On Saturday, ‘Top Chef’ host Padma Lakshmi shared a photo on Instagram of her and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg after they allegedly enjoyed a meal together.
The picture was accompanied by the following message:
There are meals in your life you will never forget. Meals you will tell your grandkids about. Last night was one of them. I had dinner with someone I’ve admired for a long long time. And she did not disappoint. Witty and whip smart, she had a twinkle in her eye the whole night. We sipped champagne, savored our gazpacho and crab and talked of India in the 80’s and so much more. A special thank you to the gracious and funny David Hagedorn and his husband Michael Widomski for an evening filled with love and laughter. #dinnerwithRBG #RBG
Considering Ginsburg had recently experienced some serious, and even life-threatening, health complications, she looks remarkably well (and young) in the newly released photo.
Rightfully so, some online skeptics had their doubts on whether this is actually the Supreme Court justice or simply another fake / sloppy Photoshop.
One person ran the image through an EXIF data reader and discovered it was possibly taken on January 23, 2019:
Another viewer noticed a lack of distortion in the way Ginsburg’s bi-focal glasses would normally cause in the natural lines of her face:
Finally, some have pointed out how part of her eyeglass frame appears to be missing:
Sure girl. And I have some oceanfront property in Montana to sell ya. 😂 pic.twitter.com/a0kNsgj5TK
