The host of ITV’s The Price of Perfection says our idols don’t owe us an explanation, but if they’re going to comment then they owe us the truth.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-name” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Black Han Sans|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font=”|||on|||||” header_4_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

While a lot of media savvy stars know when to turn a blind eye to invasive criticism, some choose the opposite approach.<\/p>\n Lohan, for example, recently rebutted face lift rumours and credited her flawless complexion to \u2018juice and chia seeds\u2019. Jenner might not have responded to the latest rumours of a \u2018\u00a3100k face lift\u2019, but she went under the knife on camera in 2011 on Keeping Up With The Kardashians<\/em>. Her daughter Kylie launched a billion-dollar beauty empire off the back of rumours she had lip filler in 2015, after originally attributing her larger lips to \u2018pouting\u2019 and \u2018over-lining\u2019. She later admitted to having filler. In 2023, Amy Schumer called out stars using weight-loss jabs and claiming they had simply been eating \u2018smaller portions\u2019, telling them to \u2018be real with the people\u2019.<\/p>\n For presenter and podcaster Olivia Attwood, 34, discussion about her appearance has been rife the entirely of her time in the public eye, since appearing on Love Island<\/em> in 2016.\u00a0 Attwood has always chosen to be honest about any cosmetic treatments she\u2019s had \u2013 from chin shaping JawTite surgery to salmon sperm facials \u2013 but believes that it is a \u2018lose lose\u2019 situation for women. \u2018You see the derogatory comments online: \u201cOh my god, doesn\u2019t she look old?\u201d, \u201cShe goes crows feet!\u201d, \u201cShe\u2019s put on weight\u201d. Then said person might go and get a face lift or whatever and then the comments go: \u201cOh my god, she looks like a freak.\u201d You actually cannot win.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018The problem women have, and I\u2019ve found this myself,\u2019 she continues, \u2018is a lot of women in the public eye don\u2019t want to disclose when they\u2019ve had work done because it\u2019s really hard to move the conversation on. Once you\u2019ve talked about it, you could go and do an interview about a dog rescue shelter you\u2019ve visited and the first question would be, \u201cSo in 2017 you got your boobs done.\u201d I don\u2019t want to talk about it because I know I\u2019ll never be able to change the conversation, even 10 years down the line.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] In the second series of Attwood\u2019s hit docuseries, ITV\u2019s The Price of Perfection<\/em>, she delves deeper into the complexities of modern beauty standards, from weight-loss jabs and 360-degree liposuction, an intensive body contouring procedure that removes fat from the torso, abdomen, flanks and back, to the science behind the \u2018perfect\u2019 selfie. With the ubiquity of affordable, quick fix treatments, it is no longer just celebrities feeling the pressure to look \u2018perfect\u2019 \u2013 or to avoid criticism by pretending it\u2019s all natural.<\/p>\n That might explain why when a body positivity star loses weight, or a Hollywood icon over 60 gets a face lift, fans often demand to know \u2018the truth\u2019 behind their altered appearance. But do these high-profile individuals owe us any kind of explanation? \u2018I don\u2019t think we should ever be in a situation where we\u2019re demanding anyone\u2019s medical records, I think that\u2019s dodgy territory,\u2019 says Attwood. \u2018It\u2019s each person\u2019s story to share or not. What I do hold issue with is celebrities and people of influence who do things like weight loss jabs or liposuction or get a face lift and then try to sell you a cream or a workout. I think it\u2019s dishonest and could be causing harm.\u2019<\/p>\n Attwood is right, our idols should be free to make their own decisions. \u2018We don\u2019t give women a break either way. If you\u2019re not getting judgement from men, you\u2019re getting judgement from women, so you have to make the decision that\u2019s right for you.\u2019 <\/p>\n Even so, it feels regressive in any case to knowingly deceive fans. There might still be stigma surrounding tweakments and cosmetic surgery, but the industry is growing at a rapid speed, and misleading people can be both harmful and dangerous. As Attwood points out, \u2018in the last three of four years everyone is going for the \u201cnatural look\u201d, but natural doesn\u2019t mean natural, it means undetectable work\u2019. \u00a0<\/p>\n This often means those with the most capital \u2013 either financial or social \u2013 can afford the top cosmetic surgeons and the most sophisticated treatments, while passing it off as though they haven\u2019t had anything done. \u2018It can be really misleading, especially for young people,\u2019 the presenter adds. \u2018This narrative of everyone going natural is shoved down their throats when actually people are selling you a natural look \u2013 there\u2019s not actually anything that natural about them.\u2019<\/p>\n We\u2019re seeing this happen on both an A-list and micro-influencer scale \u2013 on TV, social media and in our day to day lives. While there are plenty of stars, like Attwood, who wear their tweakments with pride hoping their openness will encourage improved safety and better understanding of the industry at large, it is far from standard practise. Sadly, in a digital world rife with judgement and misogyny, it is still much safer to avoid commenting altogether. What\u2019s not safe, though, is the common propensity to lie. <\/p>\n To paraphrase the common saying: if you don\u2019t have anything honest to say, at least for the sake of your PR team, don\u2019t say anything at all.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Photo: <\/b>ITV<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Olivia Attwood, host of ITV’s The Price of Perfection, weighs in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":10406,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10405"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10413,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10405\/revisions\/10413"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘You actually cannot win.’ \u2013 Olivia Attwood<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
