‘Catwoman’ Jocelyn Wildenstein bizarrely insists she ‘never’ had plastic surgery: report
Is she fe-lying?
Jocelyn Wildenstein, the Swiss socialite known as “Catwoman” due to her extensive plastic surgeries, insists in a new interview that she’s never had any such procedure — and even eschews Botox.
“I haven’t had plastic surgery,” the 84-year-old told The Sun Wednesday. “I am scared of what can happen, and I don’t like to have something heavy. Sometimes it is a bit heavy and terrible.”
It has long been assumed, due to her jarring cat-like appearance, that Wildenstein had felt rather cozy on a plastic surgeon’s operating table.
However, she told the outlet she’s a plastic surgery virgin — and even refuses to get any Botox after injections gave her issues.
“I don’t like the Botox. Everyone has a different reaction to it,” she explained. “I have had Botox only twice. I don’t know if I am allergic, but when I had it, it did not go well with me. It was not a good result. My face swelled up. If [other women] want to do it too strong, it doesn’t work well.”
Wildenstein also insisted that she has never used any fillers.
“I never did any fillers. I have some friends who had fillers and were not happy.”
Wildenstein’s claims stand at odds with popular belief and apparent reality —- as Wildenstein has borne an increasingly distinguished and unnatural look as her decades in the public eye have rolled on.
Wildenstein divorced billionaire art dealer Alec Wildenstein in the late 1990s and has been a tabloid staple ever since due to her increasingly cat-like features.
It was said that she began her facial transmogrification because of her late ex-husband, who wanted her to look like a lynx, according to The Sun.
Photos of a younger Wildenstein show off her stunning natural beauty.
Sharp jawline, full lips, high cheekbones and an open, unswollen face are juxtaposed to her modern-day features.
Over the summer, she shared a throwback photo on Instagram showing her before her drastic transformation while wishing her daughter, Diane Wildenstein, a happy birthday.
A 1998 Vanity Fair article claimed that the Wildensteins both went under the knife throughout their high-profile marriage, which spun toward a messy, public divorce in 1999.
The article claims that just a year into their 1978 nuptials, the couple underwent his-and-her eyelifts at the behest of Jocelyn.
“She was crazy,” Alec said at the time, according to the magazine.
“I would always find out last. She was thinking that she could fix her face like a piece of furniture. Skin does not work that way. But she wouldn’t listen.”
