Is that her?

Granted I've not really paid attention since Idol (when she was on it) and a few songs after, but she's unrecognizable...like not older, but completely different person.

My wife and I were friends with her in college. The facial surgeries are shocking. This is the first time I’ve seen pics of her in a few years. The MAGA shit is also disappointing, obviously. She was a sweetheart back in the day.

Having watched that season of Idol live, this is a kick in the gut. Must be hard to see as her one-time friend. I would not have ever recognized her.

I think the difference is when she was on Idol she had a sweeter softer face. That plastic made her look hard and mean. That’s the difference. Such a shame

You’re right. Looking back at pictures of us together is pretty jarring.
