Ariana Grande Addresses Plastic Surgery Rumors During Lie ...
Ariana Grande is setting the record straight about those ongoing plastic surgery rumors.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the "Wicked" star was hooked up to a lie detector test and answered a series of questions about herself.
Toward the end of the video, Grande's "Wicked" co-star Cynthia Erivo referenced the musical's song "Popular" and asked if Grande had ever had any "work done" to make herself "feel more popular."
"To my face? To physical appearance?" Grande asked.
"Yes, I'm going to ask all the questions," Erivo replied.
"Thank goodness," Grande said.
When asked if she's ever had a nose job, the 31-year-old said no. She also denied getting a "boob job," saying, "Can you imagine?"
Grande then revealed that she had not gotten a facelift, but was “open” to the idea.
When the lie detector test technician determined that Grande had been "truthful" in her answers, the singer-actor was delighted.
"This is the best day of my life. Take that, you YouTube people," she said, referencing her online critics.
Erivo also asked if Grande had had a fox eye lift, a procedure that gives the corners of the eyes a slight lift.
“No, but I discovered it through people who thought I did and I said, ‘Thank you,’” she said.
She also said she had not had a chin implant, but went on to explain some of the work she has had done.
“I’ve had fillers in various places and Botox, but I stopped like four years ago, and that is the extent. But (I’m) also like in full support of all people who do these things, work, whatever makes women, men, non-gender conforming people feel beautiful should be allowed. Why do we care?” she asked.
The star had a spirited response when asked if she’s ever gotten a BBL (aka a Brazilian butt lift).
“Get the f--- out of here! Yes,” she said.
The test technician then noted that Grande was “being deceptive” with her playful answer, and the star clarified her response.
“No, that wouldn’t work for me. I don’t think that’s my thing. And I’m OK with that,” she said.
The VF interview was not the first time Grande has addressed plastic surgery rumors.
In a 2023 interview with Vogue, Grande got emotional while describing how she used to "disguise" some of her features with makeup and cosmetic procedures.
“(I’ve) had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox,” she said. “ I stopped in 2018 because I just felt so … too much.”
“I just felt like hiding, you know," she added.
Since she stopped getting Botox and fillers, the star said she has noticed a boost in her self-esteem. But she isn't opposed to getting a cosmetic procedure down the road one day.
“To each their own. Whatever makes you feel beautiful, I do support,” she said.
