'Bewitched' Star Erin Murphy Claps Back at Facelift Speculation

Erin Murphy is turning her nose up at plastic surgery rumors.

The Bewitched alum responded to fans who speculated that she has gone under the knife to achieve her youthful appearance, sharing that her face is all natural.

“This is 61…WITHOUT a facelift, without any makeup,” Erin wrote alongside an Instagram selfie Oct. 20. “Not sure why so many random people on social media feel the need to speculate that I’ve had a facelift; but I haven’t.” 

The former child star—who starred as Tabitha on Bewitched from 1966 to 1972 alongside Elizabeth Montgomery—mused that it could be a “backhanded compliment” with people thinking she looks good for her age. But that’s not how Erin sees it, as she looks at her face and sees so many moments from her life.

“I’ve got a scar on my forehead from when my head hit the pavement a couple years ago in a dog walking accident,” she continued. “I’ve got a scar under my chin from when it hit the kitchen floor when I was a little girl.”

She added, “I have smile lines around my eyes, since I laugh more than I cry. I’ve got some freckles and a little tan, since I love the sunshine.”

Ultimately, Erin encouraged her followers to take a moment before they “write something negative about someone you’ve never met.”

“Why don’t you think about something nice you can say, or don’t say anything at all,” she wrote. “Get outside and enjoy this beautiful day. That’s where I’ll be.”

Erin’s followers were delighted by her candid admission, with one writing in the comments, “You look absolutely gorgeous always with makeup and without!”

Another added, “You look fantastic! I never understood why people choose negativity instead of just scrolling by.. it shows how unhappy they are! You look great!! Loved Bewitch and your smile!!”

Over the years, Erin has looked back at her time on Bewitched, recently sharing where her character Tabitha might be be today.

“I think she would be very successful at whatever she did,” she shared with Remind Magazine in an interview published Oct. 17. “She would not be afraid to use her magic because women of my generation and Tabitha’s generation are free to be and do whatever they want.” 

Erin added, “I think she wouldn’t feel the need to hide in the closet. She would be out there living her best life.”

The rapper responded, "I really appreciate the love! I'm natural, besides my lips, accept the fact I'm naturally beautiful."

Drake

The "God's Plan" rapper shut down rumors in September 2025 that he had plastic surgery to make his abs more defined, explaining the fan speculation was a result of using a photo editing app.

"I came from the gym, I was sweaty in that pic," he said during an episode of Bobbi Althoff’s Not This Again podcast. "Maybe I heightened the saturation or something on it."

He added, "I think I hit it too hard. They don't look like that."

While Drake noted that people go under the knife "all the time," he isn’t one of them.

"People also say that I got a BBL," he continued, referencing the popular Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. "They call me 'BBL Drizzy.'"

The supermodel opened up about why she's all about embracing her skin at every age. 

"This is a 58 year old face without fillers, Botox or surgery in good light with professional gorgeous makeup," she wrote in an August 2023 Instagram caption. "I have chosen not to put anything 'into' my face."

She continued, "Some days, I like it. I feel like my face has gained character even as it's lost its youthful prettiness. And it seems a fair trade off."

The Oscar winner revealed whether or not she's gotten plastic surgery.

"My face is changing," she told Allure in an interview published August 2023, "and I love that my face is changing and aging. People think I had a facelift.

Lana Del Rey

The "Summertime Sadness" singer denied having a surgical procedure on her nose after a fan referenced her "natural nose."

“Still never even been under the knife or anesthesia in my life for the 15th year in a row!!” Lana wrote on Instagram in September 2025, per a screenshot captured by People. “But if u use filler like [my doctor] used to- to build up the bridge of your nose it looks tall no bump. Takes seven minutes.”

The nonsurgical rhinoplasty Lana referred is “a cosmetic procedure where dermal fillers are used to temporarily change the shape of your nose,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. Though the procedure is less invasive, the results only last up to six months.

The Friends actress did have a nose job when she was younger to fix a deviated septum, but has spoke out against Botox and other facial fillers.

"There is also this pressure in Hollywood to be ageless," she told Yahoo! Beauty in 2014. "I think what I have been witness to, is seeing women trying to stay ageless with what they are doing to themselves. I am grateful to learn from their mistakes, because I am not injecting s--t into my face."

"I've probably tried everything. I would be scared to go under the knife, but you know, talk to me when I'm 50. I'll try anything. Except I won't do Botox again, because I looked crazy," the actress told Harper's Bazaar in 2013.

"Nah. It's not my thing," the Oscar winner told MORE magazine in 2007. "I don't have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I'm fine with it. For me, it's really a self-image thing. Like, I'd rather have somebody go, "Wow, that girl has a big nose" than 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.' I'd rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am."

"I will never give in," she added. "I am an actress, I don't want to freeze the expression of my face."
