Cousins, following an explosive season of Tyler Perry’s hit original series Sistas, leading actress KJ Smith has taken the time to address online comments regarding her physical appearance!
In a series of tweets, KJ spoke transparently with fans about her personal journey of losing 50 pounds since the series originally debuted in 2019.
“I’ve lost 50 lbs since being introduced on television. I’ve healed many health conditions I was dealing w/. Trust me I’ve always had these cheeks, ask my mama🤣,” KJ responded.
“To note: My makeup artist does a phenomenal job at making me look perfect🙌🏾 That is the character, a perfectionist. I also post and share myself makeup free often. I feel beautiful and Thank You 😊.”
She went on to share further details on how her dermatologist helped her deal with two hormonal pimples on her face.
“I will answer this bc my grandmother asked me the same question and to a certain extent I do feel I owe the people who support me clarity.”
“Before shooting, I had 2 HUGE hormonal pimples on my face (as you can see it’s located where this type of acne presents itself). I went to my dermatologist who then gave me a steroid shot to remove the raised skin/acne. Indents were left as a side affect of the steroid shot,” wrote KJ in a tweet.
“It takes roughly me 3/4 weeks (more for others) for the indents to go away but as we shoot on a 2 week schedule the indents were present the entire shoot. My choice was 2 large pimples or the possibility of the indents. I did what I thought was best for the character. This is why it’s important for me to share my skin routine as I have had acne for most of my life.”
KJ concluded by expressing to fans that she is aging naturally while also dealing with the unwavering pressures of the entertainment business. She asks fellow women to give grace and not judgment.
