Ashley Iaconetti set the record straight on if she’s gone under the knife.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island star, 38, addressed rumors surrounding her appearance during a recent Q&A on her podcast, “Almost Famous,” which she cohosts with fellow Bachelor Nation alum Ben Higgins. During the Friday, May 8, episode, Iaconetti shut down speculation that she had a rhinoplasty and revealed she’s “never had plastic surgery.”
“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 said, referring to rumors that Jenner, 30, got a nose job. “My sister had a nose job, my aunt had a nose job and my grandma had a nose job,” Iaconetti explained of the women in her family. “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.”
“My nose is natural, but Kendall says [her nose] got smaller with Accutane,” Iaconetti continued. “I also think my nose has gotten so much smaller with age.”
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.”
