A lot of X users compliment Connie on looking this great.

“Prof is in the education space. What part of that dont you understand. There you need to lead by example,” one person commented while another added:

“Mind You, they’re both in their 50s but they’ll tell you that Prof is an academic and Connie an actress as if academics don’t have lives outside of academia. Both are women in their 50s who look amazing.”

“This app is so full of hypocrites, their perception always changes depending on who is involved.” a third added.
