NEED TO KNOW
Mira Sorvino has Kristin Davis’s back.
The 58-year-old actress recently fired back at a fan who accused the Sex and the City star, 60, of getting “so much Botox.”
“I will never understand why women do this to themselves,” the person wrote on Threads on Thursday, Nov. 13. “She was such a gorgeous woman!! She’s had so much Botox, it took away her original and one of a kind traits! Doesn’t even look like her anymore!”
In a reply, Sorvino stepped in to show support for Davis.
“When people like yourself are publicly commenting on actress’ appearances, you know we are only human and feel a lot of pressure,” she wrote. “I think she looks beautiful, and I think you wouldn’t like it if people were dissecting images of you online taken decades apart.”
The Oscar winner concluded the message with, “Let’s support each other not tear each other down.”

Other users came to Davis’ defense.
“Heck yes! Looking at Kristin Davis’—or anyone’s—face through this kind of microscope and broadcasting a critique is only feeding the very problem she says she’s so against,” one wrote.
Another shared, “I pray I never say something so stupid that Mira Sorvino shows up to call me out on it.”
In a June 2023 interview with The Telegraph, Davis spoke candidly about using fillers and Botox and the public scrutiny of her appearance.

“I’ve done fillers and it’s been bad. I’ve had to get them dissolved and I’ve been ridiculed relentlessly,” she told the outlet. “And I have shed tears about it. It’s very stressful.”
“It’s a challenge to remember that you don’t have to look like that,” Davis continued. “The internet wants you to — but they also don’t want you to. They’re very conflicted.”

The actress explained that she no longer cares what other people think of her. “It’s whatever. I can’t keep it up. I don’t have time,” she told the publication.
“You’re trusting doctors [but] people personally blame us when it goes wrong – [as if] I jabbed a needle in my face…” she said.
Davis continued, “No one told me it didn’t look good for the longest time. But luckily I do have good friends who did say eventually. The thing is you don’t smile at yourself in the mirror. Who smiles at themselves in the mirror? Crazy people.”
