Why Jamie Lee Curtis Regrets Getting Plastic Surgery at 25
Originally appeared on E! Online
isn't claiming to be perfect.
The Freaky Friday actress detailed how a comment made by a cinematographer on the set of her 1985 film Perfect costarring John Travolta pushed her to undergo plastic surgery.
"He was like, 'Yeah I'm not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy,'" Jamie Lee recalled in a May 11 interview with 60 Minutes. "I was 25. For him to say that was very embarrassing. So as soon as the movie finished, I ended up having some plastic surgery."
"Not well," she added when she was asked how it went. "That's just not what you want to do when you're 25 or 26. I regretted it immediately and have kind of, sort of regretted it since."
The Oscar winner added that she has "way" more remorse for her decision now.
That's because, as Jamie Lee explained, "I've become a really public advocate to say to women, 'You're gorgeous and you're perfect the way you are,' so... oh, yeah. It was not a good thing for me to do."

The 66-year-old had previously revealed that Gordon Willis, an Oscar-nominated cinematographer who died in 2014, was behind the devastating comment and pinpointed it as a the moment that her struggles with addiction began.
"Right after that movie I went and had an eye job," she told The New Yorker in 2019. "That's when I found Vicodin, and the cycle of addiction began with that."
The Everything Everywhere All At Once star told 60 Minutes that she's 26 years sober now before further elaborating on her substance abuse issues.
"I became very enamored with the warm bath of an opiate," she said. "You know, drank a little bit, never to excess, never any big public demonstrations. I was very quiet, very private about it. But it it became a dependency for sure."
Jamie Lee also called attention to the iconic scene from Perfect where she wears a leotard while teaching a fitness class.
"Of course, I look really good in a leotard," she noted. "Believe me, I've seen enough pictures of me in that leotard where even I go like, 'Really? Come on.'"

In the New York Post's review of the show, critic Johnny Oleksinski spotlit the show's score saying the music 'stitches together rockabilly, campfire songs, lounge music and folk into an eerie Americana soundscape that's punchy and unsettling.'

Diddy's Ex-Girlfriend Testifies To Participating In 'Sleazy' Freak Offs, Crying During 18-Hour Session
More alleged details of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' personal life are exposed as witnesses testify regarding his romantic relationships and freak offs. On Thursday, (June 5), an ex-girlfriend of Combs, who is identified as 'Jane', testified that during their three-year relationship, a majority of intimate encounters involved other men. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the woman explained that her relationship with the Harlem native began with lush vacations and only the two of them in bed. As their relationship progressed, Jane claimed it started to involve drug use and escorts as Combs initiated the 'freak offs.' She also testified that 90% of their sexual encounters involved other men. 'I just thought that it was a night of fun; I didn't think that we'd be doing it again,' she explained. 'I just wanted to satisfy my partner.' In her testimony, she further detailed how she became trapped in the relationship due to Combs providing for her financially and informed the jury, 'I felt obligated to perform because my partner was paying my rent.' According to Rolling Stone, Jane Doe returned to the stand on Friday and continued to reflect on her account during her time with the 55-year-old. 'It's dark, sleazy, and makes me feel disgusted with myself,' she claimed to have told Combs in 2023 about not wanting to participate in the freak offs. 'I don't want to play this role anymore. I'm so much more than this,' and 'I feel like it's the only reason you have me around and pay for the house.' That same year, she alleged to have agreed to participate in a 'sober' party, despite Combs still using cocaine and ecstasy. During this freak off, Jane Doe claimed that she vomited, however, the Bad Boy Records founder dismissed her health concerns. 'Sean came in and I told him I had just thrown up,' she testified. 'And he was like, 'That's good, you'll feel better. Let's go, the third guy is here.'' TMZ reports that she also testified to crying during two freak offs, the first one being a surprise session when she thought she would have a one-on-one night with Combs. The session, she claims, lasted 18 hours and took place at the Waldorf Hotel in Beverly Hills early in their relationship. The second time she burst into tears was after a 'hotel night' while she was in the shower, high on drugs. Combs is charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and has pleaded not guilty. Earlier this week, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian warned the Grammy-winner that he could be removed from the courtroom for 'absolutely unacceptable' behavior after allegedly making facial expressions towards the jury. The trial is expected to last all of June and into July.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Used Ex-Girlfriend 'Jane' As A Drug Mule, Last 'Freak-Off' Occurred Just Before Arrest, Sex-Trafficking Trial Hears
Drugs were a big part of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' life and so-called 'freak-offs,' the jury in the Bad Boy Records founder's sex-trafficking trial have repeatedly heard, and this morning the court learned how he used the people in his inner circle to get Ecstasy and more in his hands. They also heard how Combs continued to engage in the drug-fueled sex sessions ever as the law closed in on him last year. 'I just asked her if this was safe and okay,' Combs' ex-girlfriend 'Jane,' a pseudonym, said detailing a conversation with the ex-mini mogul's then top aide Kristina Khorram about her concerns of taking a bag of drugs from LA to Miami. On her second day on the stand, Jane revealed that 'KK' replied, 'it's fine, I do it all the time, just put it in your checked in luggage.' More from Deadline Judge Threatens To Bar Sean 'Diddy' Combs From Courtroom If He Continues To Interact With Jurors Sean 'Diddy' Combs: An Updated Timeline Of Charges, Allegations & Consequences The Rap Mogul Faces George Clooney Previews Saturday's Live Telecast Of 'Good Night, And Good Luck' On CNN: "Some Networks Aren't Really Up For Doing This Right Now"; How To Watch In her sometimes-tear-filled testimony under questioning from the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, 'Jane' spoke of other occasions when she transported Ecstasy across state lines in a plane for Combs. On the subject of drugs, which 'Jane' like previous witness and Combs' ex Cassie Ventura testified as well, said pills, cocaine and more were a primary inducement for the marathon 'freak-off' sex sessions with male escorts. To that, the witness spoke of Combs getting his personal assistants and security details to procure more when his current stash ran out for the often filmed 'freak-offs' Those sex sessions took more and more of a toll on 'Jane,' the witness said Friday, stating how she unsuccessfully begged Combs to have the other men wear condoms, the long days some of the 'freak-off' went, and the fears she had things could get violent with everyone on drugs. On trial in New York City since May 12, the 55-year-old Combs could end up spending the rest of his life in prison if found guilty on federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and more. From 'Jane' the past two days and before that Ventura's pal Bryana Bongolan, who had told the court Wednesday that Combs had dangled her off a 17th-story balcony in 2016, the panel of eight men and four women in the courtroom has heard explicit and sometimes heartrending testimony about rapes, emotional and physical violence, blackmail, and filmed drug-juiced 'freak-offs' from the 'Me & U' singer, male escorts, and his ex-personal assistant 'Mia.' Like other witnesses in the trial, 'Mia' also spoke of watching the much-accused Combs beat, abuse and manipulate Ventura, as he did to many of the people in his orbit. In a preemptive move from their opening statement, the defense has admitted their client is guilty of domestic violence, has been a heavy drug user, a swinger, and is overall not a very nice person. Yet, in that admission, which also saw attempts to undermine the credibility of accusers like Ventura, and 'Jane,' attorney Teny Geragos made a point over and over of emphasizing that Combs isn't on trial in this criminal case for any of that, and that his relationships, as kinky as things could get, were always with consenting adults. Thursday saw things get even more immediately tense for Combs, as the usually lenient Judge Arun Subramanian threatened to have the sweater wearing and white-haired defendant removed from his own trial if he kept 'nodding vigorously' and interacting with the jury. There was little response from usually verbose lead defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo except a promise to make sure Combs maintained proper courtroom decorum. Combs certainly made a few looks in the jury's way today, but the judge seemed to let it go – for now. Having been involved with Combs since early 2021, self-described online influencer and single mother 'Jane' first told the lower Manhattan courtroom of who sweet and loving Combs was during the early days of their relationship. How he offered to pay for a house for her, and supplement her income now that she was spending so much time with him. However, as Ventura and others have stated, that shifted over time and the accused appeared to employ old school pimp tactics to control and totally dominate the woman. Again, like he did with Ventura and others, as the prosecution clearly intends to convey to the jury, a sometimes semen-smeared Combs used the same M.O. of drugs, blackmail, fear and violence to make a baby oiled up, lingerie and high-heels wearing 'Jane' participate in the 'freak-offs.' 'Jane' told the jury of a September 2023 text she sent to Combs on her anguish over the 'freak-offs' and being forced to have sex with other paid men for Combs' pleasure. 'It's hurting me, she told Combs, 'It's dark, sleazy and makes me feel disgusted with myself.' The text added: 'I don't want to play this role anymore. I'm so much more than this …I feel like it's the only reason you have me around and pay for the house.' 'Girl, stop,' Combs tersely replied. Originally only taking place in upscale hotel suites from May 2021 to October 2023, sometimes with escorts and sometimes with porn stars, the 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights' came to an end for about three months, 'Jane' said today. The conclusion of the sex sessions came about a month before Ventura filed her very quickly settled ($20 million) abuse and assault suit against her 2007-2018 boyfriend Combs. After that suit, dozens and dozens of other civil suits against Combs followed, as well as raids of his L.A. and Miami homes by the feds and CNN's broadcasting of hotel security footage of the 'All About the Benjamins' performer kicking, berating and beating Ventura as she sought to escape a 2016 L.A. 'freak-off.' On her last day on the stand, the then heavily pregnant Ventura was forced by the defense to admit she is going to receive a $10 million settlement from the owners of the InterContinental. Today, 'Jane' said that the 'freak-offs' picked up again in February 2024, but now they took place at Combs' Florida home. There were a total of five such sessions, 'Jane' noted, with the last one occurring in August 2024, just a few weeks before Combs was arrested in NYC on the charges he is facing in this trial. Set to end before the July 4 holiday, Judge Subramanian promised the jurors, the trial runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET every weekday – except when it goes longer at the judge's discretion.
