Rosie O’Donnell opens up about her facelift and why she wanted to be honest
The legendary host shares the personal reasons behind documenting her recent cosmetic procedure
While attending the Tony Awards, Rosie O'Donnell caught up with E! News to talk about theater, upcoming projects, and her decision to publicly share her recent facelift. O'Donnell explained that in a time when dishonesty feels unsettlingly common, prioritizing truth and authenticity with her fans was incredibly important. She wanted to outrun the tabloids by controlling her own narrative and discussing the complex emotions tied to the procedure.
The comedian revealed that losing over 50 pounds on Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes left her with extra skin, causing people to constantly ask if she was sad. Though her 13-year-old daughter initially protested the cosmetic surgery, O'Donnell ultimately went through with it in January. Beyond her candid beauty revelations, O'Donnell shared her excitement for watching the theater awards from the audience and teased a new one-woman show coming this summer.
