New York, NY – Jocelyn Wildenstein, famously known as “Catwoman” for her multiple plastic surgeries, recently shared a rare throwback photo on social media in honor of her daughter Diane’s birthday. The 82-year-old Swiss socialite posted a picture of herself with Diane as a baby, showcasing a more natural and casual look compared to her current appearance. In the image, Wildenstein sported a blond wavy bob hairstyle while sitting with Diane on a couch.
The nickname “Catwoman” was given to Jocelyn due to her extensive history of cosmetic procedures that transformed her appearance to resemble a feline. Rising to fame in the 1990s during a high-profile divorce from art dealer Alec Wildenstein, Jocelyn received a substantial $2.5 billion settlement to be paid out annually.
Despite her once lavish lifestyle, Jocelyn expressed financial struggles after Alec’s family stopped her $100 million yearly settlement payment following his passing. In an effort to generate income, she embarked on filming a documentary about her life. The decision to share her story through a documentary was driven by a desire to address public criticism surrounding her life choices and cosmetic surgeries.
Jocelyn’s longtime fiancé, Lloyd Klein, emphasized that the documentary serves as her way of sharing her narrative in her own words, amidst the negative feedback she has received. The project aims to shed light on Jocelyn’s experiences and decisions, offering viewers a glimpse into her unique journey.
From enduring a tumultuous marriage and high-profile divorce to navigating financial hardships and public scrutiny, Jocelyn’s story reflects a complex narrative of resilience and self-discovery. Through her documentary, she hopes to challenge misconceptions and provide a deeper understanding of the woman behind the infamous moniker “Catwoman.”
