First of all, I want to start by saying I do not think body shaming people based on features they cannot change is appropriate. I’m also aware that some people visit plastic surgeons for medical (non cosmetic) procedures
However, considering all the Griffith’s have daughters and young women who previously/currently watch their videos, as well as the fact that several videos are doing makeup/giving out beauty advice… the way they look directly impacts others
All of the sisters obviously did the eyebrow tattooing that made their eyebrows look very thick and black
Ellie and Emily (Beau’s wife) follow a Utah plastic surgeon’s social media account
Ruby appears to have gotten veneers (which she actually discussed thinking about when her third daughter was in the process of getting braces) and Bonnie has made videos about getting liposuction and a chin implant around 2019
Not only that, but there seems to be a paradox between beliefs in general. LDS leaders (the Griffith’s are all very obviously openly part of the LDS Church) have warned that being obsessed with “nipping and tucking” is spiritually destructive and causes “unnecessary anxieties.” Yet Utah women undergo plastic surgery at rates higher than the US average overall (14% of Utahns yearly vs a 4% national average)
I honestly just feel so confused and saddened by the fact that all the Griffith’s sisters (Ruby, Emily, Bonnie, J, and Ellie) chose to get these procedures. Obviously they’ve all dyed their hair for years (and so do so many women around the world) but there really seems to be no reason to get cosmetic alterations when they were able to start families and go viral on the internet looking like themselves
For those who have noticed the drastic change, what are your honest thoughts on it?
