Comments by Netizens

Netizens, however, had mixed opinions on the contrary. While some thought as a thoughtful and kind gesture, others slammed the actress for an alleged PR stunt. A user commented on Reddit, “Definitely a PR stunt…”look at me, i’m such a down to earth and nice person. I’m not above working in a donut shop with regular people.” Another user commented on her hair, “I worked in food service for decades. Back in the day we had to contain our hair from getting in the food.” Another person exclaimed, “If this he is her happy place, maybe she should open her own bakery and stop trying to be an actress. There are plenty of people who’d love to be on set in the roles she’s tanked.”
