Taraji P. Henson is shutting down social users being too critical of her new post and claiming she underwent plastic surgery and touched her face.
On Thursday (June 11), the actress shared a new carousel post showing off her all-denim outfit. Henson wore the cute fit to Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals. She proudly cheered on the New York Knicks against the San Antonio Spurs. While captioning the 10-slide post, she wrote:
“BIG @nyknicks ENERGY 💙🧡💙🧡 Stepped out last night in all denim and diamonds. It was a moment. What a game!!! 💋💋💋 Styling: @kollincarter. Glam by yours truly ✨.”
As many social users, including fellow celebrities, complimented Henson’s outfit, her “laid” pixie haircut, and her “beat” face — others picked apart her appearance. One person wrote, “The first pic I was like who is that 😂.” Another person wrote, “The nose definitely looks different in the 1st picture.”
As social users continued to claim they “did not recognize” Henson, others took up for her. One person wrote, “They just don’t know a phenomenal face beat when they see one.” Another chimed in, “Y’all better stop playing with my girl knowing she ain’t do nothing to her face. She looks good 😍😍.”
Eventually, someone caught a response from TPH herself. The lucky person commented, “Something looks different 👀.” The actress replied:
“Y’all kill me with this sh*t. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MY DAMN FACE. I AM ON BROADWAY!!! LIVE THEATER. WHEN THE HELL WOULD I HAVE TIME FOR A SURGERY? JUST STOP THE MADNESS. LIKE FR 😒.“
Another person replied, “Okay filter then.” TPH fired back, “Prob the same one you and everybody else use 🤷🏾♀️.” Another person commented, “So u mad coz we sayin you too beautiful?” TPH replied:
“Not mad at all. Some ppl believe anything ppl say about celebrities. I was reading that nonsense about something different about my face BS. Thank you for the compliment ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋.”
