Kelly Ripa has responded to criticism about her getting botox.
“For me, it was just more of my comfort level. If I worked off camera, I would not wash my hair with regularity or wear makeup but when I started to see things that I didn’t like, I thought, well, the next turtleneck is going to have two eye holes,” the 51 year old told People.
“I’m not saying you should let people bully you into cosmetic procedures. These are my choices for me,” she said.
Ripa has been open about the procedure. In 2020, she mocked the fact that she was unable to get the procedures during the lockdown.
“These are great CDC rules and I appreciate them,” Ripa said. “Having said that, in this time we can notice that there’s been a lot of worrying. You can see it’s written all over my face, but Dr. Anolik decided to be brave today and come into work… to treat my acute Botox deficiency syndrome.”
