“I would never spend that on a car.”

- Rosie O’Donnell came clean about the cost of her facelift in a new interview.
- “I don’t like to waste money,” she said.
- In May, O’Donnell revealed that she went under the knife.
Two months after revealing that she underwent a facelift, Rosie O’Donnell is opening up about how much it cost. In a new interview, the comedian admitted it was more than she would ever pay for an automobile.
“So why do I look like this? $90,000,” O’Donnell told People. “I was worried about the cost. I don’t like to waste money. I would never spend that on a car.”
The actress decided not to make her facelift public until “everyone” began complimenting her appearance. “I didn’t want to be one of those people who says, ‘Oh, nothing,’” O’Donnell said.
She also shared her reasoning for going through with the procedure.
“I lost so much weight that I had a lot of excess skin here [pointing to her chin], and it made me look sad,” O’Donnell, who recently relocated from the United States to Ireland, recalled. “People in Ireland said, ‘Rosie, are you all right, love?’ I’m like, ‘It’s my face. I actually feel happy here.’”
“I didn’t want my face to be frozen. I had to wrestle with myself because as a feminist I always felt this is the male gaze and not anything I believe in,” she continued.
The A League of Their Own star explained that her youngest child, Clay, was against her getting the surgery.
“Clay said, ‘Mommy, girls look up to you. What does your legacy stand for if you do this?’ I changed my mind for six months and then decided the real power of feminism [is] to decide what we want to do with our bodies and when,” O’Donnell declared.
Luckily for her, Clay still hasn’t noticed that she went under the knife: “I hope they don’t,” O’Donnell said. “But you never know.”
