If you’ll recall, a few days ago Ashley Judd made an appearance on a show in Canada. Normally, it wouldn’t have been a terribly big deal, since she’s Ashley Judd and not someone with that terribly handy talent of being stupid for a living, but it was a big deal. It was a big deal because Ashley Judd looked pretty much nothing like Ashley Judd.
Some people thought that Ashley’s puffy face was due to weight gain, some people thought it was a puffiness due to alcohol abuse. The big guess, however, was that the lady had had some work done on her face, and that work didn’t turn out too hot. Luckily, Ashley’s rep, as well as Ashley herself, has come forward to explain what actually happened. Hint: it definitely wasn’t any sort of plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure, how dare you.
From E!:
“For the record, this is unequivocally not true,” Judd’s rep, Cara Tripicchio, told E! News. “Ashley has been battling an ongoing, serious sinus infection and flu. Therefore, Ashley has been on a heavy dose of medication to overcome it so she could get on a plane and travel to Toronto and New York to fulfill her commitment of completing four consecutive days of press to promote her new show Missing.”
Judd herself tweeted as much this morning, writing, “Thanks to all asking how I’ve been feeling. still very sick (flu + viral infection in sinuses = wicked) but staying positive & having fun.”
Hard as it may be in the wake of the speculation.
“This may have contributed to her face appearing ‘puffy’ on the talk show in Toronto, however anyone who is truly paying attention and not looking to perpetuate a ridiculous story can look online further at photos of her last night during an Apple Store event in NYC and see for themselves that there is zero sign of plastic surgery, puffiness, fillers, etc., that has become a silly and erroneous topic of conversation. Ashley is a natural beauty enjoying her 40’s gracefully.”
And just for the sake of conversation, we have a photo of Ashley Judd from last night, the photos where we can clearly see that there are “zero sign of plastic surgery, puffiness, fillers, etc.” Here it is:
I don’t know, it still looks a little puffy to me. What do you guys think?
I first noticed that her face was puffy on the previews for her new show, so…no, I don’t think that explains it.
You may think the explanation is lame but speaking from experience if shes on a steroid medicine to dry up sinus problems it has a tendency to make a person swell up or puff up for a time during the medication round. so check out your health webs before you condemn
steroid meds definitely cause the face to become rounder. look up cushing’s syndrome. most causes are iatrogrenic – caused by meds.
Oh geez. I’m sooo tired of mis-informed, un-educated people making comments on this sort of thing. Ms. Judd very clearly stated that she has experienced depression over the years and it’s a very well known fact that SSRI’s cause puffy face and weight gain. I can say this from first hand experience. I’ve always been very thin and since taking an SSRI and even after 10 months of taking myself off the prescription, I still am dealing with the unfortunate after effects of the puffy face. It’s a long, hard and arduous journey to get over this physical side effect. So to all of the idiot “guessers’ out there that think think they can diagnose Ms. Judd’s condition, think again,…you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. This is exactly how stupid gossip takes place. Good luck Ashley, I am going through the same journey as you, however fortunately not in the public eye.
Yeah sure, right away, Ashley is on medication, like most Americans, AND she gets injectable fillers in her cheeks and botox. Now THAT is believable.
Botox does not make your face swell up. It looks as if she went to the same dr. as Priscilla Presley
