Shenae Grimes Is Clapping Back at Everyone Who Says She ‘Aged Terribly’ at 33

We’re gonna say this first: 33 years old is still young! And to literally shame women for not having plastic surgery, and for naturally aging, is ridiculous — and that’s exactly what 90210 alum Shenae Grimes is here to say!

On Sept 1, Grimes shared a video of herself clapping back at haters who made the wild statement that she “aged terribly”… at 33. She posted the video with the caption starting with: “‘She aged terribly’…is something I’ve heard about myself anytime I post a nostalgic clip from my past life as a TEEN actor. Thing is…I’m just… aging. I’m nearly 34 years old with 2 kids, what the hell do you expect?!”

She added, “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 did put a disclaimer that she is “100% for a bit of Botox or filler or whatever it is you choose to do to feel confident in your skin,” but added, “I think transparency when it comes to beauty standards is more important right now than ever before. 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.”

Along with that, the Blood Honey stargave a special thank you to women being fully transparent about aging in the public eye despite “the harsh judgement that comes with it any which way!”

In this powerful video, she doubles down on what she put in the caption, along with showing off her lines and crow’s feet, showing a bit of badass transparency herself!

The most viral quote from the video is: “People of the Internet, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. If you see a woman above the age of 30 and she doesn’t look a little bit like this,” Grimes said, pointing to her own lines, like we said. “She’s more than likely had something injected into her face.”

Grimes is one of many stars calling out the way retouching and hiding the truth on social media has skewed so many minds on what naturally aging can look like. Along with Grimes, many stars like Justine Bateman and Paulina Porizkova have talked about how much they love their wrinkles, and how they try to be transparent with their audience.
