While YouTube fans praised Mihlali for keeping it real, things took a harsher turn on Twitter (X). Some users mocked her appearance, speculating about the cause of her acne.
One person wrote, “This is not a hormonal acne issue. Those glow shots have bad effects, and this is one example of such.” Another added, “This is the result of skin bleaching if you look closely. This is not normal acne.”
Others threw shade with comments like, “So this is how you look without your makeup?”
Despite the negativity, many continued to defend her, saying her transparency sets a positive example for others dealing with skin issues.
