Eva Mendes Spectacularly Shuts Down Age-Shaming Troll on Instagram
Eva Mendes just proved that she won’t stand for age-shaming in an epic response to a troll who commented “she’s getting old” on her most recent Instagram post.
The post in question features Mendes showing off newly short hair, which now falls just above her shoulders in a sleek long bob. As usual, the 45-year-old actress and mom of two looks stunning as all get-out in the clip, but unfortunately, that didn’t stop an Instagram troll from attempting to tear her down with a rude comment about aging. Mendes didn’t let the bully’s comment break her, though—instead she used it as an opportunity to spread age positivity and uplift others. “Yes your right. Thank God I’m getting old. That means I’m still here,” she responded. “I’m gonna be 46 soon and grateful every day that I’m aging. Was your comment suppose to make me feel bad? It didn’t. It makes me feel grateful. So thank you for the reminder that I’m still here, ❤️❤️❤️” she added.
It didn’t take long before myriad fans chimed to support Mendes with messages like, “I think you make aging look beautiful!! At 46, I have no problem owning it!! 😁 I have 7 kids, so I’m earning this wisdom! 😉” and “You’re so beautiful, in and out. Thanks for always inspiring us 💜🥰.” Additionally, she received countless compliments on her new haircut, which is the shortest she’s worn it in quite some time.
Props to Mendes for keeping it real and reminding others what a gift getting older really is.
