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."

Now post Helen Thomas to cleanse my visual palette
This is a trick, isn’t it? Tell us a before and after scenario that doesn’t exist. There’s no difference between the two. She should probably contact a lawyer about a lawsuit. She got “taken to the cleaners” by the so called Doctor. Both pictures are hideous no matter what. Ugh!
I guess she plans to sneak back into the US.
FR should be a “No Rosie” zone. spit
Inside...nothing has changed.
“ The “League of Their Own” star…”
That statement is made so casually, as if everyone has seen the movie and perceives her making an enduring impact on entertainment.
That movie came out 1992, 34 years ago. She wasn’t the lead actress and there’s no memorable scenes or quotes from it that are used to this day. I really don’t know why Ms. O’Donnell is given any spotlight today whatsoever.
To the picture- she wrestled with a decision that made zero impact? Again, who cares?
The lines from the corners of her mouth to her chin are less. It also looks like she may have gotten cheek filler. It’s not as bad or overdone as some celebrities we’ve seen.
Probably a road grader.
Outstanding job by the surgeon.
There is no crying in baseball!
I just ate dude. 😡😩
Can’t fix ugly, especially when it starts on the inside and moves outward!
same bitter soul... no lifting is gonna take care of that..
That woman’s face seems out of proportion. She has too much face from the top of her forehead to her top lip.
She has a long nose and small chin.
Not attractive at all.
Before and after, which is witch?
She looks great !!
Just kidding
Nothing can fix that ugly face.
I give.
