“How does it feel to be 19 again? #freshskin #lookingbrandnew ,” one person let her know.

“You have a pretty face so this works for you really well. ,” wrote someone else.

“Natural Beauty at it’s FINEST😍,” a third person commented.

“You are an absolute vision in your natural state!😍😍😍😍,” someone else stated.

Then another fan brought up Mowry-Hardrict’s twin sister Tamera Mowry-Housley.

“Now we can definitely tell you guys apart 😍,” that person wrote.

In related news, Deadline reports that Mowry-Hardrict’s show “The Game” won’t be returning to television after it was reported in December that it would be re-launched on the CW.

It’s being said the network did an about-face because execs weren’t pleased with the pilot script written by Mara Brock Akil, who created the show. However, the CW is reportedly open to reworking it with Akil.

“The Game” ran for nine seasons, first on the CW, then it aired on BET before it went off the air in 2015.

News of the show not returning hasn’t been a heavy topic of discussion in the comments of Mowry-Hardrict’s recent Instagram post, because it seems people would rather discuss her hairdo.

“True liberation 😍😍😍,” someone wrote about the actress’ big chop.

“Ok. I’m next. You just inspired me,” wrote another follower.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
