Jennifer Love Hewitt pulled no punches as she hit back at trolls who accused her of being “fake” in a selfie she uploaded to social media this month.
According to reports, the Ghost Whisperer star was featured in an Instagram post uploaded by her hairstylist Nikki Lee, and certain internet denizens wasted no time in calling the actress out for her altered appearance.
This came after Jennifer had cut her hair into a bob and changed its color to a deep, rich brown. Her stylist captioned the post in question: “Was time to spice things up.”
The actress, who rose to fame after appearing in I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), was branded “unrecognizable” by some.
Now, while it’s usually standard practice for celebs to simply ignore their critics and naysayers in such circumstances, Love Hewitt decided to hit back at her detractors by posting a series of photos that played on the idea that she had changed her look via some sort of surgery.
“So many people said I look different”, the actress wrote.
“I look the same as always. Couldn’t look more natural. I woke up like this. Filters don’t change you that much.”
She finished her post with: “Let people be filtered or unfiltered. Be good. Be kind. Spread love.”
Earlier this year, Love Hewitt’s appearance was scrutinized after she posted a picture to mark her 44th birthday.
“Woke up at 4am and was 44! I am deeply grateful, blessed, happy, sometimes insecure about aging, a mom of three incredible babies, married to the most handsome and awesome man, and really excited to see what this year has for us,” her post read.
“I feel magic in the air and I love magic. Off to work… thank you mom for giving me life. I miss you so much. Gonna get my job done and my birthday cheers on later. Ps Atticus got up way too early and sang me happy birthday! My heart melted. Now go have a great day everyone. It’s my birthday you have to do it!
There were many comments then left by fans and followers who were surprised by how different the former child star looked.
I think we all need to remember to be kind to others at all times. The world is filled with so much hate and destruction, and constant negativity online or in real life only makes things that much worse.
