Shenae Grimes, 33, calls out haters for saying she ‘aged badly’ when she has not had any fillers or botox: ‘What the hell do you expect!’

Canadian actress Shenae Grimes clapped back at critics online in a new Instagram post shared on Thursday.

The 33-year-old former 90210 star – who announced the birth of her second child in 2021 – shared a video confronting rude comments about her ‘aging badly.’

Defending herself, she wrote in the caption: ‘Thing is…I’m just… aging. I’m nearly 34 years old with 2 kids, what the hell do you expect?!’

Dressed in a short-sleeved black top and showing off her wispy bob haircut, she recorded herself addressing the recent remarks she’s received about her looks.

‘Dear people of the internet,’ she began the diatribe. ‘I want to let you in on a little secret: If you see a woman on here over the age of 30 and she doesn’t look a little bit like this, she’s more than likely had something injected into her face.’

Defending herself, she wrote in the caption: ‘Thing is…I’m just… aging. I’m nearly 34 years old with 2 kids, what the hell do you expect?!’

The caption to her 509,000 followers also said, ‘“She aged terribly”…is something I’ve heard about myself anytime I post a nostalgic clip from my past life as a TEEN actor.’

And Grimes called out the culture of misleading content seen across the world wide web on a regular basis. 

‘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,’ she explained.

The mother-of-two, who is married to English singer Josh Beech, clarified that she’s not against cosmetic procedures.

She stated, ‘I’m 100% for a bit of Botox or filler or whatever it is you choose to do to feel confident in your skin. 

‘How you feel about yourself is so important and I am a cheerleader for doing whatever makes you feel your best!’

She then admitted: ‘Lord knows, I’ve been debating a boob job big time since breastfeeding two children.’

‘That said, I think transparency when it comes to beauty standards is more important right now than ever before,’ the entertainer emphasized, adding, ‘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.’

‘In a world that tells you you look like sh*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,’ she wrote passionately.

And she wrapped up her post by writing, ‘THANK YOU to the women who bring transparency to this topic, as terrifying as it is because of the harsh judgement that comes with it any which way! 

‘Let’s all try and be a little more up front and a hell of a lot kinder please!!!’
