Meg Ryan Breaks Social Media Hiatus with New Photo after Fans Blasted Her Last Public Appearance

Meg Ryan treated her fans to a recent photo of herself after staying inactive on social media for over a year. However, her latest public appearance went awry, with fans commenting on her changing looks.

Once a mainstay of Hollywood, "Top Gun" actress Meg Ryan retreated from the limelight several years ago, making only occasional public appearances.

To the delight of her followers, Ryan recently broke her lengthy hiatus and shared a snapshot of herself with stylists.

The "When Harry Met Sally" actress sat on the floor, donned in a stylish sleeveless pantsuit with a plunging neckline.

Her fanbase welcomed her return with open arms. One fan said, "Welcome back we missed u crazily 😍😍😍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️."

While another added, "You were one of the best. Not sure why [you] left except maybe [to] raise kids. I get that. Welcome back."

Speculation regarding future ventures sparked excitement among her followers. One such comment read, "Cannot wait for your new film! Been a fan since your days on the soaps❤️ Iconic👏👏👏."

Meg Ryan Received Backlash for Looking Unrecognizable in Last Sighting

In early May, Ryan attended a screening of Michael J. Fox's documentary, marking a rare public outing. Yet, the focus shifted from her appearance to unsolicited remarks about her looks.

One remark read, "I'd never know this is Meg Ryan if they hadn't said who's in the photo with Michael J. Fox, plastic surgery has ruined her looks, she look (sic) hideous."

Another user wrote, "What happened with Meg's face? Thought that was Mickey Rourke for a second," while another poster noted, "We'll never see that iconic face again, it's gone."

The "Ithaca" director had previously addressed criticism about her aging and said:

"I don't pay a lot of attention frankly. There's a lot of hatred in the world today, it's easy to judge. Imagine being a hater, how stupid!"

Vassi Chamberlain, the features director for Porter Magazine, believed the criticism about Ryan's changing appearance likely hurt the actress.

Ryan left her star-studded career to pursue a quieter, happier life. She shared, "I wasn't as curious about acting as I was about other things that life can give you. I want to live more." Raising her son, now actor Jack Quaid, subsequently became her utmost priority.

Project offers rarely came to her in her later years but she said she didn't want to do them.

Now, Ryan is set to re-enter the industry, directing and starring in the forthcoming romantic comedy "What Happens Later" alongside David Duchovny.
