What you need to know
Mira Sorvino is accompanied by Kristin Davis.
The 58-year-old actress recently hit back at a fan who accused the Sex and the City star, 60, of being “high on Botox.”
“I will never understand why a woman would do this to herself,” the person wrote in the thread on Thursday, Nov. 13. “She was such a gorgeous woman!! She had so much Botox that it took away her natural and unique features! She doesn’t look like her anymore!”
In response, Sorvino expressed support for Davis.
“When people like you publicly comment on actresses’ looks, you know we’re just humans and feel a lot of pressure,” she wrote. “I think she’s beautiful. I wouldn’t want someone to dissect images of you online, decades apart.”
The Oscar winner concluded his message with, “Let’s not hurt each other, let’s support each other.”

Other users also defended Davis.
“You’re right! Putting Kristin Davis’s face, or anyone else’s, under this kind of microscope and airing criticism only amplifies the very issues she says she’s against,” one person wrote.
Another woman said: “I hope Mira Sorvino doesn’t come up and say something stupid enough to criticize me.”
In a June 2023 interview with The Telegraph, Davis spoke candidly about her use of fillers and Botox, as well as the public attention to her appearance.

“I had filler done and it was terrible. I had to get rid of it and it was ridiculed mercilessly,” she told the outlet. “I’ve shed tears over it. It’s very stressful.”
“It’s hard to remember that it doesn’t have to look like that,” Davis continued. “The internet wants it from you, but at the same time it doesn’t want it from you. They’re very contradictory.”

The actress explained that she no longer cares what others think of her. “Whatever it is. I can’t keep doing it. I don’t have time,” she told the magazine.
“You trust doctors, but when things go wrong, people blame us personally. It’s like I put a needle in my face…” she said.
Davis continued. “For a long time, no one told me I didn’t look good. But luckily I have good friends who eventually did. The problem is, you don’t smile at yourself in the mirror. Who smiles at themselves in the mirror? Crazy people.”
