Fans say Gabrielle Union’s drastic transformation has “ruined her” and demand that the actress “throw away the filler”
Gabrielle Union’s calling card may never fade, but fans fear funds are running low.
Union recently appeared alongside her husband, Dwyane Wade, on the red carpet at the Academy Museum gala in Los Angeles. Even though she dazzled in a purple sequined Elie Saab gown, her expression caused a stir.
The 51-year-old actress had some surprising changes to her cheekbones, which made her otherwise flawless face look strange. Large indentations covered her face, creating an excessively made-up or surgically altered appearance.
Everyday fashion bomb shared several photos of Union and Wade on the carpet, and fans in the comments were divided between concern and confusion about what was happening to Union’s face.
“Why would she do this to her face? I’m devastated,” said one follower. “I ruined her face,” said one other.
One person hoped that an overzealous makeup artist was guilty. “Hopefully, really sharp cheek contouring, not cheek fat removal.” From the starting, a supporter blamed the artist: “This outline is crazy. The MUA is wrong on this point.”
Another fan commented: “Gabb looks like that villain from DuckTales.” And this person chimed in with a comparison: “Why did she redo her face, now she looks like the mom she had and now doesn’t have.”
“You need to take the fillers out,” one Instagram user advisable, while one other bluntly asked: “What happened. Down. Her. Face.”
Several other comments mentioned that the “Perfect Find” actress had a “catwoman face” and told the actress that she “came out sad.”
Union’s appearance has been a subject of conversation recently, leaving fans wondering whether botched fillers or a talented makeup artist were guilty.
Back in August, ABS already included fans reacting to Union’s swollen face as they cheered on Simone Biles and the U.S. women’s gymnastics team in Paris during the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Once again, there have been accusations of “bad filler work”, “playing with her face” and succumbing to “the pressure to always look young in Hollywood”. Fans have also noticed that the photos and videos Union posts on her personal social media never seem to lift eyebrows, and she at all times looks “normal.”
While the pressures of Hollywood could make anyone obsess over looking young, Union’s longtime fans are begging her to not fall for it. However, the actress never admitted that she used any facial fillers or cosmetic treatments.
in June Harpers Bazaar spoke to the mother of 1 about the pressures of aging in the entertainment industry and how she deals with it.
“I’m the last person who would judge anyone for what they do for their body and how they live,” she replied when asked about cosmetic surgery and injections. “I’ll say it again: If you prefer it, I find it irresistible. I was more judgmental, and then I believed, “Who cares?” I feel it is also about learning to search out individuals with the aesthetic you are on the lookout for. When I used to be young, I desired to seem like other people, but now I would like to seem like me.
When asked if she had ever gone under the knife, the actress stated that she preferred the more natural route.
“For me, I tried all kinds of shit. Some things don’t work – for example, my body absorbs Botox like Skittles, so it’s not an option for me because it’s not permanent. “What I love more than anything else are PRP facials where they take blood and then inject it back into the skin,” she said.
In the interview, Union also expressed her attachment to the knowledge she has gained through growing older. She recently shared a few of the following tips TikTok, gives advice to women of their thirties.
“Time isn’t running out, that’s true,” Union confirmed. “It appears to be the case. If you have a look at social media, oh my God, you are running out of time. This shouldn’t be. This shouldn’t be. Other people will make you are feeling such as you’re running out of time because they need everyone else to do the same thing they do so that they can feel higher about their selections. There isn’t any race, just as there isn’t a checkered flag at the end of life when someone says, “She did it all!”
She then encouraged women to enjoy life and start living.
“Journey. Tell people how you really feel,” she continued. “Don’t lie to your therapist and accept that not everything is okay, and accept that you will miss out on something because being at the center is more enjoyable.”
