Tina Fey reveals why she finds reverse puberty 'disgusting'

Tina Fey recently shared her unfiltered thoughts on “reverse puberty.”

On Thursday, June 4, the 56-year-old American actress and comedian showed up on Today, where she articulated her thoughts about ageing, especially how women feel changes in their body after they stop ovulating.

Fey laughingly said, “I feel like it’s a reverse puberty in a way. It’s like your body starts to change and be disgusting in new ways.”

“When you’re 12 or 13, you’re like, ‘Why am I so oily?’ And now you’re like, ‘Why am I so papery?’” the Mean Girls creator quipped.

She went on to admit that her fellow writers on her show The Four Season immensely encouraged her to pen down her own personal experiences regarding ageing because they all fell in the same age bracket and deeply understood where she was coming from.

“Almost all of us have known each other a super long time, and so all the writers are really good about sharing their own things. Then sometimes our spouses are like, ‘Is that me?’ And then we’ll usually just be like, ‘No, no.’ We’ll just lie and say, ‘That’s so and so,’” Fey explained.
