“Ur a public figure trying to help women loose weight yet your getting a face lift to remind those of us who need one who can’t afford one how ugly we are Thanku,” wrote the commenter.
Mellencamp responded, “I am being transparent with my journey. Would you prefer I lie and pretend the loose skin on my neck disappeared? That’s not who I am. You want to only follow people that show themselves through a filtered version of themselves then I am not the person to follow.”

She concluded by offering a question to her social media followers. “Do you appreciate me being open about my journey or would you rather I just pretend I did nothing?” she wrote.
