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 appeared in an Instagram post shared by her hairstylist Nikki Lee, and some internet users wasted no time calling the actress out for her altered appearance.
This came after Jennifer cut her hair into a bob and dyed it a deep, rich brown. Her stylist captioned the post: “Was time to spice things up.”
As often happens when a celebrity changes their look, fans of the 44‑year‑old quickly filled the comments section. Many were complimentary, though others tried to belittle Love Hewitt by implying she had undergone cosmetic procedures.
The actress, who rose to fame after I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), was even labeled “unrecognizable” by some.
While most celebrities ignore critics in situations like this, Love Hewitt chose to respond by posting a series of photos that poked fun at the idea she had altered her appearance through 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.”
Naturally, the tongue‑in‑cheek photos featured several exaggerated filters over Hewitt’s face. Still, the actress urged people to be kind when commenting on others’ photos.
She ended 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 photo 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,” she wrote.
“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! ❤️”
Many fans commented that they were surprised by how different the former child star looked.
“I saw this picture in an article and thought they made a mistake because I didn’t believe it was JLH… I came to Instagram to double check and I am shocked,” one person wrote.
“Why doesn’t she look like herself? I’m so confused,” another added.
“That’s not her,” a third insisted. “It can’t be.”
