Vanna White’s fans rushed to her defense after online trolls attacked the longtime “Wheel of Fortune” co-host’s appearance at a recent golf event.
The beloved TV personality attended the PGA’s annual ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic in South Carolina last week.
A video of White, 69, speaking to a crowd at the tournament was shared on Instagram on May 6.
She dressed casually for the event, wearing a golf shirt and green pants with her iconic blond hair tied into a ponytail behind her back.
Rather than celebrate the “Wheel of Fortune” mainstay, several users rushed to the comments section to attack the mom of two over her laid-back look.
“Crazy how old she got. Look at her arms. I hate getting old,” one rude person wrote, while another added, “Her hands look 90.”
“Wow, I can’t believe how much she aged. She looks older than she is,” commented a third, while yet another disrespectful person wrote, “I think this is AI. I don’t believe she looks like this.”
White’s fans, however, quickly flooded the Instagram clip’s comments section to defend the “Wheel of Fortune” fashionista and celebrate how good she still looks.
“These comments are unbelievable,” one person wrote. “She’s a 69-year-old beautiful, kind woman whose highest priority in life has not been chasing every wrinkle, unlike most celebrities now. She’s an icon!”
“It’s sad when people make such rude comments about aging!” added another. “Vanna, you look great!”
“Love Vanna. Always so gracious. And beautiful,” shared a third, while a fourth commented, “She looks good. Aging gracefully. Doesn’t look phony and plastic.”
White’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The actress, who tied the knot with longtime partner John Donaldson in January, has co-hosted “Wheel of Fortune” for over 40 years.
She officially joined the show in December 1982 as the hit game show’s lovely letter-turner, and remained as co-host after Ryan Seacrest took over for longtime host Pat Sajak in September 2024.
But White wouldn’t be the only “Wheel of Fortune” star to get attacked over their appearance, because Seacrest was also criticized for his “sickly” look at a charity event earlier this month.
“Ryan, your fans are worried about your appearance,” one person wrote alongside snaps of the “American Idol” host, 51, at this year’s Taste for a Cure fundraiser. “You have lost your spark with the extensive weight loss.”
“Looks sickly,” commented another, while a third said that Seacrest looked “scary” at the charity event.
Fans, meanwhile, also rushed to Seacrest’s defense.
A source close to the “Wheel of Fortune” host told Page Six that he is “doing and looking fantastic” and “any stories saying otherwise are false.”
