During a Thursday, November 12, appearance on Chelsea Handler‘sDear Chelsea podcast, the All’s Fair star opened up about what she has — or, rather, hasn’t — done to her face, amid rampant online speculation she’s been under the knife.
The subject came up as the comedian noted she was on a different side of the frame for the interview than usual, with Paulson adding, “I have a better side of my face.”
After Handler asked whether she asks to be shot from her “good side” while working, the American Horror Story alum said she requests it “as much as possible.” She noted, however, that for less glamorous projects — like playing Aileen Wuornos on Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story — they shoot her “from all different sides.”
She then revealed what’s “wrong with the other side” of her face, telling Handler, “Well, Chelsea. It’s just less sharp. It’s just a little softer.”

“I don’t put anything in my face. I have no goo in there. I don’t do anything to my face,” Paulson then insisted. “Everyone thinks I have. People all over the internet think I’ve done my lips, my forehead, everything. I’ve done nothing to my face.”
The former Chelsea Lately host said she could tell her guest hadn’t had any work done, adding that she didn’t “mean that in a negative way.” That made the Emmy Award winner quip, “I can tell you’ve done nothing because you look like an old bag.”
Handler, however, insisted she meant that she still looked like herself, adding, “You don’t look like you need anything.”
Despite the compliments, Ryan Murphy‘s frequent collaborator admitted, “I look at facelifts on the internet every day.”
