Kate Winslet and ScarJo wrote viral Facebook posts about body image -- but there's a catch

WOMEN ARE SHARING no make-up selfies after Facebook posts written by Kate Winslet and Scarlett Johansson went insanely viral.
Last week, Winslet shared a barefaced selfie and wrote about not letting get the “haters” get her down.
Johansson followed her lead and told fans that they need to learn to love themselves.
The posts have received hundreds of thousands of likes and shares. Countless women have been inspired to share no make-up selfies in the comments underneath.
Media outlets like Huffington Post, Bustle and The Mirror even shared the messages.
The only problem?
Neither Winslet nor Johansson wrote the posts. They’re both fake accounts.

The pages were originally titled “Kate Winslet” and “Scarlett Johansson” hence why so many fans were fooled into believing they were legit.
Both posts used photos from an old Vanity Fair shoot and quotes falsely attributed to the actresses.
A few telltale signs that they’re not the real deal?
For one thing, we don’t think that Kate Winslet would use an official social media account to talk about Kylie Jenner’s appearance.

Nor do we think either actress would use her clout to drive likes to a Facebook page devoted to sharing viral content about dogs.
