According to Yahoo Lifestyle, the 52-year-old was targeted by a few 'trolls' minutes after she posted the photo.

One user, Allison, insinuated Hurley was desperate for attention. She claimed that despite being half the age of Hurley, she never felt the need to dress up the way Hurley did.

Another user named Taygen Klein called Hurley's outfit decision to be trashy and low class and accused her of doing anything for attention at her age.

However, numerous internet users stepped into the conversation to defend the former model. A follower, Carl Stillwell, admitted that although he did not agree with Hurley's choice of outfit, he did not see a reason to be nasty to her.

Another fan, Dana Brumfield, believed that there was nothing wrong with Hurley's dress and complimented her for her beauty at the age of 52. Although she wished that Hurley reduced the black eyeliner to reveal her beautiful eyes.
