Sharon and Kelly - AIBU to feel really uncomfortable watching this about the effect cosmetic surgery has had on them.

[donfoxtrot]

I’ve just seen this clip of them at the Brits. How do they think that this looks good? I find it so sad that they both felt the need to do this to their faces, because the perception now is that women aren’t able to age?
This isn’t woman bashing women. People can do what they like, but this is grotesque.

Kelly was starting to look like this for a year or so before her father died. It's the weight loss injections. It went OK to start with, but she has stayed on the weight loss injections for far too long. She is clearly very unwell. She was looking good several years ago, but now looks seriously ill. She has taken weight loss to an extreme. It is NOT grief that has caused Kelly to look like this. Yes, grief can cause weight loss, but that's not what's happened here.

Sadly, like some others, Kelly has gone too far with the weight loss and it's very sad to see it.

First 2 pics are her from 3-4 years ago, and the second 2 pics are her now. (Obviously she's the one on the left on pic 4.) She looked fine 3-4 years ago. In fact, she looked much better when she was a bit overweight than she does now.

And as I said, she has looked like this for about a year - some 6-7 months before her father died...

I was really shocked when I saw this video earlier

I honestly made me think of the characters from Coco the film
The shape

Really bad. But more Kelly cos she's so young still

Have you seen Priscilla Presley lately??? The woman is 70+ and I know several 70+ women who look a lot better than she does with no surgical treatment

Its not body shaming any more than looking at someone like Shane Mcgowan would have been 'alcohol shaming' or Pete Burns would have been 'plastic surgery shaming'

Its not grief causing this as Kelly in particluar has looked like this for some time, they've clearly both had fat removal on the face.

People who lose hug amounts of weight, whether by WLI, WLS or without those things, dont have indents in their face, that is caused by surgical fat removal, resulting in that hollow cheeked look.

Its virtually self harm and concerning.

Kelly is on record as saying she's struggling very badly because of her dad's death. Yes I'm sure she's been on the weight loss injections but the grief won't be helping

Grief wont be helping at all but a face doesnt get that way from just weight loss, its surgical.

No. It’s body shaming.

I don't care for either of them much but I think they should be left alone

Being massively overweight is health harming too. Go to your average city high street. People can barely walk they’re so overweight. Not sure whose influencing them…def not Kelly or Sharon.

Correct ❤️

I feel for Kelly- she’s had her weight and looks scrutinised since a young age, through being in the public eye (which she didn’t choose). I like Sharon but she’s set a very unhealthy example for Kelly, with weight loss surgery, all her plastic surgery etc.

i don’t think it’s any surprise at all that Kelly clearly has a deeply distorted body image.

I've no doubt they're grieving, of course they are but that's way more than grief and it is concerning that anyone thinks otherwise. That is to dismiss eating disorders, much as what happened in the 90s/00s when anorexia became a huge problem.

This sort of obscene weight loss should never be considered okay and it's really irresponsible to normalise it.

I think a whole host of issues are influencing over eating, some of which unfortunately is an acceptance and tolerance of being overweight.

Much like people are being shouted down for pointing out how concerning it is to see what these women have done, you cannot point out how harmful it is to be overweight either.

I hope they are doing ok. Their dad and family were their world. They also dealt with extreme social pressure to conform to beauty standards, especially Kelly. I wish them both peace, and think they did Ozzy proud, and that's the only comment I have on them.

What about ‘obscene’ weight gain that is around us on every street? Or is that too uncomfortable to mention?

But weight is genetic too. It doesn’t matter that weight is only one part of beauty. My point was that Kelly has never been accepted. She’s never had the right face, never had the right body. It doesn’t matter if her genetics play a role in that, she’s never been allowed to exist comfortably in her own genetics. So how the hell can she be happy and know what looks “good”?

They stood there last night honouring their dead dad and husband. Yet all people can talk about is how they looked.

Totally agree. Bloody leave people alone. They can exist in whatever body shape they want to.

Yes unfortunately, its quite shocking. And you're right, obscene weight gain would be shocking too. Its not politically correct to mention that though.

How someone looks when something like this is presented, whether that be extreme surgery, weight gain or loss, alcohol or drug use, its shocking and will be discussed.

Internet says Kelly O has Lyme disease. She certainly doesn’t look well. Hope she is getting better.

Could not agree more

I hope Kelly is okay, I think she has a young family.

Oh my God! That looks more like illness than anything else. Has to be 😳.

Tolerance of being overweight? I've been bullied all my life for being overweight - from the age of 9 in school when I wasn't fat - just slightly bigger than my friends. When I look back at photos of me then I was tiny

I have had people abuse me in the street. Shouting out of car windows - when I was a size 14.

I put on weight during covid when the gyms closed and I was walking to the supermarket one day and this guy shouted "haw fatty" at me. Like something from a Kevin Bridges sketch

I've also been bigger at points in my life (for various reasons) and got nothing but abuse - mostly from complete strangers who don't know me

And even when I have been in very good shape and very fit -still abuse. Because I'm pear shaped and not a size ten.

Trust me -there's little tolerance to people who struggle with their weight from some quarters

I leave people be when it comes to their weight. Because you don't know why people gain weight. I'm only starting to tackle weight gain now that I put on a couple of years ago due to a triple leg fracture and a horrible bout of depression

(Folk just look at you and think fat. Greedy. They don't know why you're struggling).

Im a PT believe it or not and I understand why some people don't want to set foot in gyms when they are bigger - because I've been that person so many times

My mum is very slim and has struggled to put weight on her entire life.

Not where I live it's not and it's not good to have that pressure to be incredibly thin especially as a teen girl!
