Jennifer Love Hewitt didn’t hold back as she responded to critics who labeled her “fake” in a recent selfie shared on social media.
Reports indicate that the Ghost Whisperer star appeared in an Instagram post from her hairstylist, Nikki Lee, where some users quickly took to the comments to call out the actress for her seemingly altered look.
This reaction followed Jennifer’s new hairstyle, which featured a bob cut and a deep, rich brown color. Her stylist’s caption read: “Was time to spice things up.”
As is common when a celebrity makes a change, the 44-year-old actress received a mix of comments. While many fans praised her new look, others tried to undermine her by suggesting she had undergone cosmetic enhancements. Some even went so far as to describe her as “unrecognizable.”

In typical situations, celebrities often choose to overlook their critics, but Love Hewitt took a different approach by responding to her naysayers. She shared a collection of photos that humorously suggested she had altered her appearance through surgery.
“So many people mentioned that I look different,” the actress commented.
“I look just like I always have. I couldn’t be more natural. I woke up like this. Filters don’t make that big of a difference.”



The playful images included several filters applied to Hewitt’s face. While they might be over-the-top, the actress encouraged everyone to show kindness when commenting on others’ photos.
She concluded her message with “Let people be filtered or unfiltered. Be good. Be kind. Spread love.”
Earlier this year, Love Hewitt faced criticism regarding her appearance after sharing a photo to celebrate 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!
Many fans and followers left comments expressing their surprise at how different the former child star appeared.
“I came across this picture in an article and thought it was a mistake because I couldn’t believe it was JLH; I didn’t see any resemblance at all. I had to check Instagram to confirm, and I’m in shock,” one user shared.
“Why does she look so different? I’m really confused,” another commented.
“That can’t be her,” a third person insisted. “It’s impossible.”
