Growing up in the spotlight with a beautiful, famous, mom can be tough—just ask Christie Brinkley’s daughter, Alexa Ray Joel.
As Popdust previously reported, over the years, Billy Joel’s daughter has run the gauntlet of public criticism over her looks, culminating in the 29-year-old attempting to take her own life back in 2009—but, as bad as she was made to feel, it seems even Alexa wasn’t scrutinized as heavily as Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ two oldest daughters.
Tallulah Willis turned to drugs and alcohol as a mechanism to cope with the barrage of online bullying she received purely by way of how she looks, and now Rumer Willis is opening up on the subject.
The 26-year-old talked about the bullying she endured as a teenager during a tearful monologue on last night’s Dancing With the Stars, in which she is currently competing, alongside pro dance partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy.
And, she had the audience in tears, including mom Demi, and sisters Tallulah and Scout.
When you grow up with parents that are known worldwide and having so much attention from media and all of the tabloid magazines, it's really tough. When I was a teenager I was super awkward, I don't think I really felt comfortable in my body or with how I looked and people were nasty.
People would say I looked like a man or something called a 'buttaface', which means everything good but her face, or potato head was the big term that everyone used a lot, basically making fun of the way I looked. ...
My mom who is one of the most stunning women I've ever met and who everyone was comparing me to, saying that you look more like your very masculine father than your beautiful Mom. For years I thought 'Maybe I can get plastic surgery. If I change my face or get really skinny, that will be it, that will be the answer' and it's not.' ...
I went through a lot of huge changes for myself that really affected me in a positive way. ... My sister Tallulah was in rehab and I was inspired because she didn't try to hide from it. She really owned it. She got in this mindset of saying 'Here are my flaws and it's OK. I'm still me and I'm still beautiful and it doesn't matter.' I just realized that I could feel the same way and I need to stop listening to the bullies.
Amen to that sister!
These Celebs Are Living Breathing ‘Just Say No’ Campaigns For Plastic Surgery
Big Ang posted this photo of herself on Twitter, which is clearly from a long, long time ago.
Because this is what she looks like now.
And this. Stop going under the knife, lady. Like, for real.
Lil Kim was never normal by anyone’s standards, but in 2002, at least she looked relatively surgery free – minus a boob job and maybe a little nip and tuck here and there.
This is the rapper in 2014, obviously with child. I don’t know what to say. This is what tragically bad plastic surgery looks like.
And, time for a close up Lil Kim...
Oh, Mickey Rourke! You used to be so fine. Here is the actor from his movie 9 ½ Weeks.
He decided to be a boxer for a bit, and his face got messed up. And then he got lots of work to fix it. And by 2005 he was looking like this.
And then he got even more work done, and by 2013 he was the man formally known as Mickey Rourke.
Nikki Cox has a sweet, natural looking face in 2002.
But by 2009, she looked like a completely different person due to several alleged plastic surgery procedures.
Jocelyn Wildenstein isn’t really famous for anything other than being really rich and having really bad plastic surgery. Here she is before the plastic surgeon turned her into a freakshow.
And here she is a few years ago. If you think she looks like a cat, you have totally made her day. Because that was her goal. To look like a cat. Because her former husband loves cats. So shocked that he ended up leaving her.
Here’s a lovely full-length image of her with her boyfriend (yes, she actually has one), who is a fashion designer named Lloyd Klein.
Sharon Osbourne is another self-proclaimed plastic surgery addict. Can you believe this is even her? The other person is Ozzy!
And here’s what she looks like now. Not bad, eh? But a totally different person!
Meet Jackie Stallone, or should I call her Jacqueline? She is the mother of Sylvester, and believe it or not, she is a psychic. Wonder why she couldn’t predict the decline of her face due to plastic surgery? This book cover was released in like 1990 something, but who knows when the photo was actually taken.
Here is the beauty in 2004, doing her best Liz Taylor.
And doing her best drag queen Carrot Top impression
Like mommy, like son. Here is Sylvester when he was sort of hot in Rocky.
And here he is in 2012. But the funny thing is…
In 2014 he looks worse, like maybe he let his regular appoint with the good doctor lapse.
This is Lara Flynn Boyle, who started her career on Twin Peaks in the early 1990s.
Lara Flynn Boyle looked pretty back in 2001 when, for some reason, she was dating Jack Nicholson. This was before she got most of her work done.
In 2003, LFB’s lips looked a little plumped up at the Golden Globes, while her body was wasting away
But by 2006, those lips were looking botched.
And 2008, the progression continued.
Until 2013 happened, and (not so) suddenly she wasn’t looking so hot. In fact, she was the opposite hot. She became a walking anti-plastic surgery Billboard.
I’m sure Joan Rivers started getting work done WAY before this photo was taken in 2001, but she looks relatively normal back then.
Here’s a current photo of old Joan, who has copped to getting like a million procedures done.
However, these days... not so much....
