The mental health epidemic that we are facing and that I cover often.
And I want to be gentle in discussing this next topic because the last time I talked about what people are doing to their faces, people were very upset with me.
And I promise you guys, no matter what you think of me, I am not going to take your Botox from you.
But I do want to talk about the fact that everybody is starting to look the same on
the Internet and women are no longer able to see themselves.
As a great example of that, recently Sia, you definitely know her music even if you
don't recognize her face, largely because she's been covering her face for years.
Well, she revealed that the reason why she covered her face and wore so many disguises
is because she had body image issues.
But now that she's undergone a facelift, she's no longer going to mask her face.
Now here is what is shocking.
This is a picture of Sia before she decided to undergo a facelift.
And here is a picture of her after the facelift, where she looks like your standard Instagram
filter.
Well, a person that I follow on Twitter retweeted commentary from a man regarding this phenomenon
of every woman going into the doctor and getting the exact same face.
There's no differences anymore.
He wrote this.
Entirely unrelated to anything.
Just to be clear, this is written by a young man named Alexander Cortez.
Entirely unrelated to anything.
I was at the gym the other day and I overheard a conversation between two young women.
One of them had recently gotten lip fillers, had the fish lip look, was trying to convince
her friend to do it. Her face looked distorted. It was completely unnecessary. I hate this trend so
I've seen this trend of filter face and homogenized beauty take over the past few years.
It completely erases everything that makes your face look unique.
You take something good and beautiful and you ruin it by trying to make it fit a hellish algorithm seen through a phone camera.
I mean this sincerely.
Love yourself as you are and honor the body and face that you have.
Your ancestors would be rolling in their graves to see What some of you do to yourselves.
I can't think of a better way to describe this, this phenomenon that I'm seeing on Instagram, other than to call it a hellish algorithm, because it is.
Every woman looks the same.
It's like we've just said, okay, this is the algorithm that we're going to give ourselves to.
This is a face that we have decided is perfect, according to that algorithm, which was likely...
Honestly, concocted in Silicon Valley.
And so we're all going to go to the doctor and say, I want to look like this.
And it obviously began with the Kardashian empire, the power that they got.
Kylie Jenner was a major contributor to this.
The phenomenon goes on and on.
And it's interesting to me only because men don't seem to like it, right?
Men say that I don't find this to be attractive.
I'm going to show you this algorithm has become so worldwide that even some men are engaging in it.
However, as one such example, Simon Cowell.
Here's a picture of Simon Cowell before he got Botox and God knows what else.
And here is a picture of what Simon Cowell looks like now.
This is terrifying.
This should terrify you.
This is not how a normal person looks.
His... Forehead is way too smooth.
His eyebrows obviously can't move, so when he smiles, they oddly are staying straight and almost pointing downwards.
His eyes don't look good. And what's strange about men that engage in this is everybody knows that men get hotter as they age.
Men age like a nice red wine.
They actually look better with a It's your husband turning 50 in the salt and pepper phase.
Simon Cowell was a good-looking, aging man.
He could have gone the route of George Clooney.
We decided to stop that because he gave in to the algorithm.
He gave in to the hellish algorithm.
Same can be said for Renee Zellweger.
Here's a picture of her before looking, I think, very beautiful and unique on the left.
And here's what she has done to her face since.
Now, I want to be clear.
I don't mean this to insult any of these people.
In fact, I feel bad even covering it because for them to say that they feel that they have to do this, to keep up with Hollywood trends, they're so fearful of aging that they had become convinced that kind of...
Attempting to stop the aging process but to look like something otherworldly is a better option, and it so clearly is not.
I'm only talking about this because I'm hoping that if enough people hear this and look at this and look at these people's before and afters, recognize that you're not upgrading.
You don't actually look better.
You're spending way too much time looking at yourself in the mirror trying to stop wrinkles that actually make you look more beautiful and make you look more unique.
And you have to figure out why it is that you develop such a hateful relationship with yourself that you want to stop the aging process in its tracks.
The most beautiful women that I have seen, I am being honest, are women that age much more naturally.
I'm not talking about people that are lightly doing it.
Okay, fine. I get it.
Some people want to do that because they think it makes them look better, and sometimes it does.
But then there seems to be going overboard, right?
And we know what we're talking about.
We know these individuals that we're talking about that we see.
And they get to a place where suddenly they're 60 years old and they think that they can stop the aging process.
And at the end, let me tell you, the aging process is going to win and you're going to look like a freak.
And that is what is happening to a lot of these people, unfortunately.
