Rosie O'Donnell is opening up about her facelift journey and shared a before-and-after photo of her transformation.(snip)
In an essay titled "decisions," which is formatted like a song or poem, the 64-year-old talked about why she decided to get a facelift and the internal conflict she faced afterwards over whether to publicly disclose why she went through with the procedure.
"I used to feel very strongly about facelifts," she began. "Not casually -- morally. I had assigned myself as head of all women who would never -- ever."
She went on, "I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide. And then I lost 50 pounds…"
The "League of Their Own" star then said that the weight loss was what led to her face also transforming, which she said was "melting with intention."
"I tried to be evolved about it. and say things like, 'This is natural. This is earned,'" O'Donnell wrote. "And then… 'umm how earned does it have to look?' There's a point where acceptance starts to feel like lying."
She said that a conversation with her child, Clay, challenged her, when the 13-year-old told her that she had "earned" her wrinkles and the teen "wouldn't be able to respect" her if she did it.
"It threw me -- it really did," O'Donnell said. "I delayed the whole thing for months, changing my mind talking to friends just sitting with it, thinking. And then I had this quiet realization … if I'm teaching clay anything, it can't be that my body belongs to an idea either. Even a good idea. Even feminism."

Barbara Hershey jacked up her lips a while back. She was gorgeous.
She needs a new mirror, probably bigger too.
It’s interesting to remember that Gloria Swanson, playing the role of the washed-up Norma Desmond, was all of 49 when Sunset Boulevard was filmed.
That’s exactly what I thought. About the only difference is the 2nd photo looks like she might be able to smile if she wanted to.
Another thing about Hollywood that is out of touch with reality. In many cases, the women were still attractive, but that’s not enough in their little bubble.
It’s both sad and funny that she was so tortured about justifying going through with this, because her leftist brain is so hard-wired that it’s traitorous to “Feminism!”
I presume she’s using this as evidence in a suit against the surgeon.
Obviously I don’t like Rosie…
…but good on her for losing 50 pounds, and her facial work doesn’t seem excessive.
“I’m not seeing the transformation.”
That’s because the eyes are still evil.
“good on her for losing 50 pounds”
True, even if was the easy way out, with Ozempic. Hence the need for the facelift.
“No change … no change at all!”
LOL
Why would you want to look uglier ?
Ozempic face
Rosie, I don’t see much difference.
No, wait ... her doc should sue HER.
She took ozempic, and the face without fat/muscles is a side effect.
The Ozempic face side effect is a very real phenomenon. Looks like she had a few fillers out back in to her cheeks.
Not enough money to fix that. 😵
