A SELF-PROCLAIMED cougar has hit back at trolls over judging her for wearing bikinis online.
Known as Jess online, the blonde woman took to her social media account to hit back at haters.
In one clip, the woman could be seen dressed in a black robe with her mane styled into loose waves cascading down her back.
Walking away from the camera as a voiceover said: “We’re told we have to do what we’re told, but surely…”
She then turned around and walked back towards the camera with white heels on as the voiceover continued: “Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty”.
Jess then undid her robe to reveal she wore a Barbie-pink matching lingerie set.
Over this, she revealed people have told her: “Grandmas shouldn’t wear revealing bikinis”.
In another video, she could be seen wearing matching green workout gear and revealed some also tell her: “Don’t you think you’re too old to be on TikTok?!”
Over this, she played a voiceover that said: “Oh my God, I love this question! Umm… I think…”
In the caption, she added: “Ageing is a beautiful thing,” followed by the hashtag 40, indicating her age.

And a third video saw TikTok user @nursejessfl dressed in a leopard print crop top with a plunging neckline alongside a black mini skirt and boots.
“This cougar has some lessons to teacher cubs,” she wrote over the video.
Upon seeing her clips, people couldn’t help but share their strong opinion that she isn’t too old to be on the social media platform at all.
“Ageing is a privilege not given to everyone, if you got it flaunt it,” one person wrote.
“Are they f**king nuts,” another person simply questioned.
A third posted: “Definitely not. You are beautiful and give us all of your energy every day”.
Another said: “Thank God for grandma's like you,” while a fifth added: “I don't see a grandma”.
The concept of being a cougar has been featured in TV shows and films for decades.
The 2007 movie Cougar Club sees two college-age interns hook up with "cougars" played by Faye Dunaway and Carrie Fisher.
A couple of years later, a reality show called The Cougar aired in America, which featured a woman in her 40s choosing a boyfriend from 20 younger men, all in their 20s.
Sitcom Cougar Town, starring Friends star Courteney Cox, followed in the same year and ran for six seasons.

In the show, Courteney's character relentlessly goes after younger men as sexual conquests.
When the term first emerged, it was viewed by some as a derogatory term. But the more it has been used in mainstream media, the more it’s become a term of empowerment.
