Ashley Iaconetti, known for her role on Real Housewives of Rhode Island, has recently addressed swirling rumors about her appearance, particularly concerning any possible plastic surgery. During a candid Q&A session on her podcast, “Almost Famous,” which she co-hosts with fellow Bachelor Nation alum Ben Higgins, Iaconetti made it clear that she has never gone under the knife. The episode aired on Friday, May 8, and was a platform for Iaconetti to debunk the speculation, specifically regarding a rhinoplasty.
In her discussion, Iaconetti drew a parallel to Kendall Jenner, who has also faced similar scrutiny about her appearance. “You know how Kendall Jenner says that she’s never had plastic surgery? Kendall — I understand what she’s saying about her nose, though,” Iaconetti remarked, referencing the rumors Jenner, now 30, has faced about having a nose job. She added a personal touch by explaining that while many women in her family have undergone nose surgeries, she has not. “My sister had a nose job, my aunt had a nose job, and my grandma had a nose job,” she shared. “My other grandma? Well, she didn’t want to have a nose job but let’s just say she doesn’t have a tiny nose and she’s alive and 102.”
Iaconetti continued to discuss the natural evolution of her own appearance. “My nose is natural, but Kendall says [her nose] got smaller with Accutane,” she noted, referencing the acne treatment. “I also think my nose has gotten so much smaller with age.”
Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner herself has been open about her minimal cosmetic enhancements. On the January 9 episode of Owen Thiele’s “In Your Dreams” podcast, Jenner proudly stated, “I swear to God, I’ve done two rounds of baby Botox in my forehead [and] that’s it,” emphasizing that this is the extent of cosmetic procedures she has undergone. Jenner’s openness about her experiences serves to dispel the myths surrounding her appearance.
Kendall Jenner is proud that she’s only rarely dabbled with cosmetic procedures. “I swear to God, I’ve done two rounds of baby Botox in my forehead [and] that’s it,” Jenner, 30, said on the Friday, January 9, episode of Owen Thiele’s “In Your Dreams” podcast. “[That’s] the only thing I’ve ever injected.” Jenner further debunked […]
Iaconetti went on to say that in old photos, her nose was “so much wider.”
“Now I’m wondering, is it just acne medication in general? Because if [Kendall’s] not lying, my nose [also] got smaller once I started Spironolactone at 24.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Iaconetti doubled down that she’s never gone “under the knife” and has “never been under anesthesia.”
“I get my lips injected about once a year and I’ve been doing that for about 11 years,” Iaconetti shared. “I got it for the first time going into Bachelor in Paradise. And then, I get Botox — really mine lasts a long time. I think my forehead’s kinda trained at this point so it’s really every 5 months.”
She continued, “And then once a year I’ll do Botox in my masseter muscles — my jaw. And then the other thing that I love is chin filler, which I’ve done for 7 years.”
Iaconetti noted that she’s not a “big fan” of having filler in her cheeks.
Jenner previously squashed rumors that she secretly underwent a rhinoplasty during a January episode of the “In Your Dreams” podcast. “I swear to God, I’ve done two rounds of baby Botox in my forehead [and] that’s it,” she said.
“For any young fan that’s watching this video, thinking, ‘I’m just going to run and get a nose job … or whatever it is,’” Jenner continued. “I will say the nose job allegations I’ve gotten, I would believe them if it wasn’t me. I look at old photos of me and I’m like, ‘Wait, it does look like I’ve had a nose job.’”
Jenner shared that with time, she simply “grew into her nose.”
“It did look wider and it did feel bigger on my face when I was younger,” she explained. “I also … did Accutane for my acne, and there’s a theory on TikTok that acne shrinks your nose and, you guys, I swear it’s true.”
