Instead of celebrating her December cover of True Love magazine, Khanyi Mbau has had to defend her “plastic face”.
Khanyi is very open about her cosmetic surgery, but her cover left fans stunned, with many saying she was unrecognisable.
We think it was a combination of too much contouring, bad Photoshop, and her seemingly changed features, like her nose.
The TV host told the magazine she only used fillers to give her nose a better profile, and it is still 100% her nose.

But why is it anyone’s business if Khanyi changes her looks? After all, when you look good, you feel good, and we are all for women feeling confident about their appearance.

But it seems tweeps (people on Twitter) want the old Khanyi back.
​
Khanyi has proudly been sharing pictures of her True Love cover and some behind-the-scenes shots from the shoot.
She is clearly proud of the cover, and loves the way she looks.

But it does seem like all the hate she received this week did get to her.
She shared an emotional post about women hating on each other on her Instagram account on Thursday.
Women are already getting enough hate from men about their looks (cough, Hugh Masekela), and do not need any more pressure to be anyone other than who they want to be.
So wear your weave with pride!
And if you feel like getting your face done, do you!
And if anyone gives you flak…
It is obvious that Khanyi loves herself, but judging by all the trolling, the real question should be: do you love yourself?
