The former talk show host claimed she witnessed Trump's financial ups and downs firsthand.

O'Donnel's Facelift Transformation
The actress revealed she recently underwent a deep-plane facelift after losing over 50 pounds.
Away from politics, O'Donnell also made headlines on the Tony Awards red carpet by opening up about her recent deep-plane facelift. The actress told E! News she underwent the procedure after losing more than 50 pounds while taking Mounjaro to manage diabetes.
"I'm on Mounjaro over the last three years, I have diabetes too, and I lost over 50 pounds, and that was responsible for a lot of the extra skin that I had around my face," she explained.
O'Donnell said she decided to publicly discuss the surgery because she wanted to avoid a future "gotcha" moment and believed honesty was the best approach.
"Authenticity is the goal in these days and times, and people are lying all day, every day to the American public," she said. "It's very unsettling to me."
She added: "My little autistic 13-year-old said to me, 'If you do it, I would not be able to respect you ever again.' And that put me off it for a few months, but then when I went and did it in January, I came home 10 days later, and they never noticed."
