Jamie Lee Curtis<\/a> is speaking out against the rising popularity of plastic surgery by comparing the industry’s impact to genocide.<\/p>\n

The 66-year-old brought out a set of huge red plastic lips for a new interview and photoshoot with The Guardian<\/a>, telling the outlet that it was meant as a “statement against plastic surgery.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who\u2019ve disfigured themselves. The wax lips really sends it home,” she said.<\/p>\n

When asked whether she thought “genocide” fit the context, the Freakier Friday actress defended her language as “accurate.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve used that word for a long time, and I use it specifically because it\u2019s a strong word,” Curtis explained. “I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human [appearance]. The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers \u2014 there\u2019s a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances.”<\/p>\n

She added that AI is another culprit in worsening this issue.<\/p>\n

“Now the filter face is what people want. I\u2019m not filtered right now. The minute I lay a filter on and you see the before and after, it\u2019s hard not to go: ‘Oh, well that looks better.’ But what\u2019s better? Better is fake. And there are too many examples \u2014 I will not name them \u2014 but very recently, we have had a big onslaught through media, many of those people.”<\/p>\n

Curtis’ comments come just a few months after the Halloween<\/a> actress drew ire for comparing<\/a> the Los Angeles Palisades fire to the ongoing war in Gaza.<\/p>\n

“I mean, literally my neighborhood \u2014 gone. My house tonight is still there, but I live in a different canyon,” Curtis said in January<\/a>. “But the entire Pacific Palisades looks like, unfortunately, Gaza, or one of these war-torn countries where awful things have happened.”<\/p>\n

While some were understanding of Curtis’ intent, others pointed to a 2023 Instagram mixup, in which she mistakenly posted photos of Palestinian children fleeing an attack to express her support of Israeli victims, before deleting the post.<\/p>\n

At the time, she addressed the “error” in a statement, saying, “I took down the post when I realized my error. The other post is a Guy Oseary repost. It\u2019s an awful situation for all the innocent people in the line of fire.”<\/p>\n

As for her stance on plastic surgery, Curtis has long been an outspoken critic against the culture surrounding cosmetic procedures in Hollywood. Earlier this year, she shared that a remark from the cinematographer <\/a>on her 1985 film Perfect was what led her to seek out plastic surgery in the first place.<\/p>\n

“He was like, ‘Yeah I’m not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy,'” she recalled. “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.”<\/p>\n

She added that she “regretted it immediately” and has “regretted it since.”<\/p>\n

Curtis had previously revealed that plastic surgery led to her struggle with drug abuse.<\/p>\n

“I found Vicodin and the cycle of addiction began with that,” she told the New Yorker<\/a> in 2019. “I became very enamored with the warm bath of an opiate… I was very quiet, very private about it. But it became a dependency for sure.”<\/p>\n
