90210’s Shenae Grimes hit back at her haters. On August 31, the actress shared a heartfelt post addressing the criticism she faced for her appearance. Let’s dig into the details.
Shenae Grimes talked about the age-shaming comments
The Degrassi alum shared a video where she showed off some of the wrinkles near her eyes and said that people over 30 who don’t have wrinkles must have some work done on their faces.
She started her post by writing, “‘ She aged terribly’ …is something I’ve heard about myself anytime I post a nostalgic clip from my past life as a TEEN actor. Thing is…I’m just… aging. I’m nearly 34 years old with 2 kids, what the hell do you expect?!”.
Grimes added, “One of the internet’s best-kept secrets is skewing our perception of reality in a big way. While I think we’re all aware of this by now, I personally know how easy it is to lose grip on reality and judge yourself harshly when you’re inundated with images of seemingly effortless ‘perfection’ every day.”
Moreover, she continued, “I have so much respect and admiration for the badass, beautiful women I follow that open up about these topics, whether you choose to age naturally or with a little help from your friends.”
Therefore, she addressed the double standard of society writing, “In a world that tells you you look like s–t if you don’t chemically/surgically alter your face/body. and shames you for being ‘fake’ while glorifying your appearance when you do… it’s tough out there, man.”
Shenae who shares kids Kingsley, 2, and Bowie, 4, with husband Josh Beech concluded her post by writing, “Let’s all try and be a little more upfront and a hell of a lot kinder please!!!”
Previously, in an interview with Allure, she addressed the rumours of having a facelift. “My face is changing,” she told the outlet, “and I love that my face is changing and aging. People think I had a facelift. They’re like, ‘What did she do to her face?’ I’m like, ‘Bitch, I’m just aging! It doesn’t mean I got bad plastic surgery. This is just what happens.'”
