Rosie O'Donnell gets honest about her 'very expensive' facelift surgery: 'People are lying'

Rosie O’Donnell is opening up about her facelift surgery and revealed why she finally decided to be vocal about it.

​The 64-year-old comedian first openly talked about her surgery on her Substack last month, noting that she was ashamed of her facelift, which cost her more than she ever invested in a vehicle.

​Now, during her recent appearance at the Tony Awards in New York City on Sunday night, Rosie shared more details publicly and got honest about how she feels about her plastic surgery procedure.

​Speaking to E! News on the red carpet, Rosie said, “Authenticity is the goal in these days and times, and people are lying about everything all day to the American public.”

​“It’s very depressing to me and unsettling, and I think all that matters is truth and love, and so I wanted to be truthful and say all the complicated emotions I had about it.”

​The Harriet the Spy star further revealed that her teenage daughter even protested her decision of surgery.

​“My little autistic 13-year-old said to me, ‘If you do it, I would not be able to respect you ever again,'” she noted. “And that put me off it for a few months, but then when I went and did it in January, I came home 10 days later, and they never noticed.”

​Rosie admitted that she finds it more convenient to unveil her surgery herself before any media outlet reports it.

​“I just wanted to say, ‘This is what I did, and here’s the doctor, and if you want to. But it’s very expensive — it’s more expensive than any car I ever bought, but I can’t drive around in my face.”

​And Rosie does not have any further plans to get more plastic surgery, as the issue she wanted to resolve, loose skin on her face, has gone now.

​“I’m on Monjaro over the last three years; I have diabetes too, and I lost over 50 pounds, and that was responsible for a lot of the extra skin that I had around my face, she added.
