Loyal reader Lucienda sent in this Instagram post of a personal trainer disrespecting R&B music icon Gladys Knight who had extensive cosmetic procedures.
The music legend is being rudely dragged online for simply improving her looks.
Gladys is a 73-year-old entertainer. There is nothing wrong with an aging entertainer tightening her jowls and wrinkles.

She looks a bit younger, her eyes look she had work too–they took the bags away…
hell at least she kept her nose … She looks fine to me… Let folks do what they do.. .
She looks quite refreshed, I’m not mad at her, she doesn’t look like a new species like some of them. I think her doctor did a great job. I’m all for tastefully done surgery.
Could be photo shop too?
She literally looks 20 years younger. I hope the rest of her is in good shape. I would love to be a fly on her wall lol. Her body is still that of a 73 year old. Hopefully she taking of herself internally.
Leave us ladies alone in the game for youth. Men got it bad just as we do.

Chile, Gladys look 56! I guess she and K. Michelle run in the same circles…tuh!
She looks damn good, she didn’t go overboard.
Her surgeon did a wonderful job..she must be in good shape to go under the knife at her age.
I hate hair that looks like fire!
Is that real or photoshop? She looks good, and they look like they did her neck too! Didn’t know that was possible.
Shit if i can scale back 20 years at that age I definitely will. All that eating healthy dont help wrinkles and saggy body. Especially if you been eating unhealthy your entire life. I bet his ass on steroids
Well done if you ask me..
Looks lean and younger.. but scary.. maybe it’s the photo.
OVERBOARD ???I hope Pun intended.
Gladys looks amazing! Women can be so hateful towards one another. I don’t get it.
I giggled at this, I never thought of it that way.
The middle finger to the naysayers… At what age was she suppose to do this…40? I think not!! Wait until your 70 and then ride the rest of your life to the end…WTF SHE GOT TO LOOSE!!! FOH!
At least she didn’t go to far with it. I think it looks decent and she did it at the right age to be in the entertainment industry, she looks fine. Unlike twenty and thirty years olds doing it and looking jacked up.
And she looks damn good and her surgeon was the bomb.
I think she looks good. I wouldn’t call it a new face because all of her features still looks like the same (nose, eyes, etc) She just had that skin tighten. Nothing wrong with that. Whoever did it, did a good job. Hell, you never know, it may not be any work at all. It could be just an over the top makeup job, and weight loss in her face.
right! I love how subtle the change is!
LOL!
First picture is a respectable matriarch with a vast and beautiful history.
Second picture is a drag queen that has lost all credibility.
I like the first one. Hey granny!
Considering how great she looks, her surgeon did wonders and her health made it possible. Younger women are out here getting knifed up by box cutter surgeons and don’t look half as good as the work Gladys has had done. Go gladys. Love you!
Well she slaying so stfu the ones hating on her
WTF he mean take care of yourself so “This” doesn’t happen? By “THIS” you mean “aging” people are so dumb….I’m logging off for the day…Yall dragging icons like Gladys now…this world so evil….
Give me that Love Overboard beat. Kick it!
They tell me, Gladys, Gladys you know you wrong for that. You look like a kitty cat.
But I only tell them that my face needed work. Now I can take my ass out and make it twerk.
They say, girlfriend, you know you gone too far.
LOL. Just playing y’all. Gladys, looks nice.
Dead. I’m logging off and taking you with me…
She has given us so much wonderful soul music l find l dont really care. A lot of big changes are on the way with technology moving faster than humanity is evolving
Good night Roses!
More than half of those people with so much to say are only a third her age and already need whatever procedure she had plus some therapy, psych meds and an exorcism.
her face is at rest in one picture and she’s smiling in the other.
meh. do what you like to your face.
querstion: why is there such a thing as “Youtube Drama”? and why am i listening to these messy gossips?
WHO u listening to on u tube?? I’m ?. Lol
She looks like a younger version of HERSELF. Bravo to the doc.
Lawd Gladys ??.
Nope! If I find out my man does this, I would leave immediately. He can’t say shat to me either cause I don’t do makeup, weaves, fake lashes, etc. I’m real af…(as you can see in my avi hahahaha).
I clicked on some video with some girl with a thousand receipts who had attempted to do business with a “Glamazontay” youtuber person. I got sucked into that story. Then I clicked on another story, something about HeFlawless and Sky Santana and something else. That was too convoluted so I gave into this and searched youtube for “drama, tea, youtubers” and now i’m listening to something about John Kukian and GigiDaDoll and Alex915. LOL.
I think she looks refreshed and natural unlike many others who go under the knife. I think she looks great
Darnell needs to worry about his own looks.
I was getting ready to say the same thing
Ain’t no collagen developing at 73! What kind of man sits back and picks apart a 73 year old woman’s looks? Who asked his opinion? He must be from Atlanta, talking about he has a fear of aging. Girl, bye! It’s men like him who won’t let women age in peace. Always got something to say. Taking care of yourself doesn’t change everything and genetics also come into play. She looks amazing. I don’t think she looked that good young. Everybody needs to go to her plastic surgeon. He or she did that.
She doesn’t look plastic. She’s got a rejuvenated look. I approve. Most folks aren’t that lucky
Looking young when you die must be the new thing.
You sound jealous of granny!
Is that a no for a Darnell Morning Wood post tomorrow? ?
It’s a hell no!!
I just song that in her voice lol
Boy bye he probably thinks Khloe & Kim did squats and Kylie went through puberty.
You don’t have enough responses to address me so shu fly….
?

yet they all buy ‘bundles’. leave that lady alone!
That looks like heavy makeup and contouring. Gladys looks great in both photos. The Kardashians & Jenner’s (and their friends Blac Chyna, Lala and Ciara) are significantly younger than Knight and had obviously more surgeries than Knight and Ms. Love Overboard looks younger and better than they. That’s so wrong. ???
These “men” today wondering about everything that has to do with a woman makes you wonder..
When Lil Hots showed me this I was floored and they always call us fake.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
She looks good, she looks perky. Patti Labelle probably encouraged her.
She looks good! She needs to tell the youngins where she got her work done because everybody else coming out looking like that Miss Swan on In Livibg Color.
I went to a cosmetic surgeon consultation about 5 years ago and they told me I didn’t need it. Now, 5 years later, I feel I need a little touchup.
That second face to the right got that refreshed glow/look after a good session of sex.
She looks GREAT!!!! Why would this woman, of a particular age, being dragged for getting work done, when you have 18 to 25 year old IG chicks getting work done and their bodies have barely finished developing. Enters “Double Standard”
She probably had a boob lift also. She’s a married woman you know! Younger husband!
You better come through with the TRUTH

Gladys Knight……LEGEND
Okay so bye granny!
Im not being funny..nor am i gay bashing, i feel women, particularly black women are bashed by gay men…specifically the bottoms.
Ms. Gladys Got on the Midnight Train to Georgia and got her entire Face.
I’m sorry but the face I have on right now says….”I don’t care if you can’t age gracefully”. But do you, because I’ve yet to see someone who has altered themsleves die looking like anything but a hot mess. Soon people are going to schedule their deaths just to make sure they’re fresh off a Botox touch up.
Y’all MF’s need to knock it off….Gladys looks AMAZING.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/82d86e31897e35519fc1888720cae511efd79444d9b60fe81bb7c5da0143ed91.jpg
Very beetchy isn’t he not very gentlemanly at all…maybe it just his nature. but before she was just fine for 63 just fine…it can be a bit creepy when you look way too young for your age
To be honest this is excellent work! Plastic surgery done right because she looks like a younger version of herself! Most people end up looking like somebody else.
If he is going to come for Gladys for having a makeover he will have to go over dam near the entire entertainment industry.
Sorry people but she almost looks like Jermaine Jackson in the new picture!
I think she looks fantastic! We only have a short period on this earth, why not reverse the clock if you can.
She looks good! I thought it was Iyanla at first.
Didn’t want to laugh because she’s a legend??????????
What does he expect Gladys to do…Let her face & Tiddays drop to the floor like Aretha’s?.
I’m going to be honest and say she looks really good and not stiff looking
I think she looks fine – but the hair is a no!
But every other celebrity, whether 73 or 13, is ok? Stupid. the brainwashing is real for ppl. Everything ppl “other” ppl do is enviable but let oithers do it, it’s shameful. Go ahead, Gladys! You deserve our respect, always.
I love it!
If it didn’t affect her vocals – good for her. I don’t think it looks horrible, it’s not even bad. I’ve seen worse.
Come on 73!! She looks great to me.
She looks good. Leave her alone, damn.
Agreed, she’s 73. That’s the age to tighten things up, not in your 20’s and 30’s. She earned evety penny to pay for the surgery so what’s the problem. Leave folks alone, especially the elders.
She still has to keep up an image. If you have the resources to get tucked and tightened up, go for it. I’m all for people feeling good about themselves vs all of us looking like life got a hold of you and beat the living schit out of you before sending you to bible study.
I love it. Bye haters. At her age, she can do whatever the hell she wants. That’s between her and Jesus and He don’t care!
Yes, rejuvenated. I like your word choice. Go Gladys
Gladys looks good. Sandra cranked these posts out today, thanks.
Good. I am glad she finally did something. I have seen her in person a number of times.
#Praise the Lord.
LOL
Let that lady live..she looks good to me not plastic at all, just like herself. Kudos to her plastic surgeon!
I’m screaming!!
LOL!
That’s all make-up and lighting.
That’s so funny. Like life got a hold of you and beat the living shit out of you before sending you to bible study?????????. I don’t understand that look unless something really tragic happened. Even then, pray and release it. God says you’re supposed to look like it never happened to you!
I LOVE Gladys, always have, and she is one very beautiful and classy woman. I think she looks fantastic. Let her live!
Ok so? She worked her whole life to get whatever she wants. If it’s a facelift so what?
she looks good to me?????
Why do men always feel the need to commentate on what women wear, do cosmetically, and do to their hair? They have no clue what it means to be a woman; so annoying!!!!! I would never let a man train or deal with me that is petty enough to post something like that about a living legend. darnell_acts_trains you played yourself Mitch!
word !!! stay in YO LANE !!!
She looks Gina and natural to me. She isn’t overdone and she didn’t over do it either.
I like dineva. Unwine with Tasha. And lovely ty.
Boiiiiiiiii that caption almost choked Me! “GLADYSSSSSSS”
I think she looks good…I’m glad she’s out here living her best life.
Facts! Unless they come to u & say “well what about this” then add your two cents otherwise shut up.
I think she has a younger husband soooooo… there’s that…?????
Man! Been holding my tongue on this for years. Sick and darn tired of it!!!
Go head Gladys. She look damn good.
She looks good!!! Are we sure she got work or is it just good make up and lighting?????
Gladys looks great, all you haters, what do you need fixing.
She looks fantastic, those haters need to stand down.
73!!!! GTFOH!! Go Glady’s tight face and all! lol, she still looks goodt! because chicks in they 20s do the same and wont possibly be looking like her at that age. the internet is a bully! hahahaha…
Now that I look at this picture again it looks like photo-shop. She appears to have gotten cheeks implants, her nose done, bags under eyes removed and even her lips look smaller than before. Her neck has no lines or rolls (key indicator of photo-shop) and if you look at her arms in the picture on the right they are much smaller than the picture on the left. This is either someone’s idea of photo-shop or this is a picture of Gladys from 40 years ago.
She had to put up with the Pips and their powder blue suits and choreographed “train” steps. She earned it. Seriously let her live if it makes her happy then go for it. She looks good she could hv hopped on the assembly line like alot of women are doing. As long as she is not rocking a bikini with a huge ass courtesy of redistributed fat. And post pics on Instagram hashtagged #SNAPBACK #GETYOURTICKETFORTHEMIDNIGHTTRAIN
Anybody remember her reality show?
I guess not all black ppl want to age gracefully. But she’s in her 70s, if she wants to live the rest of her life always looking surprised, then that’s on her!
I don’t think she looks all that bad
KRis Jenner can do it. Why can’t she?
MISS Gladys Knights looks GOOD. Hating azz hood rats!
She can do whatever she wants!
Beautiful…..Lil Kim take notes, this is how it should be done. What is the name of the surgeon, let me start a GO FUND ME.
Speaking of Gladys, I hope everything is okay after that restaurant debacle. Gladys has two kids. She has an “ain’t shit” son and she has a daughter who appears to be a decent person.
Gladys let the “ain’t shit son license her name for his chicken and waffle restaurants that he operated in Georgia. Instead of paying the sales taxes owed to Georgia, he was pocketing that money to the tune of at least a million dollars. Feds came in and raided the joint about 2 years ago. Sometimes you got to cut family to the quick and phase them out of your life. Hopefully she has found some peace after that mess.
I think she looks good, I don’t see anything wrong with a little plastic surgery here and there if that’s what you want.
Here is a piece of advice ladies: If people can tell that you had cosmetic surgery, then you went to the wrong surgeon and probably had no business getting cut on in the first place. Gladys looks horrible, the nose the face, the hair, a mess. So very sad that women are so insecure. What idiot goes to get surgery that’s not medically necessary??? The hell???
Love yourself, do some yoga, see your doctor regularly, eat better foods, and get the toxic people out of your life and you will look and feel more beautiful :)!
I think her husband is younger and she’s trying to keep up with him?! She doesn’t want him to treat her like her ex husband Barry Henkerson Aaliyah’s uncle!
She doesn’t want to look like Aretha! Let her live!
If that’s the case, then she is married to the wrong man. If they can’t love me for who I am and like I am, they can take a permanent walk. I guess I must have grown up differently and had different experiences with men than some women have. My mother and grandmothers all aged naturally and seemed very confident. I just hate that so many women are so insecure and trying to compete with others. It makes them look ridiculous and in need of mental health treatment. It is just very sad. Not to be funny, but some people do not realize that if you are not naturally pretty, there is nothing that you can do that will make you appear that way. Just learn to love who you are. You don’t have to be drop dead gorgeous to feel good about yourself.
I think she looks nice! I wouldn’t do it, but good for her.
I think she looks great. And besides in the industry her face is her business card.
Gladys always looks nice and still does with whatever she did. I was watching her Master Class and saying how pretty she still was. She just added to it.
Lol
She looks good 2 me, much better, might I add..
She needed it!!!!
Omg holllllllaaaaaaa!!!!!
I think the dragging is coming from her doing all the work at once and not gradually improving here and there. But so what, she looks great! Get it, Ms. Gladys!
She does look amazing. Why all the negativity?
I think it’s make up and if she did do the botox, big whoop. You go Gladys.
To avoid all this ridicule, she really is gonna have to catch that midnight train. ?
She looks good and it makes me want to get it after seeing Dawn Richard , delicious,k Michelle ,now Gladys she looks great this the same thing Kris Jenner n all them rich white folks do. Now g trying stay up n make-sure her blk don’t Crack .
She look DAMN good in this photo. LIKE FORREAL FORREAL. Whoever did tbat ig post aint ish tho. They said “nvm the caption” like they couldnt crop that out. Anyway downstairs iss a comment saying this a old photo. I wouldnt doubt it until i saw more pics
I totally agree. I wanna see more pictures cause this look too good.i aint knockin her. I just cant believe surgury and make up can do that. But she look dayum good tho
Tell it!!! They out here in their 20s lookin like the photo on the right.
Whoever did her work ….. he did a great job better than most.
Truth be told she a walking advertisement
I think Ms. Gladys looks very nice! ? ? ?
She looks good to me…. I get tired of seeing all of them get the same nose, chin, the same loopy booty or the booty that look like concreate.
If she did good for her
Because she looks good…..and don’t look like she went to the standard Hollywood surgeon
Come on now preach! Its queen bitch shade. No disrespect to nobody and everybody got they freedom of speech but that ish right there….. He hella shady. Case in point: “nvm the caption” his MITCH ass could have cropped the caption out. Shady ass queen.
because we some watered down neegrowpeans but we can’t come together and build back black wall street but we can constantly put black women down!!!
If i were wealthy and old, I’d have every surgery possible to keep looking fly and youthful. Eff aging with grace I’m gonna be a fly girl til i die!! Lol
Gladys can sing her axx off!!
At 73 yes, buy a new face. Why are people complaining when these middle age Milfs, and young thots, rearrange their faces on a regular. For example; Delicious is unrecognizable. She’s walking around, looking like a pale, bleached, busted China Doll……
test
In show business you always have to be camera ready. Now don’t tell me Diana Ross hasn’t had something done to her face – botox, fillers, skin creams!!! Even Martha Stewart said she hasn’t had cosmetic surgery, but she lathers her face with moisturizer day and night
Look at Jane fonda, at 80, she looks 60. You have to be camera ready!
Moisturizer isn’t surgery…
I’ve always said plastic surgery is for older ppl who wanna look a lil younger not for 20 something’s who want duck faces, huge melons and Kardashian ass…
I agree and said the same thing. She looks great. Why drag legendary Ms. Gladys? People are just mean to be mean.
Looking surprised.
My goodness
I think she lies… it is more than moisturizer.
Her face…
Her money…
Her career…
Her Choice!
she looks great
Instagram drags Gladys who is a elder woman but will praise non black women who are getting extreme swan plastic surgery makeovers in their 20s and 30s…
I don’t think that’s Gladys in that picture. I think that person is a doppelganger
She looks 20 years younger….Get it Gladys!!
RIGHT!!!
Gladys looks 38 , the doctor did that. Ma about to get her back blowed out! Hopefully they tuned up the 73 engine ,under the hood as well. Or Gladys will need a hip replacement soon! Lol….. Aarp @ it’s finest….????
Log out, NOW!!! LOL
?????????
?????????
Chloe Kardashian has had so much surgery she no longer looks like Lurch. That is perfectly ok with black folks, including the black man who supposedly impregnated her, but let a black woman spend her OWN money to do what she wants with her face and body and suddenly it’s a problem.
She looks great and didn’t overdo. Her beautiful facial features are still present! She’s a legend and she did what was right for her..Bravo to the surgeon.
She looks good! She got a good doctor. Just because you have issues/fears with aging doesn’t mean this lady shouldnt do what she wants for herself.
Of course it’s a black man…(nonattractive) at that and is dissing a older sister and probably on the flip side lust after kim k looking chicks or frail white women….?..she looks beautiful!! For this grown man to even be concerned about another woman’s looks he isn’t sexually attracted too speaks volumes on his sexuality!! #HowYouDoin ???????? Should’nt even care….? #NotAGoodLook must not be getting any….usually men that diss women like that are suffering and neglected down there…very feminine to act out that way!!! Black men stop this bs!!! Black women deal with enough hate its more sadistic coming from our own kind especially our men out here doing that bs!! Sad! If you men love natural sisters so much focus on uplifting that in a positive light!! Maybe many other sisters that don’t feel that way about themselves will notice that our men are more attracted to our natural beauty then our superficial beauty!! But until you black men change how you view and love women that may never change! And you will see more sisters choosing the superficial route for superficial attention and love. Rather it’s internal or external.
She looks fantastic. Women just can’t win. If she did nothing he would be calling her an old hag who’s not relevant. She gets her face snatched by a topnotch doctor, looks really beautiful and this negro is still not satisfied!! Women are always judged on their looks. I don’t blame her for getting work done. If you have the money and a doctor who is good at his craft and can have you looking thirty years younger, why not??? I love it!!!
LOLLOLLOL!!!!! Gladys is revved up and ready to go!!!
Yep!!! I didn’t even know it was her….
darnell_acts_trains
he loves kadashians
Omigod i bout choked on this comment
I dont like it
her money, her face, her business. Plus the guy who wrote that…..he hating cause he is broke and cant afford to have the same thing….HATERS!!
Colorism is serious and the over criticism of black women but the praise of other women because these men have extremely low cultural esteem.
His old sassy self! ???
Wow. She saw herself in her current state and knew she could change it. I applaud her. Doesn’t she have a younger man?
To me, it actually doens’t look like she had that much done, face-wise. Of course, eye bags and sagging around the mouth that is normal with age. And perhaps she lost some weight. But other than that, I think that Ms. Knight, as a beneficiary of blackness, was not looking too bad for 73.
I recall seeing Louise Linton (married to the US Secretary of Treasury) and shuddering at the amount of Obvious plastic surgery she has had done. I googled her and she is 37 years old. Scottish, too. So then I imagine she will look like the crypt keeper in 10 years.
Men (straight, gay, whatever) are always complaining about women’s looks. Men are the ones who created standards of beauty unattainable for most humans beings. Funny thing is that so many of the complainers look like they have a horsefly as a recent ancestor.
Looks good to me white folks doing it all the time. Plus Black don’t crack for everybody.
YASSSSSS Ms. Gladys!!!!! You are my GOALS. YOU look AMAZING!!!!!!!
Fuck what you heard, Gladys looks good!!!!!!!
I agree. Looks like a female impersonator rather than Gladys. Rather cartoonish.
I ain’t mad at Gladys! She looks hot and just WOW! This may be the one time I approve of a celebrity’s face lift. Get it, girl!
Stop! ???
many of the complainers look like they have a horsefly as a recent ancestor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For real!!!! LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!
BLACK FOLKS CAN’T SEE THE FOREST FOR LOOKING AT ONE TREE. SHE LOOKS GREAT, HEALTHY AND APPROPRIATE! IF SHE LOOKED RUFF AND DIDN’T INVEST IN HERSELF THEY WOULD DRAG HER, SO THERE IS NO WINNING. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FACIAL ENHANCEMENT SURGERIES DONE TO DATE! GIVE HER AND HER DR. PROPS. THE DRAGGING IS UNWARRANTED….SMH
She looks great.
She looks good!
It actually looks good. She didn’t go too far. Just a face-lift.
Ummm…she has the money to do it and she looks good…do your thang Gladys!
Leave her alone and STOP hatin. People always have something negative to say SMH. She looks good, and it’s HER body!!!
Test what?
I don’t suppport or encourage cosmetic surgery but she looks damn good!
Shit…she’s gives us aging women hope…can you imagine every time you turn around someone asking you are you tired, are you getting enough sleep?? Bet they’re not asking that now…Our girl is looking rested…
I like it
Good for her. She looks great?
Yes hunty! My uncle had a lounge for about 3 decades. They played the hell out of her song Midnight train to Georgia. ?
She looks great! Maybe it’s the hairstyle that’s a little “off.”
You mean her wig line..but that’s always fixable
She trying to morph into Mary J Blige, she looks great!
I think she looks absolutely marvelous!
Shoot she looks great. They did a good .
Shoot she looks great. They did a good .
Why don’t you not support it?
You so fucking ugly
Thanks baby lol
Why have unneccessary surgery?
