Ricki Lake Calls Out Rosie O'Donnell's Big Cosmetic Surgery Reversal

Ricki Lake said longtime friend Rosie O’Donnell initially questioned her decision to get a facelift in 2024, but later underwent the same procedure after losing significant weight. Lake, 58, discussed the experience on “The Weekend View,” saying she lost 40 pounds naturally without pharmaceutical help and chose surgery because gravity changed the lower face and neck. She said she wasn’t trying to look “20,” and noted she embraced her natural gray hair and age. Lake claimed O’Donnell challenged her decision, only to later get her own facelift, which O’Donnell confirmed in a May Substack post and discussed on Instagram. O’Donnell wrote that her outlook shifted after losing 50 pounds, emphasizing gravity rather than wrinkles. Lake said she had a deep-plane lower face and neck lift and a CO2 laser, naming Los Angeles surgeon Dr. Alan Foulad.
