Overview

  • A Getty Images photo of Pippen with pronounced facial swelling went viral after her appearance on Fox 5, triggering widespread social media scrutiny.
  • Pippen maintains that the puffiness stems from an allergic reaction to a recent platelet-rich plasma facial and suggests the circulated image may have been digitally enhanced.
  • Reality Blurb confirmed the viral shot was obtained directly from Getty Images and has not been altered, countering claims of unauthorized editing.
  • Cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Jen Armstrong publicly dismissed PRP allergy as impossible and said Pippen’s features align with overfilled hyaluronic acid injections and possible Botox.
  • Dr. Mai Kaga questioned the plausibility of a PRP allergy, warning that excessive hyaluronic acid injections can create unnaturally pronounced facial features ahead of Pippen’s RHOM reunion.
