Melyssa Ford spoke out in defense of Jasmine Guy after the actress was ridiculed for her looks amid the release of Netflix's A Different World.
In a video posted to her Instagram on Tuesday (Sept. 22), Ford called out "internet gangsters" for criticizing Guy, 64. "You internet gangsters get on my f**kingnerves," the Hot & Bothered host began, calling Guy "the latest woman to be picked apart for her age."
"Women cannot win for losing," Ford said. "If a woman gets work done, she lacks self-love, she's insecure, she's chasing youth. If she doesn't, she's letting herself go or she's praised for being 'brave' for letting her face do what faces do. 'Brave' for aging."
Ford called "aging naturally" a "privilege," while the alternative is "death." "If you wanna die and live a good-looking corpse, that's on you. But most of us wanna live long, healthy, robust lives and that means getting older. No one calls a f**kingman 'brave' for going gray."
