This week, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Ana had liked an Instagram post questioning whether Nicole got plastic surgery. The post, made in February on the Instagram account @celebmess, included what the account holder says is a 1996 photo of Nicole alongside a more recent picture of her. Also attached were screenshots from a 2007 interview where Nicole was asked about persistent stories surrounding her appearance. The piece noted that Nicole had sparked “persistent buzz over whether [she] is overly Botoxed” following her appearance at the 2006 Oscars.
In the profile, Nicole denied getting any work done. “To be honest, I am completely natural,” she said. “I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don’t smoke.”
She added, “I take care of myself. And I’m very proud to say that.”
Nicole’s response was included in the Instagram post — right next to a doubtful meme that said, “Sure, Jan.”
“When you keep it real,” read the caption of the post, which also hashtagged Nicole’s name and included the song “Denying” by the Spice Girls.
You can see Ana’s Instagram account, here, among the likes. It’s still there, as of publication.
Needless to say, people thought it was super shady. One Reddit user wrote, “what a sick burn 🙄.” Another said, “Ugh. Shaming people like this is so weird.”
“De Armas is wow, so horrid for this petty crap,” a third fan shared, as someone else said it gave “mean girl vibes.”
“I see some people still haven’t graduated from that high school mentality. How embarrassing at her big age of 37,” a fifth user complained.
Ana has yet to address the situation, but it comes as she and Tom Cruise continue to face dating rumors following multiple appearances together since February. In a May interview on Good Morning America, Ana addressed their relationship and insisted it was purely a “working” one. “It’s so much fun,” she said. A source also told People that she and Tom are “just friends.”
Nicole was married to Tom from 1990 to 2001 and shares two children with him: Isabella, 32, and Connor Cruise, 30.
BuzzFeed has contacted reps for Ana for comment — we’ll let you know if we hear back.
