Ashley Judd has had it with speculation about her “puffy” face, said RadarOnline.com. The actress, 44, lashed out this week against plastic surgery rumors, which began when her face appeared swollen while she was promoting a new television show last month. In an angry article in TheDailyBeast.com, Judd called the rumors “pointedly nasty, gendered, and misogynistic,” and said her appearance was due to a combination of medications taken for a sinus infection and “a lazy six months of not exercising.”
