Supermodel Heidi Klum punched back against Donald Trump's weekend remark about her slipping perfection by producing a tongue-in-cheek video she posted online.

In an interview with The New York Times, the GOP presidential front-runner dissed the 42-year-old beauty while addressing his "outrageous" persona.

"Sometimes I do go a little bit far," Trump, 69, told Maureen Dowd. "Heidi Klum. Sadly, she's no longer a 10."

Klum fired back with a 12-second video showing her at what appears to be a photo shoot wearing a white T-shirt with the number "10" affixed to it. Someone wearing a Donald Trump mask slips behind her and pulls off the 10 to reveal a 9.99, as Klum opens her mouth in shock, before smiling.

The video goes to black with the hashtag #HeidiTrumpsTrump.

Klum posted the video on Twitter:


Klum later told the New York Daily News she didn't understand how she became Trump's latest target.

"Personally, I have no idea what I have to do with the election," she said.

Klum told "Access Hollywood" that she decided to have a little fun with Trump's comment.

"I was just making light of the situation because it was kind of funny I thought, and I just thought, make it even more funny," said Klum "But really, the whole entire situation about women is not really funny, you know to put a number on a woman."

Many on social media appeared to take Klum's side.
