Hollywood star Justine Bateman has a message for younger generations of women who “fear” aging and said “it’s an effing lie” when people tell you there’s something wrong with their face.

During the 57-year-old writer/director’s appearance on Monday on the “Today” show, the star slammed social media for telling women young and older that they need plastic surgery.

“In society, where do we even get the idea that women’s faces are broken and have to be fixed?” Bateman said. “It’s psychotic. The idea is psychotic. And I think the suggested solutions are barbaric.”

The “Family Ties” star said that she thinks the reason women get plastic surgery is because of a deeper fear and suggested they first deal with the fear before doing something to their looks.

“For someone it might be they’re afraid they’re never going to get a mate,” Bateman explained. “Or they’re afraid their mate will leave them. Or they’re afraid that they won’t get a job.”

“Or they’ll lose the job they’ve got or people aren’t going to listen to them anymore, something like that,”  she added.

The conversation then turned to young women who are on social media and Bateman said “It’s an effing lie. It’s a lie that there’s something wrong with your face.”

“There’s nothing wrong with your face,” she added. “Don’t let it distract you from all the things that are coming your way.”

She then suggested young women shouldn’t be on social media “so much” and said simply that what you see on there “it’s not real.” 

“Social media isn’t real. I’m not on social media,”  Bateman said as she explained people should instead live in the real world, travel, learn a language, enjoy being young with little to no responsibilities instead of worrying about one’s looks.

Bateman —who’s worked in Hollywood for more than 30 years — said she’s not going under the knife to stay looking younger and likes the way she looks.

“I just don’t give a s***,” the actress previously said.  “I think I look rad. I think my face represents who I am. I like it.”

“Sure, you can do all of that, and then I feel like I would erase not only all my authority that I have now, but also I like feeling that I am a different person now than I was when I was 20,” Bateman said of her own experience with aging naturally.

Tennessee Republicans have moved to expel three Democratic state representatives from the House who joined protesters during their storming of the state capitol building last week, leading chants with a bullhorn and disrupting the floor session.

Expulsion resolutions have been filed against Rep. Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville), Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville), and Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) over their actions last Thursday after about 400 people rushed into the Tennessee state capitol building in Nashville. A final vote on whether to remove the Democrats will take place on Thursday.

House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) kicked the three Democrats off of their committees and told The Daily Wire in a phone interview Tuesday that more accountability would be coming. “Here in Tennessee on Thursday, we’re going hold these three individuals accountable,” he said.

“Their actions deserved to be disciplined, and what they did was a breach of House rules, they need to be held accountable,” he said. “What they did on the House floor I have not seen happen in Tennessee or heard about.”

During a raucous protest against gun rights on Thursday, the three Democratic lawmakers went unrecognized to the “well,” where lawmakers speak on the House floor, and took out a bull horn and started leading the protesters in chants.

Republican House Leader William Lamberth (R-Portland) told The Daily Wire that the disruption was unprecedented. “It’s never been that three state representatives attempted to incite a riot in the middle of the House floor. It’s dangerous, it’s inappropriate, and it silences the other 96 members,” he said.

Sexton said that the lawmakers wanted to be arrested and wanted the attention for themselves, adding that the disruption was “planned.”

The Daily Wire reached out to Jones, Pearson, and Johnson for comment.

The resolution against Jones, filed by Rep. Andrew Farmer (R-Sevierville), says that he and the two other Democrats “knowingly and intentionally bring disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives through their individual and collective actions.”

Similar resolutions were filed against Johnson and Pearson by Rep. Gino Bulso (R-Brentwood) and Rep. Bud Hulsey (R-Kingsport) respectively.

“The basis for the resolutions is that they actually disrupted proceedings in the House,” Bulso told The Daily Wire, explaining that they broke House rules. Bulso said that Republicans would have the votes to expel the Democrat lawmakers.

“They were both inside and outside the chamber, agitating all those who showed up,” Bulso said. “These three made a decision that they were going to go ahead and focus all the attention on themselves. They were agitating and inciting the crowds outside the chamber.”

Tensions at the capitol have been high as Tennessee reels from the murder of six people at a Christian school in Nashville last week by a woman who identified as transgender. In response, Gov. Bill Lee has proposed providing funding for schools in Tennessee to have armed guards and reiterated support for a bill that would increase security measures at schools across the state.

Lamberth is confident that the school security reforms will be passed. “I want the notice to go forth, loud and clear, that any evil person that is bent on trying to harm our children in Tennessee, if you come at one of our schools here, we are going to have enough security around our schools that that evil person will be dead before they hit the front door,” he told The Daily Wire.
