Amor Vittone slams filter critics: 'People want to do what you do'
Amor Vittone – the widow of the late Joost van der Westhuzien – has clapped back against critics who called her out for using filters on images she posts on social media. The 53-year–old entertainer recently announced that she was working on new music. Speaking on Jacaranda FM last week, Amor Vittone responded to criticism surrounding her images posted on social media. She said: 'Secretly, people want to do what you do…but seemingly judging others. 'Listen, I'm going to use a filter. It's not about me wanting to look young again. But it's me wanting to give the best version of myself. She added, 'It's not about looking different; it's about enhancing what you have. You put on makeup, you do your hair. Confidence is key. And if I'm confident, and I feel pretty, that shines through!' Amor Vittone's youthful face has sparked social media commentary. Images via Facebook: @officialamorvittone While Amor Vittone has dated a plastic surgeon in the past, she has been adamant that she hasn't had any. Late last year, the mother of two shut down speculation about her appearance. In the comments section of one of her posts, she posted: 'Kan julle net relax! Nie Botox of fillers nie. [Can you relax! No botox or filler]. Instead, she credited her picture-perfect snaps to 'good make-up and lighting with slight filter.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
