‘The View’ Cohosts Spill on What Cosmetic Work They’ve Had

The cohosts of The View got personal on Friday’s (May 29) episode. While discussing Rosie O’Donnell‘s decision to have a facelift after losing weight, despite previously knocking the procedure as a “betrayal… of feminism [and] of aging,” the cohosts showed universal support for the comedian and even lifted the veil on their own histories with cosmetic work.

Ana Navarro revealed the reaction she gave to O’Donnell directly after the news came out, saying, “I said to her, ‘For me, being a feminist means doing something that makes you feel empowered and happy,’ and she said, ‘I wanted to do this because I was looking sad when I’m feeling so happy,’ and she said, ‘The headline was I had Mounjaro face. Now, I look like how I feel. I look great.’ And she wanted a doctor that was a minimalist. So it’s not like a dramatic thing where all of a sudden she looks like she’s from a different ethnicity. She looks like Rosie O’Donnell.”

Sunny Hostin then weighed in, saying, “I’m just surprised that someone as strong and funny and interesting as Rosie equated having work done to being anti-feminist.”

Joy Behar, who has opened up about cosmetic work herself in the past, added, “Studies show — and I can’t cite one right now, but they do, I’ve read them — that if you look good, you are more apt to get the job, so it’s really just survival. It’s not just about being attractive.”

“If you look in the mirror, and you are miserable day after day, and you can’t get past that, it really is up to you,” Haines added.

Behar then justified O’Donnell’s decision by noting that “Trump was so evil to her [about her looks].”

“Before we take it to Trump,” Alyssa Farah Griffin interjected, “I feel very strongly, I respect it when celebrities share what they’ve got done. It means a lot to me, personally, as someone who struggled with body image. You scroll through Instagram, and, ‘Why does everyone look so much better? … Why does she look thinner?’ When people are honest that they had a little help, I think it helps a lot of people.”

Navarro then talked about another friend of hers who had a facelift after weight loss and said, “He is so joyful and happy. He’s like, ‘Oh, look at me, I have my neck!'”

“What would you want to do?” Behar then asked, inviting the cohosts to talk about their own experiences.

“I like lasers,” Griffin explained. “I do the same as you, lasers and Botox.”

Behar then asked Sunny Hostin about hers, and she said, “I got my boobs reduced,” and Behar said, “I want that! I have like Thelma and Louise. Thelma is bigger than Louise.”

Haines then said, “That’s normal. Every woman has varied sizes.”

“Mine don’t! I have the same now, and I’m happy about it,” Hostin said.

“God gives you, ‘They’re not twins, they’re cousins,'” Haines said with a laugh.

“Mine are twins,” Hostin then bragged.

Navarro then shared that she would like to have more than just a facelift. “I’d like to go into a chamber, pull up, starting from my ankles, and go ahead and then make it into a ponytail.”

Haines then shared, “Mine is not my face. My biggest insecurity is, post-babies, the skin. Because I work out a lot, and I worked out a lot before, and all of a sudden the one difference is you see the skin. If I do a push up, you can see it. Any woman who’s had kids knows this little pooch.”

“It’s never the same, either,” Griffin, who just had a baby in February, agreed.

“If I do a push-up, somebody’s gonna think I’ve lost my mind,” Navarro joked.

“The key to the city is marry a guy who’s legally blind and never take off your clothes in front of anybody,” Behar said to close out the chat.
