I need to look her up because I know nothing about this case, but I'm assuming she just lied the whole time? Or did she really think she could pull that machinery off?

Amanda is so beautiful but her forehead is very lined for someone her age.

[calandrinon]

Nah, she lied. She had people telling her there's no way it would work b/c science but she was too into her Steve Jobs cosplay.

[sibylblack]

Yeah cause she's going to read my comment...

[skekzok]

yeah because that's the point

it's a repulsive comment regardless

[sibylblack]

ok you're right

[sodenoshirayuki]

in case it makes you rethink this assumption, you really do never know if she'll see it as ONTD has had this effect before even after our heyday: https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/111373655.html

Both. She thought she could pull it off with lies despite science and people's lives being involved.

[delleve]

She outright lied - she had teams of engineers and scientists who told her there's no way from jump and all throughout.

Also wut at this forehead comment. I'm only seeing any major lines when she raises her eyebrows or furrows her brow, which is... normal. Whew Botox has twisted us.

[sibylblack]

You can't really see much in this trailer cause of make up, but if you see pictures of her she has lines even when she's not frowning. I've always noticed it because she's so young

[chocobeans]

Maybe the lines are genetic? Let's hope she doesn't feel pressure to inject herself to minimize it but losing her ability to emote.

OMGGGG-you should definitely do a deep dive if you know nothing about the case! There are tons of great podcasts and documentaries, but I highly recommend the official "Bad Blood" book by the reporter that uncovered her scam.

And she is just that-a Grade A SCAMMER. She knew her machine didn't work, used other companies blood machines for testing/lied to investors, patients, etc. about it lol.

+1 for the Bad Blood book rec!

Please don't. That's the kind of feedback that inspires deforming Botox and filler injections that weren't necessary in the first place. Forehead lines are linked to the eyebrows to show basic facial expression, important for acting

[rubie_dubidoux]

yeah lol I'm like 8 years younger than her and I have wayyyy deeper forehead lines naturally just because of how I hold my eyebrows. I Botox them out because I'm getting to an age where it REALLY ages me but it's a big tradeoff :/ if I were an actor I'd have to just live with them

Amanda is a pale blonde, so her skin is going to be slightly thinner naturally and contains less melanin. Saying that Amanda’s forehead is very lined for her age does seem like an exaggeration though, I think she’s in her mid 30’s, and she looks great to me. I think it’s pretty cool actually that she hasn’t gone down the botox route, it’s nice to see a woman not being afraid on camera to actually wrinkle her forehead and make expressions
