Gabrielle Union is setting the record straight, shutting down speculation about plastic surgery with her signature wit and confidence. The 51-year-old actress, author, and fashion icon recently discussed the ongoing gossip surrounding her appearance during a meet-and-greet event promoting her SlimStyled experience with JCPenney and stylist Larry Sims.
Union, whose radiant beauty has always been a subject of admiration, took the opportunity to respond directly to rumors that she may have undergone surgery. Union dismissed the chatter, crediting her youthful look to hairstyle choices rather than any surgical procedures. “A high pony for a lady of a certain age is like a facelift,” she joked, adding that such speculations about her face were far from accurate. “If you can’t be missing for six months to get a facelift — which I’ve never been missing for six months, get it right — the high pony is going to snatch you here,” she said, offering a playful explanation for the lifted look that fans have noticed.
Union further demonstrated how different ponytail placements can create a naturally lifted appearance, pointing to the effects on her face and neck. “A pony here is going to snatch you here,” she explained, indicating the middle of her head. “And a low [pony], here,” she added, gesturing to the back of her neck. According to Union, the only “lifting” at play is courtesy of her hairstylist, not a surgeon.
The actress has had a busy and vibrant year, balancing work with personal enjoyment. From supporting artists like Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla on tour to her growing business ventures, Union continues to thrive in 2024. Despite her successes, she remains adept at handling criticism and speculation. Whether confronting rumors about plastic surgery or addressing feuds with fellow celebrities like Vivica A. Fox and Taraji P. Henson, Union has shown time and again that she knows how to handle negativity with poise and confidence.
Union’s response to the plastic surgery rumors exemplifies her refusal to engage in unnecessary drama. Whether in the public eye or in her personal life, the actress continues to set the record straight with grace and authenticity, undeterred by the noise of celebrity gossip.
