Was Jennifer Love Hewitt Shamed Into Apologizing For Looking Like a Normal Mom?

This isn’t an attempt at defending Jennifer Love Hewitt — but rather my way of trying to use her as a prime example of what happens when analytics from your Instagram page — is the deciding factor on whether or not you get the job that you’re beyond qualified for.

The thirty-nine-year-old actress best known for the nineties gem — I Know What You Did Last Summer — is currently promoting her new show — 9–1–1 — the latest from Ryan Murphy’s vault of hits. Naturally — she was required to attend the Fox Upfront event — as part of her cast member duties.

The day after her appearance — Hewitt took to Instagram and released a heartfelt and long-winded apology for looking a “hot mess” — and blamed her apparently disheveled state on the “humidity” in New York City and the unexpected “12 hours long” schedule that only made things worse.

“It has been a really intense couple of days. Like, so great, so blessed — but intense.” “We go to the Upfront yesterday and nobody tells me the day is going to be like 12 hours long and the humidity is going to be almost 100 percent in New York City. So, I just have to apologize. Wearing a black suit? Not a good idea. Not wearing enough hairspray and teasing in my hair? Also a bad idea.”

“I just have to apologize for how wrecked I look in all the pictures that have come out. I was literally melting. By the time I got to the red carpet, I was honestly melting.” “My hair was flat, my makeup was running off my face and I looked like I had completely forgotten I was an actress in this business who is supposed to look [perfect] when you step on the red carpet.”

“That is not what I’m going to look like on the show. I’m going to have makeup on my face. I’m not going to be sweating. I’m not going to be overwhelmed by being in front of a red carpet and crews again. Honestly, I apologize.” “I should’ve really gotten it together!”

Hewitt goes on to explain how traveling with toddlers for the first time presented quite the challenge — but thankfully they were “ballers” and “did a great job.” She also gave a shoutout to her hubby for holding her down during the flight to New York — since air travel heightens her anxiety.
