffled.

She said she was ‘so proud’ of her achievement, which had literally reduced her to tears, and encouraged her 632,000 followers to dare to try new things.

‘I’ve had happy tears through this process… Happy tears because I am just so f**king proud of myself. It’s so easy to be faced with an unknown / new situation and say “I can’t”,’ she wrote alongside a photo of her perfectly trimmed backyard.   

She continued: ‘My advice and something I am only just learning is, give yourself more credit and challenge yourself to create results you want in life, in every aspect. It’s damn f**king empowering.’

Olivia also praised her mother for inspiring her to ‘defy the odds.’

‘Shoutout to my weapon of a mum [for] setting the absolute best example of someone who doesn’t give up and continues to defy all odds,’ she said.

‘I’m so lucky to have the best role models and people that believe in me.’ 

Her post caught the attention of notorious ‘snark’ account Celeb Spellcheck, which reposted the image alongside the blunt caption: ‘You mowed the lawn.’

Followers of Celeb Spellcheck were quick to roast Olivia for her dramatic display, with one commenting: ‘My three-year-old did more yard work than this today.’

‘Unless she was on all fours with a pair of scissors.. colour me wildly unimpressed,’ another added.   

Olivia, who is the younger sister of bikini model Isabelle Mathers, bought her first home in January. 

It is so possible her post was referring to her feelings about being a first-time home buyer, rather than the mundane act of mowing the grass.

However, given that she also uploaded a ‘before and after’ video showing her grass-trimming efforts, it’s easy to see why many found her post amusing.

Olivia reacted to the trolling on Instagram Stories on Monday.

‘I was sadden [sic] to see my vulnerable moment of gratitude be so quickly turned into a laugh,’ she wrote.
