Anne Twist, the mother of the popstar, took to Instagram to defend her son after fans complained about his new buzz cut.

Earlier this month, a photo of what appeared to be Harry Styles sporting a drastic new haircut at a U2 concert in Las Vegas quickly made its way across the interwebs.

For the most part, fans seemed to be stuck in the "denial" stage of the grieving process.


People online wasted no time expressing their disapproval of Styles parting ways with his signature locks, claiming they preferred his hair "As It Was."


Then came a more recent, not-at-all blurry photo shared on Instagram by Styles' gender-neutral beauty brand Pleasing, which the three-time Grammy winner launched in 2021.

The 29-year-old heartthrob definitely had a shorter 'do while attending a launch party in London for Pleasing's new fragrance line.

Photo-confirmed and made public on Instagram.


Cue the frenzy, along with more hurtful comments.

But one person who won't stand for all the criticism is the singer's own mother, and she made quite a valid point.

Anne Twist took to Instagram to address the backlash over her son's new buzz cut, noting Styles' "legacy of kindness and inclusion":

"When you consider that H has a legacy of kindness and inclusion, has always made every effort to make everyone feel seen and appreciated for exactly who they are … there’s an irony in the negativity he’s been shown for having a haircut."

She finished:

"Sorry but I don’t get it 🤷🏻♀️"


On the second slide, Twist included a humorous "let's uncrap that" rewrite of a what looked like a New York Post headline:

"Harry Styles fans shocked over shaved head reveal: ‘Ruined my entire life’"

To which Twist added:

"Breaking news: It's hair! It's his!"
"Also it will grow back. If he wants."

Fans agreed with Twist, applauding her for calling out the unnecessary backlash.











Mama really does know best. Treat people with kindness!

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
