Lauren Sanchez before and after. What is it with inflatable lips and sculpted cheeks and the inflated breasts? She looked like a nice, attractive woman before.

I am very happy not living the life of a billionaire. Imagine having to go everywhere with bodyguards 24/7 and having your life pored over in magazines and the gutter press. There must be very wealthy people who keep their privacy because they dont court publicity. Do anyone of us know what JKRs DH looks like or her kids? No because she keeps them out of public view.

Yes, you’re right. Plenty of rich people live a private life. So you wouldn’t be followed by the gutter press if you’re not in the public eye. Why would you, you’re not special or talented, just rich. You’re confusing being rich to being rich and public personality. You judge looks, I judge intelligence 👀

Fair enough, I get that she doesn't give a toss what I think 🙄 That's bleeding obvious really... but having a boat like a crumpled bumper invites comment 😀

That’s the thing though, you could look like a baboon’s arse for all we know.

Because I can’t imagine that Lauren Sanchez would give a single fuck what the OP’s DH thinks of her looks, or indeed your male (or female) friends. She’s not doing it for you.

Genuine question... Why does it invite ridicule* if a man says he doesn't like the 'surgically fucked about with' look?
(*as in 'I bet he's no oil painting himself')
I don't know any of my male (or female) friends who think it's a good look.
And no, I'm not posting a photo of myself 😉😀

Bezos first wife helped him set up the business and is a distinguished author. She took half his money in the divorce settlement so he's gone for a bimbo second time around

She’s not a bimbo .. she was a journalist and a pilot. Hardly a bimbo and bimbo is such a misogynist term. You don’t like how she looks .. she does and so does her husband so why should anyone else’s opinion matter

Youdidnotfindme · 01/07/2025 20:13

The thing is she's married to a billionaire and will have access to unlimited plastic surgery and treatments. Ageing in their circle is not the done thing, look at Kris Kardashian aged 69. These people will do whatever they can do to avoid ageing naturally.

I’d also like to see what your husband looks like.

Talking about someone’s appearance because they’ve had plastic surgery is one thing but to say that her husband will leave and a bimbo scream envy. Rich and married to a billionaire. Who wouldn’t want that? Envy isn’t not an attractive trait.

The Lauren Sanchez hate is getting really tiring. Not a fan of her but it's so obvious loads of women are just jealous that someone who doesn't fit their ideal of what a beautiful, classy woman should be, ended up marrying the world's richest man.

I'd never heard of her before. Definitely not jealous. She was beautiful before.

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 01/07/2025 20:08

I don't judge her for doing it. Her body her choice. It's a trend like the fake boobs of the early 90's or the over plucked eyebrows of the later 90's (guilty) or the tattooed brows of the late noughties. The filler generation is mostly younger Mum's -30 something's. Who knows what's next? They are probably looking at me with my sparse brows and wondering what the hell I was thinking!

My DH says he doesn't understand it at all and can't see the attraction.

Show quote history

That’s my point though - everyone likes different things.

some people DO find that look attractive, and would be repulsed by the way I look!

Correction, she’s an ex mediocre reporter, who used new beau’s money to learn to fly. What a flag bearer for feminism. Go, girrrl

You know all reporters are journalists? But not all journalists are reporters. I hope that clears that up.

TonTonMacoute · 01/07/2025 20:07

The problem with having that amount of work done is that you have to keep on and on doing it, and you get even weirder looking as you get older.
Bezos is an odd man and has been reported to want to live for ever.

I wonder how many people at that huge wedding bonanza are actually genuine friends. It seems a weird and emotionally empty life to me - who cares how much money they have.

DiamondThrone · 01/07/2025 20:00

You seem bitter. Maybe work on that?

I like that Bezos has married an age-appropriate woman - no matter what you think of her - and they seem genuinely happy.

There is no evidence at all here to suggest you are any smarter than she is. She’s clearly got more than one brain cell. Go on then, tell us all about how many things you can fly and how much more successful than her you are?

OneSpoonyGreyWasp · 01/07/2025 20:00

I think that was her when she was younger. So it’s not what she would look like today without surgery

aLittleWhiteHorse · 01/07/2025 20:00

I thought similarly to you and especially because she was gorgeous before - but in her super rich circles, this is a fashionable look. Aging is despised as a poor choice, and multiple surgeries result in this “tiny-eyed” look. I expect it looks better IRL.

To be honest, for a tech bro, Bezos has let the side down. Normally they go for normal looking women with more than one brain cell. He has gone for a ‘Love island’ contestant type with a bad surgeon.

You’re judging her intellect based on her appearance? That doesn’t make you look very bright.

She's a journalist who can fly helicopters. But OK.

And strictly, of course, Bezos is not a tech bro. He was a venture capitalist who realised early on that the internet would be huge, who looked into the bookselling industry and realised books would be the perfect thing to start selling. The inventory doesn't go off, and it's easy to package, and it had a rubbish distribution system.

But sure, you know all about him 😄

Low self esteem, or personal value based on male attention.

A preference to look weird and losing individuality over gasp looking a bit old.
