@323i criticised:

“She is 50, so whether she has a hot body or not doesn't matter because she is someone's grandmother. What should matter to her is catching up with women her age over a cup of tea on how their kids are doing and how naughty grandkids are.”

@NationalUncle remarked:

“She has a beautiful body compared to her age mates, but this is unnecessary; she's almost 50, and she's out here thirst-trapping.”

@Maboozar1 applauded:

“Yes, she has a beautiful body that she worked hard for, and we enjoy seeing the results😎”

@nordienmn asked:

“Why is she screaming like a mad woman, dressed up like a hobo?”

@_asemahle_n said:

“She does look good and healthy. ‘Hot’ is a stretch.”
