"If you want people to stop talking about how you look in a bikini, let them see you naked," the actress captioned the picture. "It tends to shut them up :)"
Minnie only returned to Twitter this week, after announcing she was leaving 'Twittersphere' on April 9. Her decision came in response to a number of tweets she received after photos were published of her in a bikini on holiday.

"I'm out of this Twittersphere for a while. It's too mean sometimes, about your body, about your soul. Not worth it. "The About A Boy star announced her return to the networking site on Monday, tweeting, "Right, where was I. Oh yes — Aristotle: 'To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.' In deference to this, I think I'll carry on. "Meanwhile, Minnie stepped out with a very special date at the City Year Los Angeles's Spring Break: Destination Education fundraiser over the weekend: her son Henry.
