Rosie O’Donnell is opening up about undergoing a secret facelift earlier this year, admitting the cosmetic procedure left her feeling both grateful and conflicted. According to media sources, the 64 year old comedian and former talk show host revealed in a Substack post that she underwent a lower deep plane facelift in January, describing it as a procedure that “cost more money than I have ever paid for a car.”

“My privileged place in this world,” O’Donnell wrote. “And that feels almost shameful to me.”

The actress explained that for most of her life, she strongly opposed cosmetic surgery and once considered facelifts a betrayal of feminism and aging naturally.

“I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide,” she wrote.

However, after losing nearly 50 pounds, O’Donnell said her feelings about cosmetic procedures began to change.

She struggled internally with the idea for quite some time and even discussed it with her youngest daughter Clay, 13, who initially advised against it.

“Young women look up to you,” Clay reportedly told her.

O’Donnell admitted the conversation deeply affected her because her daughter sounded “exactly like” her younger self.

Still, the comedian ultimately decided to move forward with the surgery after extensive research and choosing a doctor recommended by friends.

She clarified that she never wanted to become obsessed with cosmetic enhancements or constantly chase perfection.

“I didn’t want to become that voice, the one that keeps moving the goalpost, never satisfied,” she explained.

Surprisingly, O’Donnell claimed almost nobody noticed she had undergone surgery.

“Not one person. Not a friend, not a stranger,” she wrote, adding that even her daughter had not commented on the change.

Despite being happy with the subtle results, O’Donnell admitted she still feels conflicted about the decision and continues to wrestle with feelings of guilt and dishonesty.

“There’s a sense of deceit I’m struggling with,” she shared.

O’Donnell concluded her reflection by saying she is simply grateful to still be alive and able to speak openly about her experiences as she moves through what she called “act 3” of her life.

Matthew Perry’s family is speaking out ahead of the sentencing of the late actor’s longtime assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, accusing him of betraying the trust of both Perry and his loved ones. According to media sources, Perry’s mother Suzanne Morrison and his half-sisters Caitlin and Madeline Morrison submitted emotional victim impact statements before Iwamasa’s May 27 sentencing in connection with the actor’s 2023 ketamine overdose death. Iwamasa, who had worked for Perry for more than two decades, pleaded guilty in 2024 to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death. Prosecutors are reportedly seeking a 41 month prison sentence.

In her statement, Madeline Morrison described the devastating emotional impact of discovering the truth about her brother’s final moments.

“The idea that someone my brother considered family could betray him in such an unimaginable way is something I never could have conceived,” she wrote.

According to the report, Madeline said the family initially trusted Iwamasa completely and believed his version of events following Perry’s death. However, after learning details from investigators, she said it felt like “Matthew died all over again.”

She also recalled visiting Perry’s home shortly after his death and noticing Iwamasa behaving nervously while repeatedly offering explanations about what happened.

“In reality, he was trying to distract us from the truth,” she alleged in the statement referenced by Entertainment Weekly.

It was further noted that Madeline accused Iwamasa of injecting Perry with ketamine and “leaving him in a hot tub to die,” a claim that has intensified public scrutiny surrounding the case.

Caitlin Morrison also expressed outrage in her own statement, saying she had “no sympathy” for Iwamasa. She reportedly questioned whether Perry’s fatal overdose was truly accidental and accused the assistant of abandoning the actor while he was vulnerable.

Matthew Perry’s mother Suzanne Morrison thanked investigators and the court for uncovering the truth behind her son’s death. However, she also acknowledged that there is no such thing as closure after losing a child.

“Nothing takes this pain away,” she wrote.

Perry, best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, died in October 2023 at the age of 54. His death shocked fans worldwide and sparked a major investigation into the people accused of supplying and administering ketamine to the actor during his ongoing struggles with addiction.
