If you're going to belittle Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid's modeling career, prepare to get a response.

The two it-girls have been gracing runways and magazine covers across the world, but according to OG supermodel Stephanie Seymour, that doesn't allow them to carry on the prestigious title of "supermodel." No, Seymour had a different name in mind, and it wasn't very nice.

"They are completely different than we were," she recently told Vanity Fair. "Supermodels are sort of the thing of the past. They deserve their own title. [Kendall and Gigi] are beautiful girls, and I support all of them, but they need their own title."

As for what their title should be..."Bitches of the moment!" Seymour said with a laugh. "That would be a good title for them."

Well, Kendall had a little something to say about that.

Kendall took to her app to pen a response to Seymour's comments, and any criticism revolving around legitimizing their modeling careers.

"Gigi sent me the most recent rant and I'm disappointed. If you're going to tell us not to be in ''your moment,' then don't be in mine! This moment is all about being supportive—NOT cyberbullying. But, if you choose to be a cyberbully, I'm going to stick up for myself," she wrote.

"No one is trying to steal Stephanie Seymour's thing, or trying to be her. I actually looked up to her. She has a daughter! I guarantee you that she didn't imagine someone so publicly shaming her daughter when she made those comments about us being 'bitches of the moment.'"

Kendall continued, "Being a 'supermodel' is a relative term. If people want to call Gigi and I supermodels now, it doesn't take anything away from supermodels of the past. Obviously, I have so much respect for those women, but right now, we're the models of this time. Significant? Maybe. Hardworking? For sure.

"When I'm older, I'm going to be so nice to anyone who's trying to do the same thing as me. There are other supermodels who give me tips and build up my confidence, sending me notes after a spread comes out, saying, 'You're killing it.' That's the classy way to behave and I fully intend on being a positive influence on anyone younger than me, my entire life."

Kendall's post obviously got support from bestie Gigi Hadid, who gave her stamp of approval on Twitter:
