Jennifer Love Hewitt, best known for her role in *Ghost Whisperer*, recently clapped back at online critics who accused her of looking “unrecognizable” in a new Instagram selfie.
The 44-year-old actress debuted a fresh bob haircut and rich brown hair color in a post shared by her hairstylist, Nikki Lee, captioned:
> *“Was time to spice things up.”*
While many fans complimented the new look, others implied that Jennifer’s altered appearance was due to cosmetic procedures, with some calling her “fake.”
Instead of ignoring the criticism, Jennifer responded with humor. She posted a series of tongue-in-cheek photos featuring exaggerated filters and wrote:
> *“So many people said I look different. I look the same as always. Couldn’t look more natural. I woke up like this. Filters don’t change you that much.”*
She ended her post with a powerful message:
> *“Let people be filtered or unfiltered. Be good. Be kind. Spread love.”*
Earlier this year, Jennifer shared a heartfelt birthday post, reflecting on aging and family:
> *“Woke up at 4 a.m. 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.”*
While some followers were surprised by her appearance in recent photos, Jennifer’s response serves as a reminder that kindness and positivity should always come first.
Her message is clear: whether filtered or unfiltered, people deserve respect and love.
