Dolly Parton criticized for looking “cheap” and “ugly” – but she’s hit back

Dol­ly Par­ton has lived a long and mega-suc­cess­ful life in the spot­light.

The icon­ic singer’s tal­ents have tran­scend­ed decades and styles; she’s been a fix­ture at the top of the enter­tain­ment indus­try since almost any of us can remem­ber.

Even some­one as famous as she is has to deal with her crit­ics. Recent­ly, some peo­ple have been say­ing neg­a­tive things about her appear­ance, even though she’s almost eighty years old.

Dol­ly Par­ton, who is 77, is well-known in coun­try music and among celebri­ties.

The singer from Ten­nessee has tru­ly become a leg­end. Even after per­form­ing and singing for most of her life, she still enjoys enter­tain­ing her many fans.

Dol­ly Par­ton, with Pollystar, explained that she would not be tour­ing any­more. She explained:

I’ll have some spe­cial per­for­mances every now and then. I might do a long week­end of shows or a few at a fes­ti­val, but I’m not plan­ning to go on a big tour any­more.

Dol­ly Par­ton, who rose to the peak of the enter­tain­ment world after her tough child­hood in the Appalachi­an Moun­tains, will def­i­nite­ly be missed on stage.

Even though a lot of peo­ple love her, some still have neg­a­tive things to say about her appear­ance.

Her looks have been a top­ic of dis­cus­sion since she began her career. Dol­ly has shared that ear­ly on, some folks sug­gest­ed she should change her famous style if she want­ed to be tak­en seri­ous­ly in her career.

She said, “Most of the advice I got was to sim­pli­fy my hair and clothes.”

“Not to look so cheap, nobody was ever going to take me seri­ous­ly, they would say.”

Over time, the mean com­ments about Dol­ly haven’t dis­ap­peared. In fact, some peo­ple seem even more con­vinced that it’s okay to call her names that are real­ly unfair.

One per­son on Twit­ter said, “Dol­ly Par­ton is one ugly lady,” while anoth­er com­ment­ed, “Dol­ly Par­ton is so ugly, but she has nice breasts.”

Despite all the harsh words and neg­a­tiv­i­ty from peo­ple online, Dol­ly stays pos­i­tive and strong. She feels great about her body and appear­ance and isn’t going to change for any­one.

“It costs a lot of mon­ey to look this cheap,” she once famous­ly said.

The coun­try star has shared before that her hus­band loves her just the way she is.

“He doesn’t mind if I gain weight,” Par­ton said.

“He’s crazy enough to believe I’m the most beau­ti­ful and sex­i­est woman out there.”

Per­haps unsur­pris­ing­ly, Dol­ly remains hun­gry for suc­cess and fresh chal­lenges. As per Rolling Stone, she’s ready to now embrace her 2022 entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and wants to hon­or it by way of deliv­er­ing an album that some might con­sid­er to be out­side of her wheel­house.

Fans were delight­ed last year when it became appar­ent that Dol­ly Par­ton was in con­sid­er­a­tion for a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after her stel­lar career.

Yet, if sources are to be believed, the super­star her­self was ini­tial­ly reluc­tant to be in the con­ver­sa­tion for the hon­or. The Jolene singer was said to be of the opin­ion that since her career con­sists most­ly of coun­try music, oth­ers were per­haps more suit­ed to find­ing their way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In the end, the peo­ple made their voic­es heard, and the vot­ers agreed that Dol­ly tru­ly deserved to be there. In Novem­ber, she was wel­comed into the Hall of Fame, and right away, she start­ed work­ing hard to prove that her selec­tion was the right choice.
