‘Catwoman’ Jocelyn Wildenstein, known for extreme plastic surgery addiction, dead at 84

Jocelyn Wildenstein, the New York socialite nicknamed “The Catwoman,” has died. She was 84.

Her partner, Lloyd Klein, reportedly told AFP that Wildenstein died of a pulmonary embolism in a Parisian palace on Tuesday, per Daily Mail.

A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot that blocks and stops blood flow to an artery in a lung, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The blood clot typically forms in a deep vein in a person’s leg and then travels to the lung. In rare cases, the clot can form in a vein in another part of the body.

Wildenstein, known for her catlike features and addiction to plastic surgery, first made headlines in the late ’90s when she divorced her wealthy art collector husband, Alec Wildenstein, after discovering him “in bed with a 19-year-old Russian model.”

This desire of people to self-maim is not rooted in the desire to change their appearance nearly as much as it is related to a mental disturbance.

Look at this woman-a very attractive woman, but what she turned herself into...

I found this example particularly sad, but it is in no way unique, IMO.

I have sprayed my bed with “Model-B-Gone”, but it does not seem to work.

There is an old saying that you never know what a person sees when they look in the mirror at themselves.

However, by 2018, the vast fortune was gone. Wildenstein filed for bankruptcy in New York, writing in an affidavit, “I am not employed and my only income is Social Security.”

She added, “I often turn to friends and family in order to pay my ongoing expenses.”

FYI, these are before and after images of this poor woman:

She needed psychiatric help, not a series of unscrupulous and/or incompetent Plastic Surgeons.

In the late ‘90s, she was a very mad person, although the divorce settlement might’ve made her a somewhat glad person.

Never heard much about her other than about her plastic surgery. Sending prayers for those who love her.

With a look like that last pic, she would be highly qualified for certain professions, but most those professions could not be spoken of in polite company.

Said another way:
“She was a very Freaky Girl.
The kind you don’t take home to Mama!”

I think she was a very sad person.

And I hold these plastic surgeons responsible for feeding into these obviously sick peoples problems. They share in the maiming of Americans and sicko’s across the world!!!

That's just sad.

It's sad too that someone thinks she has to mutilate her body to feel good about herself.

When the love of Christ gets down into your heart, you realizes you don’t need to do anything to yourself outwardly to please anyone else. You are accepted by the creator the way you are and that’s good enough. Society acceptance of your outside looks mean nothing.

Apparently she let the world define her instead of the creator God.
