Despite Rex Reed’s nasty review of Identity Thief, in which he called star Melissa McCarthy a “hippo,” the film was the number one movie at the box office over the weekend. And after Reed’s review hit the press, several stars came to McCarthy’s defense. Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet, who appears in Thief, tweeted, “Turns out, Rex Reed didn't die sad and alone 10 years ago. Nope. He's alive and starving for attention, so lets give him some." Also defending McCarthy was her Bridesmaids director Paul Feig, who tweeted, “For his catty and school bully name-calling of the supremely talented Melissa McCarthy, I cordially invite Mr. Rex Reed to go f**k himself.” Nearly 1,000 people retweeted Feig’s comment, with Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes calling it, “Best. Tweet. Ever.”
