Jamie Lee Curtis speaks out against plastic surgery

Jamie Lee Curtis has launched a scathing attack on the plastic surgery and beauty enhancement industry.

In a photoshoot cum interview with The Guardian, the Oscar-winning actress took aim at what she calls a "cosmeceutical industrial complex" that she says has deeply harmed women’s self-image.

“I’ve been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who’ve disfigured themselves,” she told the outlet.

When asked to clarify why she termed it as “genocide,” Curtis didn’t back down. “I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance],” she said.

The Freaky Friday and Everything Everywhere All at Once star expressed deep concern over the normalization of altering appearances through surgery, chemicals, and fillers.

“There’s a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances,” she said.

Curtis also pointed to artificial intelligence and beauty filters on social media as further fueling unrealistic standards.

“And there are too many examples,” she said of public figures promoting artificial beauty norms. “I will not name them, but very recently, we have had a big onslaught through media, many of those people.”
