The 'cat-faced' woman who scares everyone, revealing her elegant past?

Recently, a Swiss woman - Jocelyn Wildenstein, who became famous after undergoing surgery to look like a cat, suddenly shared a photo of her graceful past, leaving netizens in awe.

Jocelyn claims she had her face done to please her ex-husband because he liked cats, but he later had affairs with other women. Accordingly, Jocelyn Wildenstein, known by the nickname 'cat face', rarely shares photos of her youth with her beautiful natural face.

On Instagram, with 1.1 million followers, the 82-year-old woman posted a photo of herself and her young daughter to wish her a happy birthday. In the photo, she exudes elegance and charm with her flowing blonde hair and light, elegant makeup.

Her younger photos have been said to look completely different from her current appearance. For years, Jocelyn Wildenstein has been addicted to plastic surgery, which has disfigured her appearance. Most recently, when she was photographed on vacation in Miami with her fiancé, fashion designer Lloyd Klein, last week, her face looked strained.

Jocelyn Wildenstein, who now lives in New York, was married to art dealer and billionaire Alec Wildenstein, but they divorced in 1999.

Billionaire Alec has consistently denied forcing his wife to undergo surgery and claimed that he tried to stop her but she did not listen. The court later ruled that Alec would give his wife $2.5 billion and provide her with $100 million a year for the next 13 years on the condition that Jocelyn would not use the money for cosmetic surgery, according to Dailymail.

In 2018, Jocelyn Wildenstein shocked the world when she declared bankruptcy. She said she was penniless after her alimony payments were cut off in 2015. In a court filing, Jocelyn explained that she still owned more than $16 million worth of real estate but owed more than $6 million that she could not pay immediately. Once a billionaire living the high life, Jocelyn had no savings, no pension, and no job.

While many people cannot understand where Jocelyn spent all her huge amount of money, some sources say that Jocelyn is a good person but too gullible. "She has been taken advantage of by many people," the source shared.

Jocelyn Wildenstein is currently working on a documentary about her life, her fiancé recently revealed. The HBO project is expected to make Jocelyn a fortune. She is also planning a reality TV show produced by the team behind the hit Keeping Up With the Kardashians. "Jocelyn wants to tell her story in her own voice," said designer Lloyd Klein.

Jocelyn Wildenstein's real name is Jocelynnys Dayannys da Silva Bezerra Périsset, born in 1940, in Lausanne, Switzerland into a middle-class family.

Before the age of 17, Jocelyn's life was virtually unknown. It was not until she started dating the famous Swiss film producer, Cyril Piguet, that her life took a completely new turn. Jocelyn once confided to New York magazine after 2 years of moving to Paris to live with her lover: "My life has changed. Lausanne was very boring, but when I came here, I met more interesting and wonderful people."

The billionaire also shared that she never intended to pursue a career because she thought she had a "different talent". She said: "I have never worried about my career. I am very good at decoration, maybe I will be extremely good at this field".

Jocelyn then dated filmmaker Sergio Gobby for about five years and spent much of that time exploring Africa, which she loved. "Africa is a paradise. You meet people who have a completely different outlook on life. They love adventure," she said.

Entering high society gave Jocelyn the opportunity to meet and get to know many wealthy, famous and high-status people from all over the world. Thanks to her love of hunting, Jocelyn met the Saudi arms dealer - Adnan Khashoggi.
