Recently, a tabloid report claimed actress Nicole Kidman was “binging” on Botox and fillers to keep her skin from aging. However, the allegations of Kidman’s addiction to cosmetic procedures was proved false by Gossip Cop.

The claims were brought on by the NW magazine, which quoted a plastic surgeon to give provide a verdict on whether Kidman overindulged on cosmetic procedures or not by only analyzing her recent photos.

Without having ever met or interacted with Kidman in the past, the professional went about giving her expert opinion on the matter saying she “appears to possibly have had too much filler in her lips and cheeks, and Botox in her forehead, causing her to look a bit too plastic.”

The tabloid also never mentioned the kind of makeup a person puts on before taking the photo or the kind of lighting the picture is taken in plays a huge role in determining the appearance of the subject in it.

It was unlikely the claims of the tabloid were genuine, given the fact that Kidman had admitted to using Botox in a 2013 interview, adding she regretted going for the procedure, calling it an “unfortunate move.”

"No surgery for me; I did try Botox, unfortunately, but I got out of it and now I can finally move my face again," she told Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "I wear sunscreen, I don't smoke and I take care of myself, and I am proud to say that. Anybody can do anything to themselves - I don't judge - but personally I believe in being physically fit. That's how I was raised.”

Moreover, Gossip Cop reached to Kidman’s rep who rubbished the tabloid’s narrative. NW’s story also did not list any “source” close to the actress on record, instead heavily relying on the world of a physician who never personally treated the “Eyes Wide Shut” actress.

The bogus tabloid was known to spin false narratives a number of times in the past. When it comes to Kidman, the publication has tried to claim trouble was brewing between the actress and her husband Keith Urban and the latter was begging his wife to take a break from her career to focus on their marriage. In that instance too, the tabloid’s claims were debunked.
