Rosie O'Donnell Calls 80-Year-Old Trump Sexist After AI Video Attack

Q: What personal realization in Ireland prompted Rosie O’Donnell’s openly discussed facelift after her fifty-pound weight loss?

Rosie O’Donnell said the facelift was prompted by realizing that, after losing about 50 pounds, the lines in her face made her appear sad or upset to other people. While living in Ireland, she said people would regularly ask if something was wrong or if she was upset. Her response, she explained, was essentially that nothing was wrong — that was simply how her face looked after the weight loss. That repeated reaction made her more aware that her expression was being misread. O’Donnell later said this was the reason she chose to have the procedure in early 2026, and she discussed it openly because she wanted to be transparent about having cosmetic work done.

Rosie O'Donnell said on Friday that Donald Trump is “innately a sexist,” escalating a long-running feud after he mocked her and other celebrities in an AI Truth Social video earlier this month.
The video cast Trump as a “doctor” treating “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and also targeted Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro, Julia Roberts and John Leguizamo, prompting O'Donnell to say she was in “good company.”
O'Donnell also questioned the 80-year-old president’s fitness, citing recent verbal mix-ups including calling Volodymyr Zelensky “Putin” and referring to Iran as the “Islamic Republic of Japan.”
The Emmy and Tony winner, back in New York for her one-woman show after moving to Ireland in 2025, said she does not regret leaving and accused Democrats of failing to meet what she called a fascist “emergency.”
