“The crazy part is, if we all had money, I’m sure there’s something we would all fix about ourselves. So why judge other people ? I see women bashing women constantly. Let that woman be fine on her own and feel confident 💕”

“She looks damn good..she has elevated her look since RHOA.. Bravo Ms. Leaks 💐”

“Let’s normalize aging gracefully…. You don’t have to be 21 Forever ❤️”
While Instagram user @laheelah_ added.
“Nene looks amazing. However, I hope that we don’t become a society that no longer appreciates the beauty in aging gracefully! Aging is one thing, sculpting your face to look completely different has nothing to do with aging. Plenty of celebrities over 50 look amazing and while I’m sure many of them are getting treatments & such, they still look like themselves… halle, Tracey ellis ross, lisaraye, angela basset… all these women are aging gracefully and still look like the same person they were 20 years ago…”
