90210 Star Age Criticism: Shenae Grimes-Beech, known for “Degrassi” and “90210,” addressed critics on Instagram who claim she has aged poorly. In a candid video, the 33-year-old mom of two urged for greater transparency on cosmetic treatments and criticized the internet for promoting unrealistic beauty standards. Grimes-Beech supports plastic surgery and injections but wants more open discussion to avoid misunderstandings.
Grimes-Beech mentioned her forehead and eye lines, noting that women over 30 who don’t have them likely had facial injections. She also mentioned her interest in these treatments but emphasized the importance of honesty about the procedures. “You’re comparing it to people who have had chemicals injected into their faces to avoid age and genetics lines,” she said.
The actress often receives comments about her appearance when she shares old clips from her past roles. I’m just aging. “I’m 34 with two kids, what do you expect?” she wrote on Instagram. Grimes-Beech was concerned about people losing touch with reality due to constant exposure to idealized images on social media.
Grimes-Beech also criticized the lack of transparency in the beauty industry, especially among influencers who hide cosmetic procedures while suggesting products. “We’re accustomed to people with fillers and Botox sharing skincare tips and makeup tricks for a youthful, flawless appearance, leading us to believe it’s achievable without injections,” she said.

She supports those who choose plastic surgery for self-improvement.

She emphasized that “transparency is crucial for beauty standards.”
Grimes-Beech has two children: a daughter named Bowie Scarlett and a son named Kingsley Taylor. She wed British model Josh Beech in May 2013. Her plea for honesty and realistic beauty standards comes amidst growing discussions on body image and self-acceptance. This makes her one of many who desire a more honest and open view of beauty and aging.
