‘Catwoman’ Jocelyn Wildenstein, 84, Insists She’s ‘Never Had Plastic Surgery’
Jocelyn Wildenstein, 84, has hit back at the constant plastic surgery rumors.
The Swiss socialite is widely thought to have had extensive cosmetic work done – hence her nickname ‘Catwoman.’
She has over one million followers on Instagram and likes to show off her luxurious lifestyle, alongside her age-defying selfies.
Now, Wildenstein is addressing the discussion surrounding her ‘cat-like’ features.
Sitting down with Paper Magazine alongside fiancé and fashion designer Lloyd Klein in 2018, the pair spoke about her life since she disappeared from the public eye.
In 1999, Wildenstein’s marriage to the late French billionaire Alec N. Wildenstein ended, landing her a then-record-breaking divorce settlement of $2.5 million.
He died in 2008, but the socialite is convinced he was the one who came up with the stories about her having plastic surgery.
When asked by the interviewer about being an ‘early adopter’ of cosmetic surgery, Wildenstein responded: “We speak a lot of plastic surgery because of my husband and the divorce.”
Klein added: “Basically, he created that whole story that Jocelyn changed so many times and got surgery a lot. As a fault for the divorce.”
The socialite showed pictures of herself at 17 and 18 years old, prompting her fiancé to claim Wildenstein has always had cat-like features.
“If you look at one of my mother, she has also the eye shape like this,” the now 84-year-old said.
“This was a story, and it’s something he chose very well because it stuck to me like glue.
“But the friends I had in Africa, or some friends I’ve had since we were 17, 20, 23 years old, they know me.”
In another interview with the Daily Mail, she again dismissed the cosmetic surgery speculation.
Alongside her fiancé, the couple cited that her Swiss origin is the main factor behind her looks.
Klein told the outlet: “I don’t understand the whole press and the ‘Catwoman’ thing because Jocelyn always looked like that.
“She never really did anything to change her face. I have pictures from 16 years old where she looks exactly the same as today.”
In her most recent interview with The Sun, Wildenstein said: “I haven’t had plastic surgery, I am scared of what can happen and I don’t like to have something heavy, sometimes it is a bit heavy and terrible.”
She added that she’s never undergone fillers and has had Botox ‘only twice.’
