Jennifer Love Hewitt received a barrage of comments on her social media, with many accusing her of undergoing plastic surgery following the release of new footage. Yet, the 44-year-old actress responded in an unexpected manner to these online trolls, leaving us even more surprised.

A brand new look.

It all began when @nikkilee901, the hairstylist of the Ghost Whisperer star, posted an Instagram clip showcasing a significant hair transformation. The video featured the gorgeous actress as she cut her long, lightened hair into a stylish bob with fashionable curtain bangs. Additionally, she decided to change her hair color to a rich mahogany brown.

The hairstylist captioned the post with, “Was time to spice things up,” accompanied by a red hot pepper emoji.

Numerous fans lavished the actress with compliments regarding her new look. For instance, one person commented, “GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS, LOVE YOU JENNIFER,” while another added, “In love since I was a teenager!”

However, several individuals accused the star of undergoing recent cosmetic surgery and speculated about the possibility of a brow lift. Some even went as far as describing her as “unrecognizable.”

A witty response.

Love Hewitt had a clever and playful response to these comments on Sunday, which she shared through her Instagram stories. She directly addressed the commentators, remarking, “So many people said I look different,” and followed up with, “I look the same as always. Couldn’t look more natural. I woke up like this. Filters don’t change you that much.”

However, what made her response truly remarkable was the way she presented herself in these clips. The 44-year-old applied a range of filters to her face, resulting in a completely transformed appearance. She appended a heartfelt message to her post, stating, “Let people be filtered or unfiltered. Be good. Be kind. Spread love.”

We wholeheartedly endorse the star’s compassionate message about spreading love, and we applaud her for being both open and honest about her life. This year, as she celebrated her 44th birthday, Love Hewitt candidly shared her feelings of “insecurity about aging,” making us feel even more connected to her.
