The drama started when she posted a photo of her wearing a mask on a ride in Vegas.

“Who’s the pathetic loser wearing a mask?” one person wrote.

Breslin explained that she was wearing a mask because she lost her father “due to someone not wearing a mask and giving him Covid.”

However, the troll said that her father died because he was “weak.”

Breslin encouraged her fans to report the user for other inflammatory comments she shared in a screenshot.

Breslin then posted a photo of her and her friends celebrating New Year’s without masks.

Some called Breslin out on her “hypocrisy,” forcing her to explain that they were all vaccinated and tested.

Breslin then said she’s hopping off social media for a bit – and who can blame her?
