Julia Roberts has always been celebrated for her timeless beauty, but a recent makeup-free photo has sparked a surprising backlash. The 56-year-old actress shared a candid snapshot taken at home with her niece, showing her natural appearance without makeup, styled hair, or Photoshop. While many fans admired her authenticity, others criticized her looks, calling her “ugly” and “manly.”
Roberts didn’t shy away from addressing the negativity. “There was a time when people kept their opinions to themselves,” she wrote. “Freedom does not mean anything goes.” Her response highlights the challenges women face in a world that often values perfection over authenticity.
