Althouse: "Today I’m releasing those false narratives, the parts of me that were never actually parts of me."

September 27, 2025

"Today I’m releasing those false narratives, the parts of me that were never actually parts of me."

"I’m letting go of the body that was sexualized, that was abused, that I believed was necessary for me to be attractive; to be loved; to be successful; to be happy.... Today I am loved, I am feminine, I am attractive, and I am successful. None of that is because of my implants. I will still be all of those things when I wake up and they are gone. There is so much and joy in that knowledge and freedom in letting go of what was never me in the first place. Today, I’m my authentic self. Today, I’m free."

Said Alyssa Milano, quoted in "Alyssa Milano removes her breast implants: 'Letting go of the body that was sexualized and abused'"(NY Post).

pious agnostic said...: I have long considered Alyssa Milano a poster child for the horrible damage that Hollywood does to children. She was a lovely child actress, almost certainly betrayed and sexually abused by adults; the result being years of hatred, of herself, and of the world at large. Her words and actions have been the spoiled fruit of her abuse as a young girl. Her implants are a symptom of what she had learned was her only value: as a sexual object.

I hope she recovers physically, emotionally, and most especially, spiritually from the poison she has ingested during her life.; 9/27/25, 9:28 AM
Ice Nine said...: Ever the grandstander. (Pssst...No one gives a shit, Aly.); 9/27/25, 9:28 AM
Wince said...: Easier than penis reconstruction, and I'm assuming Milano didn't have the implant surgery done while she was still a child.

Speaking of "false narratives," how can anyone who supports Milano's decision now endorse sexual reassignment surgery for children?; 9/27/25, 9:30 AM

I remember when Alyssa was an apparently sane child actor. Pepperidge Farm remembers too.; 9/27/25, 9:32 AM

Achilles said...: Alyssa Milano uses her beauty and sex to get rich.

She feels bad about it. Not because she was a whore but because people understand she is a dumb person who slept with producers to get jobs and nobody listens to her.

Now she removes her implants because the skin is sagging and she pretends she had any sort of useful talent outside of her body.

This pattern is so boring at this point.; 9/27/25, 9:38 AM

Enigma said...: Alyssa is 52 years old. I suspect this has as much to do with menopause as anything else. She's likely not interested in sex anymore, and this removal may reduce male attention. Female sex hormones fall off a cliff at menopause, and some women become relative loners.; 9/27/25, 9:47 AM

Aggie said...: Ah, geez. Don't know anything about her history, but if she's from Hollywood, then I suspect the same need for attention that drives her to tell us 'all about her implant removal' is the same need that caused her to get implants in the first place.; 9/27/25, 9:52 AM

Leland said...: I never found her beautiful from the inside. That may have happened to her more so than how she might have turned out otherwise, but what she did externally just never mattered.; 9/27/25, 9:59 AM
james said...: Hum. She worked in an industry that prioritizes female sexual attractiveness and maximized her career with artificial enhancements. She's giving some of it up now that everyone knows she is too old to be a sex idol. And insists on self-righteously pontificating on it.

Real profile in courage.; 9/27/25, 10:01 AM

JK Brown said...: Yet another woman who conformed to the female inclusion conformity. Starts in middle school and most women never escape the need to be like the women around them.

Social media just made it a 24/7 problem for women. Boys and men often find value in non-conformity once they realize that trying to fit in at school is a fools errand.

“Imagine being in the worst aspects of junior high school, 24 hours a day, forever.”
--Greg Lukianoff on social media

""The intoxication of rouge," earnestly explained Dorothy Speare in Dancers in the Dark, "is an insidious vintage known to more girls than mere man can ever believe." Useless for frantic parents to insist that no lady did such things; the answer was that the daughters of ladies were doing it, and even retouching their masterpieces in public. Some of them, furthermore, were abandoning their corsets. "The men won't dance with you if you wear a corset," they were quoted as saying."
---‘Only Yesterday An Informal History Of The Nineteen Twenties’, Frederick Lewis Allen (1931)

I also remember her in an episode of a reboot of "The Outer Limits" from sometime in the early 1990s or so. I always thought she was very beautiful and looking at recent photos she still is.; 9/27/25, 10:47 AM

Deep State Reformer said...: Yah. Take the silicone titties out and announce to the world because....? Sheesh. They think we're dying to know this shit. She was happy enough to be a sexualized commodity when the phones were ringing and the checks were being cashed. But now Milano's seen the light. Beware the reformed whore.; 9/27/25, 11:34 AM
Randomizer said...: I’m letting go of the body that was sexualized,

Milano sexualized her body. She did that and profited from it. She was on the Charmed TV show for eight years. She didn't just have boobs, she displayed them like a tray of hors d’oeuvres.

I am not against an actress getting a boob job to enhance her career prospects or getting them removed when they become dead weight, just spare us the sanctimonious victim narrative.; 9/27/25, 11:38 AM

Eva Marie said...: “Oh, Bull. Her Mother was with her the whole way. It was Milano and her Mother in the early days of the internet who tried in vain to stop online publication of her nude photos.”
Your comment contradicts itself.
First those nude photos were stills from 2 movies she made when she was in her early 20s.
So why did she agree to do nude scenes? She wouldn’t have a job as an actress if she didn’t. My friend’s daughter went to Hollywood. They required nudity in the auditions. She refused but she also never got in the movies. I kinda thought she was exaggerating but Jennifer Lawrence mentioned that herself. It was a requirement of auditions. And yes every movie with a sweet young thing filmed if not included nude scenes.
A bit of a different topic but if you listen to the commentary to Risky Business you’ll find out that they filmed Tom Cruise’s iconic scene in one take. But in the beginning of the movie there’s a scene of a young girl taking a shower. The scene is misty and takes maybe 2 or 3 seconds. Do you know it took all day to film that scene. That poor young woman, in front of a full crew, had to do that scene all day long so the director could get it just right.
So, no, I’m not surprised Alyssa Milano was damaged by her experiences in Hollywood.; 9/27/25, 11:58 AM
Biff said...: @pious agnostic at 9:28 AM

Very well said! Places like Hollywood, once you are in them, can change you incrementally, day by day, so that within a few years, you are someone you never imagined you would be.

This is especially true for a child actress. Milano became a star at twelve, with a hit tv show and a significant role in a Schwarzenegger movie.

In 2025, Alyssa Milano may be hyper-woke leftwing wacko, but she had a lot of help getting there.; 9/27/25, 12:09 PM

I had a brief, outsider's glimpse of Hollywood life in my twenties. I'm no prude, but I was floored by how open, blatant, and g-d damned creepy the mistreatment of children and young adults was and how it seemed that everyone simply accepted it as normal and expected. It's frankly a miracle any time that a person who grew up in that environment grows up to be reasonably well-adjusted.; 9/27/25, 12:19 PM

Lazarus said...: Alyssa Milano has been very outspoken about politics. She's more than a little crazy. So this becomes an opportunity for people who disagree to pile on against her when it's really a non-issue of no importance to anyone. She shouldn't have tried to make it one to begin with.; 9/27/25, 12:36 PM
Rabel said...: "Your comment contradicts itself.

I see no contradiction. She was an adult. She made a decision to do nude scenes.

Nor do I see abuse. She had agency. She made the call.; 9/27/25, 12:53 PM
fleg9bo said...: If I recall correctly, Milano was very outspoken in favor of defunding the police. But she didn't let that stop her from calling the police when a threat materialized near her home. Immediately after on "The View" she clarified her stance, explaining that by defunding the police she was really calling for "a radical reconstruction of society."; 9/27/25, 1:13 PM
rhhardin said...: Breasts are humor devices. Women have to do something with them, a decision. It's particularly notable for solo musicians, whom you watch for many minutes on end without much to do with your eyes. Yuja Wang is a breast display lady. Violinists, with bowing motions, can intermittently display large amounts of breast occasionally, which is good for keeping attention. Korean choruses go for uniformity in breast placement in the women's section.

But always the woman has to make a choice.; 9/27/25, 1:15 PM

Actors and actresses, I find, are, by and large, a pretty tedious group.; 9/27/25, 1:18 PM
rhhardin said...: Imus reported that kissing an implant breast was like kissing a beach ball. A woman on the staff wound up with nipples facing too far outwards and needed a redo. I don't know that any man wanted anything to do with implants.

Kat Timpf after a mastectomy seems to be opting for bigger boobs than before, which is a character mistake. She fits best as under-endowed and endearing because of it.; 9/27/25, 1:21 PM

Quaestor said...: According to IMDB, Alyssa Milano was married to Cinjun Tate (a musician who thought St. John Tate was a cool stage name but couldn't spell it) for all of 10 months and 20 days. That should tell you everything you need to know about that absurd self-pitying breast implant story. Either she was too stupid at age 27 to regulate her own life, or her histrionics were too obnoxious for Tate to endure after only 323 days. (I don't know who filed for divorce, but I'm thinking the latter.); 9/27/25, 2:57 PM
Enigma said...: Social media...character...Clara Dao was famously flat, as in FLAT FLAT FLAT chested. Then she got implants and broke the brains of the body positivity crowd. Social media 'influencers' are all about the eyeball and likes. There is nothing upstairs, they just want attention and to keep the attention coming.

john mosby said...: Bagoh20: "I always found smaller breast sexy. Does that mean I'm a little gay?"

A lot of gays are fascinated by giant boobs. I think because, even if they don't get a sexual frisson out of them, there's still the otherness and the whole Freudian denial-of-the-breast thing. Maybe the otherness is even enhanced by the lack of sexual interest. And finally there's drag, where you get to put on your own boobs, as big as you like.

Andy Cohen, for example, is a purebred gay and is totally fascinated by giant tits. Then there was the case of Isaac Mizrahi grabbing Scarlet Johanssen's boob on a red carpet somewhere. CC, JSM; 9/27/25, 7:01 PM

After this:

Me thinks attention getting is a prime motivation. Yes she was (may still be) a beautiful woman. But SHE used that for her climb to fame. Now that that particular tool is rusty she casts it aside and claims she was forced to ever use that nasty old thing. That MIGHT have been a bit convincing if she'd have done this in her 20's.; 9/29/25, 10:32 AM
