Another accused the actress of getting plastic surgery. “You’re stunning, but you had buccal fat removal. Your cheeks suddenly look sucked in, exactly the same way the buccalfat removalin the face/cheeks does to people. You’ve always been beautiful and still are and there’s nothing wrong with getting surgery, but why lie about it?”

Some even claimed that she was lying about her health: “You don’t look like that because you’re 38. I’m the same age, and neither myself or any of the other people I know that are my age look like that. You are in poor health. Just be honest with people instead of lying and lashing out at them for being concerned.”
