Rosie O'Donnell opened up about going under the knife after drawing inspiration from her pal Ricki Lake. The TV star also credited Mounjaro with saving her life amid lifelong weight struggles. Both revelations came in recent interviews with People.
The 64-year-old shared that Lake's public deep plane lower face and neck lift two years ago served as her guide. O'Donnell delayed her own decision for six months while wrestling with feminist concerns and comments from her youngest child Clay.
She told People the real power of feminism means women decide what to do with their bodies. O'Donnell kept the procedure quiet until fans noticed the change and started asking questions.
In a separate interview she explained how Mounjaro quieted her food noise after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis three years ago. The star has lost a pound or two monthly for three years and now feels much healthier and more powerful.
