"Katherine Ryan's podcast is called Telling Everybody Everything, and she does. The comedian is honest to a fault: her comments are regularly reported out of context to create clickbait news stories that give people the wrong idea of what she meant and of her as a human, but she doesn't stop. Her commitment to truth, especially in the celebrity world she inhabits, is as unusual as it is admirable."
"On her most recent podcast episode, she confirmed that the operation she had told listeners about in December not revealing the details because she feared that documenting the surgery could turn it into a work project was a full facelift. Ryan is 42. (Side note: does this mean it won't be a TV show? If so, big mistake. Huge.) It's probably unnecessary to clarify that I'm a fan. I love her sharp wit and intelligence, but also her spirit, her boldness,"
"This USP of telling everybody everything means that the parasocial relationship between Ryan and me is thriving. I believe not only that I know her and her family but that we're friends, with much in common. That's why this news has cut so deep, no pun intended. I applaud her openness, especially when her peers insist that their youthful glow is down to drinking water, sleep, or using the miracle cream they happen to be promoting."
Katherine Ryan hosts Telling Everybody Everything and confirmed on her podcast that the operation she previously mentioned in December was a full facelift at age 42. Her comments are regularly reported out of context to create clickbait, yet she persists in candid honesty. Her commitment to truth contrasts with celebrity tendencies to credit youth to water, sleep, or miracle creams. A fan describes a thriving parasocial relationship with Ryan and reports feeling judged, oddly betrayed, and conflicted about ageing after the revelation. The fan also notes the reported 16,000-worth cost and worries that cosmetic tweaks make natural ageing seem unacceptable.
