‘Gina on Lifetime Looking Like George Lopez’: Fans Say Tisha Campbell Looks Unrecognizable After the Actress Debuts Her New Look In New Film

Tisha Campbell decided to trade in her beloved honey-blond hairstyle for a more rigid look that has fans turning their heads. 

The “My Wife and Kids” star recently starred in Lifetime’s new movie release “Every Breath She Takes” alongside “Stomp The Yard” actor Brian White and “The Wood” actress Tamala Jones. 

In the film, Campbell plays Detective Charice Walker, an investigator who is determined to find out if Jones’ character, Jules Baker, killed her abusive husband, Billy, played by White.

While the Darin Scott film appeared to have a solid premise, several fans couldn’t take their attention away from the 54-year-old’s peculiar gel-like hairdo.

Throughout the thriller, Campbell wore a jet-black wig that was cut into a short coiffure as a flipped bang covered part of her forehead. 

@Sippinthemontea shared three screenshots of the mother of two’s hairstyle onto their Instagram page and compared her look to the late-night host of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” The outlet wrote in their caption, “#TishaCampbell and this Jimmy Fallon wig.”

Fans in the comment section brought up Campbell’s role on “Martin,” and many equated her look to that of Mexican-American comedian George Lopez. 

“Somebody said ‘Gina on lifetime looking like George Lopez’ come on.”

“Lmaooo She Look Like George Lopez.”

Other individuals decided to mention that Campbell’s wig resembled the type of wigs filmmaking billionaire Tyler Perry has the actors in his movies wear. 

“That wig, makes Tyler Perry’s wig crew look competent” 

“Lifetime count your days. Why y’all got Gina looking like Fred Flinston in this Tyler perry studios wig?”

Perry is not associated with the Lifetime film, but he has faced major backlash from fans who have winced while watching the director’s films and series due to his choice of hairstyles. 

Fans have made Perry aware of their critical opinions on various social media platforms, so much so that the “Alex Cross” star has previously spoken out about the negative comments he received. 

“I don’t know how to do hair,” he said while talking to TV Line. “I hire people to do hair. Pay them $65 an hour.”

He continued, “I’m paying them to do their job, and they’re doing that. They’re doing a great job. Sometimes, things slip because I move a little fast, but they get it done.” 

While fans have voiced their displeasure with Campbell’s hairstyle, she has not given the criticism any attention but has urged everyone to check out the drama in her recent Instagram post.

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.
