Here is what happened:
In a recent Inside of You podcast episode, Jennifer Love Hewitt opened up about the challenges of aging in Hollywood, particularly in response to public scrutiny about her appearance. The former I Know What You Did Last Summer star shared that the fan reactions to her dramatic new hair transformation in August taught her an important lesson, stating that “Aging in Hollywood is really hard. You can’t do anything right.” The actress went on to describe how she threw on a filter while getting her hair done without much thought and how the photo then blew up on social media, prompting judgmental comments about her appearance. In response, she jokingly posted photos with “over the top” filters on her face, trying to make light of the situation.
Despite defending herself against the backlash, Hewitt addressed the fact that people continued to criticize her appearance, leading her to realize that “I can do no right.” Despite feeling the urge to ignore trolls, the actress admitted that she does pay attention to what people say, adding that pretending not to do so would be a lie.
