Adele has become the latest celebrity to face intense online scrutiny after making a rare public appearance at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday, July 5.
The 38-year-old Grammy-winning singer stepped out in her home country for one of her first public appearances in months, marking a return to the UK spotlight nearly two years after announcing her hiatus from the music industry.
However, instead of celebrating her return, many social media users focused on her appearance, even triggering a wave of ageist criticism online.
