Jennifer Love Hewitt hits back at trolls
Jennifer Love Hewitt did not hold back in her response to trolls who accused her of being “fake” in a selfie she posted on social media earlier this month.
According to reports, the Ghost Whisperer actress was featured in an Instagram image shared by her hairstylist Nikki Lee, and some online users wasted no time calling her out for her altered appearance.
Jennifer had trimmed her hair into a bob and colored it a deep, rich brown. Her stylist captioned the photo, “Was time to spice things up.”
As is common when a celebrity alters their appearance, admirers of the 44-year-old were ready to leave comments. Many of them were kind, but some tried to demean Love Hewitt by claiming that she had undergone cosmetic surgery.
Some described the actress, who rose to prominence after acting in I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), as “unrecognizable”.
While it is common practice for celebrities to just ignore their critics and skeptics in such situations, Love Hewitt opted to respond to her detractors by sharing a series of images that suggested she had transformed her appearance through surgery.
“So many people told me I looked different,” the actress wrote.
“I look the same as usual. Could not look more natural. I awoke like this. Filters don’t really change you.”
Needless to say, the cheeky photos had a variety of filters applied to Hewitt’s face. The actress urged people to be courteous when commenting on other people’s images, no matter how exaggerated they were.
She ended her post with, “Let people be filtered or unfiltered. Be good. Be kind. Spread the love.

Earlier this year, Love Hewitt’s appearance was examined after she shared a photo commemorating her 44th birthday.
“Woke up at 4 a.m. and was 44! “I am deeply grateful, blessed, happy, sometimes insecure about aging, a mother of three incredible babies, married to the most handsome and awesome man, and very excited to see what this year has in store for us,” her message stated.
“I feel magic in the air, and I adore magic.” I’m off to work and grateful to my mother for bringing me into the world. I miss you so much. I’m going to get my job done and celebrate my birthday later. P.S. Atticus woke up much too early and sung me Happy Birthday! My heart melted. Have a great day, everyone. You must celebrate my birthday! ❤️.
Many fans and followers left comments, amazed by how different the former child star looked.

“I saw this picture in an article and assumed they made a mistake because I didn’t recognize JLH; there wasn’t even a similarity. “I came to Instagram to double-check, and I’m shocked,” one user commented.
“Why isn’t she looking like herself? “I’m so confused,” another person added.
“That’s not her,” a third stated. “It can’t be.”
