Minnie Driver: 1; body critics: 0.

Just weeks after she quit Twitter because of cruel comments made about her body in a bikini, Driver delivered an epic shutdown to those very critics by tweeting a photo of her nude spread in Allure magazine.

If you want people to stop taking about how you look in a bikini, let them see you naked. It tends to shut them up:) pic.twitter.com/D5WkmRqE1Z — Minnie Driver (@driverminnie) April 22, 2014

The 44-year-old appears naked in the May 2014 issue of Allure magazine.

"I never could have done this when I was 25 -- no way," she said of mustering the gusto to strip down for the shoot. "All I saw then were the flaws. I still see the flaws, but I see what's great more -- and I've got a banging body."

On April 8, Driver slammed people who had hateful things to say about photos of her wearing a swimsuit taken by paparazzi while she was on vacation with her 5-year-old son, Henry.
