Aubrey O'Day, is that you?
The Danity Kane singer posted new selfies on Instagram on September 13th, 2019, in which
she looks nothing like the fresh-faced Making The Band bombshell we once knew.
Some of her shocking new appearance could possibly be attributed to cosmetics, as it
appears O'Day is rocking a whole lot of highlighter and contouring, especially on her nose.
Pauly D's ex's lips are huge and pouty, to the point that it looks like she may not even
be able to close them entirely.
Her eye makeup is also dramatically done up, which can trick the eye into thinking her
facial proportions have been altered.
Her center part makes even her hairline look smaller than it once was.
It's also possible that O'Day rocked some serious filters and/or Photoshop in her snaps,
which were posted to her Instagram Stories and preserved in screenshots.
In fact, almost all of O'Day's other recent Instagram photos are so heavily edited that
they may as well be paintings.
Fans had a lot to say about the newest unrecognizable pics, with one commenting,
"This is a good representation of how the standard of beauty drastically changed between
the late 00s [and] late 10s."
Another tweeted,
"This process makes me so sad, especially when they're young and doing this to themselves.
When body dysmorphia and beauty trends collide the result isn't pretty, no pun intended."
A third cracked that O'Day in 2019 "looks like a photomanip for a fetish I'm too scared
to learn about."
O'Day hasn't appeared to respond to any of her critics, as of the making of this video,
but she may not stay silent for long.
In July 2019, talk show host Wendy Williams weighed in on the singer's changing looks,
pointing out that she seems far too young to have put this much effort into changing
her appearance:
"And she's really young.
Like, you don't start doing that kind of stuff until you get a particular age.
Now, she's going to have to keep up all this filler and work and stuff for the rest of
her...I don't even!"
While Williams seemed to be sympathetic in her coverage of the Instagram pics, O'Day
didn't take kindly to her comments.
On the contrary, she appears to have taken them pretty personally.
O'Day sent an aggressive tweet to the talk show host, writing,
"ma, u got so much to say when I'm not sitting in front of you, why don't you be a real one
and run your mouth like this face to face.
I dare you.
I'll clear my f---ing calendar."
While O'Day has never gone on the record to say she's actually had work done, In Touch
Weekly speculated that she's had a nose job, lip injections, fillers, and possibly breast
implants, along with other work on her body to attain her seemingly otherwise unattainable
curves.
Self-esteem may be an issue for the singer and Ex On The Beach star.
O'Day told Andy Cohen in 2017 that when she was on The Apprentice in 2012, two producers
told her she was doing a fantastic job as a businesswoman, but that they needed her
to up her sex appeal.
She recalled them telling her,
"'Bottom line, Trump doesn't think you're pretty.
If you want to stay in the game, you need to follow these simple rules.'
And the rules were: Start parting my hair down the center, wearing it straight and pushing
my [breasts] up in tight outfits."
O'Day admitted to Celebuzz in 2011 that she looked, even then, vastly different from when
she made her MTV debut in 2004, saying,
"My makeup how much or how little I have on is constantly affecting the way people see
me in regards to everybody thinking I've had plastic surgery.
Sometimes I'll look at pictures and think that maybe I don't look like myself there.
My eyes [do] look different or my lips look really big…It could've been a lip plumper,
or a bad makeup artist, too much makeup, too little makeup; whatever it may be."
She also admitted that accepting her own appearance and self-love didn't necessarily come easily
to her, explaining,
"Everybody at some point and to some degree wants to be appreciated and accepted by others.
It's an ongoing process.
I don't think that there's ever a quick fix to completely loving yourself in any phase."
