Hollywood's Darkest Secret Exposed: Jamie Lee Curtis Blasts Cosmetic Surgery Culture, Calls it a "Genocide"

In a jaw-dropping interview with The Scholarly Note, iconic actress Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, has unleashed her fury on the cosmetic surgery industry, likening it to a "genocide" that's ravaging generations of women. This bombshell statement comes as she promotes her new film, Freakier Friday, alongside co-star Lindsay Lohan, who has been at the center of rumors about her own plastic surgery.

Curtis, known for her unapologetic candor, minced no words in her scathing critique of the beauty industry. "I've been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who've disfigured themselves," she said, her voice dripping with disdain.

This fiery outburst comes as Curtis is set to star alongside Lohan, 39, in Freakier Friday, which opens in theaters on August 8. The film's promotional tour has been marred by rumors surrounding Lohan's alleged cosmetic procedures, which the actress has repeatedly denied.

"I'm not proselytizing to them; I would never say a word," Curtis said, emphasizing that she's not judging those who've undergone plastic surgery. "All I know is that it is a never-ending cycle. That, I know. Once you start, you can't stop."

The veteran actress, known for her timeless beauty, has spoken openly about her own decision to undergo cosmetic procedures in the past. However, she now regrets the move, saying it's led to a culture of constant alteration and a loss of natural beauty.

"The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers – there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances," Curtis warned.

The actress also pointed to artificial intelligence as fueling the trend, stating that social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook have created an environment where people feel pressured to conform to unrealistic beauty standards.

"The minute I lay a filter on and you see the before and after, it's hard not to go: 'Oh, well that looks better.' But what's better? Better is fake," she said, her voice laced with frustration.

Curtis's candid comments have sparked a heated debate about the impact of cosmetic surgery on society. As Freakier Friday prepares for its August release, fans are eagerly awaiting the film's take on beauty, identity, and the pressures of Hollywood.

In related news, Lohan has spoken out about her own skincare routine, crediting her youthful look to a combination of healthy eating, regular exercise, and careful attention to her skin. "I drink this juice every morning," she said in an interview with Elle. "It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water."

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Jamie Lee Curtis has unapologetically taken a stand against the cosmetic surgery industry, and her words will likely echo throughout Hollywood for years to come.

Lohan has denied undergoing any surgery.
