Rosie ODonnell Admits Shameful Secret Facelift

has revealed she had a secret after vowing to never get plastic surgery.

The 64-year-old comedian -- wrote a very personal essay on her Substack about the guilt and shame she felt after going under the knife earlier this year. 

O'Donnell candidly wrote: 'I used to feel very strongly about facelifts. Not casually — morally. I had assigned myself as head of all women who would never - ever. 

'I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide. And then I lost 50 pounds.

'It wasn’t wrinkles— it was gravity. I’d look in the mirror and think, this isn’t aging, this is melting with intention. I tried to be evolved about it. And say things like, "This is natural. This is earned." And then… "umm how earned does it have to look?" There’s a point where acceptance starts to feel like lying.'

O'Donnell revealed that she started doing her own research and her 13-year-old daughter Clay was not a fan of the decision.

She wrote: 'Then my 13-year-old child found out. And it was not subtle. 'You earned your wrinkles.' Which — first of all — rude. But also… correct.

'Then Clay said, "Young women look up to you," And finally — with strong effect — "I wouldn’t be able to respect you if you did it." And that one… landed. That's a big statement from someone who still needs you to open jars.'

O'Donnell fled the US last year after President Trump threatened to revoke her citizenship following her move to Ireland; (pictured 2024)
