Regrets, Sharon Osbourne has had a few. Or maybe just one – that last face-lift. Or, actually, at least that’s the one she’s talking about at this very moment, so let’s listen in…
Osbourne shared that she got a facial refresh in 2021 that was painful, expensive, and left her eye a little lopsided. “I looked like a fucking Cyclops. I’m, like, All I need is a hunchback,” she told The Sunday Times last year.
Elective surgery regrets are no small thing. It was five and a half hours under the knife, according to Osbourne, plus extensive recovery. But that’s a pretty good run if you think about it: just one surgery that wasn’t worth the price of admission after a long life of reality and daytime television stardom and, as is implied in the various articles on her, a good amount of plastic surgery.
Not bad as far as regrets go, right?
“I really fucking pushed it with the last face-lift, and I am now like… No more.”
Sharon Osbourne told The Sun that her last experience would likely be her last. “That one put me off and it frightens me,” the former cohost of The Talk said. “I really fucking pushed it with the last face-lift, and I am now like… No more.”
“Time is against me, I cannot have another face-lift,” she said.
And here is the purpose of regrets, I suppose. You find the line by crossing it sometimes, and if you’re lucky it leaves you with something to chew on. Like, in this case, when it comes to your face, time is the undefeated champion. May we all learn that lesson from Osbourne, and not from our own empty bank accounts and time spent under the scalpel.
