In reality, these trolls took to X (formerly known as Twitter), insulting her looks and making awful comments about her physical appearance. Sadly, these comments are commonplace for most celebrities, though they shouldn’t be.
Lately, Field has brushed off the comments, disclosing how she still prefers to age naturally, regardless of what people say about her.
Field has also been dealing with her silent illness, osteoporosis – something she was diagnosed with before turning 60 in 2005, but an issue she rarely speaks about.
Women are sadly more susceptible to this horrible illness because of the hormonal changes they face during menopause, and this can lead to a decrease in bone density. No matter what Field did – from maintaining a healthy lifestyle to exercising regularly – there was no way for her to prevent the diagnosis, she told WebMD.
“I always knew I fit the risk profile. I was thin, small boned, Caucasian, and heading towards age 60. But I was amazed at how quickly a woman could go from being at risk to having full-fledged osteoporosis,” the actress said.
“My bones appeared to be getting steadily thinner without any signs or symptoms I could see or feel.”
Given her battle with osteoporosis, it’s sad to see Field being bu::llied on the internet, especially by people who don’t even know her. Despite that, her commitment to aging gracefully is an inspiration to those who choose to do the same.
