14 DAY TRIAL // A few weeks ago, Heidi Montag grabbed international headlines by coming out on the cover of People magazine and unveiling a surgically altered face and body, in what she called a makeover meant to bring out the best of her to light. Former “Melrose Place” star Lisa Rinna, who is herself not a stranger to surgical interventions, is now taking her outrage to the media, as Us Magazine can confirm.
In the past, Rinna came clean about fillers, Botox and implants, but that doesn’t mean that she is OK with what Montag has done to herself, and especially not with the idea that this is a 23-year-old woman who underwent no less than ten surgical procedures in a single day. Because of this, Rinna did not even allow Montag’s People cover, the one on which she talked of her “upgrade” and said she was addicted to plastic surgery, into the house, because it would have put the wrong ideas into her daughters’ heads.
“I will tell you, I had to take that cover off the magazine before it came in the house,” the 46-year-old star says of Montag’s cover for People. “We have two girls. I don’t think it is something you want to bring in the house and say, ‘Oh, look.’” she adds in reference to her and husband’s Harry Hamlin’s two daughters, Delilah, 11, and Amelia, 8. Of course, the Montag cover of People is not the only cover that Rinna sees herself forced to forbid access of into the house, she goes on to say.
“I take a lot of the covers off of magazines if they are not appropriate. Obviously, we are raising two young girls. Anything that has to do with weight issues, I think you just have to be really careful. I mean, you know – to each his own, is all I will say,” she explains. Hamlin chimes in, saying that, back in the day, magazine covers would not be about people who had plastic surgery, but rather about those who didn’t go under the knife and that, somewhere along the way, the focus has changed and things have gone from bad to worse in the industry.
Many see Rinna’s criticizing of Montag as a classic case of pot calling the kettle black, but, then again, she’s not calling her out for having work done, but rather for having so much at once. Reality star Tila Tequila, again quite familiar with the improvements made possible thanks to cosmetic surgery, was also pointing out the same a while back, as we also informed you.
