The fact that Jennifer Love Hewitt – who is 46 freaking years old, by the way – looking like this got any reaction other than “god DAMN!” proves that we are truly cooked as a society.

It boggles the mind that this got negative comments. People have truly forgotten what real human bodies look like.

A recent photo of the beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt has been circulating on social media, wearing a black fitted dress with her long hair flowing.

And as is the society we live in, the comments have been appalling.

Jennifer is a 46-year-old woman who has carried and birthed three children. She is gorgeous, and was glowing in these recent photos. But of course that isn’t enough.

No. We, as a supposedly evolving society, can’t just simply look at her stunning presence and energy as she warmly speaks to the media about her latest movie role in the remake of “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” and keep our judgements to ourselves. We need to take to social media and write awful, body shaming comments. We need to voice harsh criticism and nastiness for the sole sake of tearing another person down.

A woman we don’t personally know. A woman who, no doubt, has her own battles and struggles.

I’ve gotta tell you all: at this stage, it seems like many in society are no bloody smarter than the cave man. They lack any self-awareness and emotional intelligence. And they clearly live a miserable life, hating themselves. Because why else would they deem it okay to body shame another human being?

The one positive of social media is the influx of people calling this pathetic behaviour out. They are shaming the shamers, and whilst I usually wouldn’t agree with the “eye for an eye” approach, honestly, at this stage I’m all for it.

Because, quite frankly, the people who made the below comments deserve to be shamed:

“One week straight in the gym and we got a winner.”

“I know what she ate last summer, she ate all the food.”

“Body got bigger. Head stayed the same size.”

“She went to the buffet Last Summer, a lot.”

“That’s a big white torta.”

“Looks like she’s eating for two now.”

“I know what she ate last summer, carbs and lots of them.”

“Is the answer an entire burger place.”

“Looks like she ate cheeseburgers all summer.”

“We defs know she didn’t miss a single meal last summer.”

“Certainly isn’t a fine wine.”

“Step away from the buffet.”

“She must have a stock of crispy cream donuts.”

“I’m sorry but she doesn’t look good heavy.”

“More like Jennifer loves cupcakes.”

“Ageing like sour milk.”

These comments were all made by men, who had both their name and profile photo called out, and honestly the audacity of mediocre men to be making judgments on someone else’s appearance is astounding. Men who should be more concerned about their own bodies.

Whilst these particular comments were made by men, I’m sure that sadly there were also some made by women. Because insecure, miserable people love to call out the flaws of others to make themselves feel better about their inadequate lives.

Here’s the thing: I’ve never seen a nasty, disrespectful comment about a woman’s body by an attractive, secure, and confident man. Because happy, successful, attractive men are not on social media disparaging the looks of another human being. Imagine the ignorance and bitterness you must be filled with to publicly judge someone else’s weight, particularly when you look like you’ve never exercised a day in your life.

And yes, I am being judgmental because at some point we need to call this sh*t out—and maybe the only way to do that is to judge the judger, the same way they are judging others.

Imagine being in the public eye for many years, growing from a young woman to a mother of three, and possibly now a peri-menopausal woman, and having to see and listen to the judgements and criticisms about how your body has changed? We women always bear the burden of the unfair and unrealistic expectations placed on how we are supposed to look.

We aren’t allowed to age. Our bodies aren’t allowed to change. We are expected to carry a growing human being inside of us and nourish that baby, which often depletes us. We give birth, feed, and put everyone else first, but our body isn’t allowed to change. It’s like we are living in an alternate universe.

I thought we would have evolved, yet it feels like we are no better than we were decades ago. Thankfully, some of us have made changes so we can live in a semi-kind and compassionate society. Social media has created a space for people to project all their self-hate and self-loathing out into the world, and the saddest part of all is they don’t even know they are doing it. They don’t understand that judging and shaming other’s stems from their own fears. All they know is it temporarily makes them feel better about themselves.

And what a sad existence that must be.

To the keyboard warriors who bake in their own putrid misery everyday, be better. Get out in nature and breathe in the fresh air. Try opening your heart, mind, and soul. Instead of using hateful comments as a form of self-soothing, try therapy—it works wonders for those who want to heal their pain. Remember what you say is a reflection of you, so perhaps think before you post.

I’m a compassionate person but my compassion runs thin with people people who vilify others to make themselves feel better. Hurt people try and hurt others.

To Jennifer Love Hewitt, your presence is breathtaking. Your smile lights up the room. Your inner happiness exudes through your very being. And your eyes tell the story of a woman who loves her life. You are the epitome of grace.
