Estee Lauder, and other prestigious brands would really benefit from having this classic beautiful woman. Tired of looking 18 year old representing anti-aging creams, it just doesn’t make any sense, and the consumers are not dumb.
@Sofia I agree with you! That company only uses Asian woman or anyone under age. In fact, they had a 15 y.o. advertising fragrance. That's horrendous. I consider it false advertising to use such young ladies with beautiful faces and lovely smooth skin by nature. Not having endured the stressors of life or age. They should use Paulina now!
I agree. She has timeless dedication to her craft and she should be a role model for women and possibly gender-fluid people and men in that we don't age gracefully and life is not a continuous jolly stroll through the park blossoming at its peak. Our faces just cannot be the same as it was when we are in our twenties and twenty year olds shouldn't have to worry about their appearance now, although it does help to start being mindful of one's inner and outer beauty however one sees beauty. Creme for fine lines and age spots? For people who have just started their adult life? Um how about no. I love my smile lines and crinkles between my brows.
Anyone, no matter what age, who thinks she's not aging well is an absolute idiot. Even as a young woman, I would have described this woman as "beautiful".
I grew up hating myself for not looking like Paulina. One day, as a 45 year old former dancer and beginner aerialist, I walked into a class and she was a student! All my insecurities returned. And yet, she was the most genuine, gracious, beautiful woman inside and out! Not a shred of entitlement. Just a pleasure to be around. And very hard working and helpful and supportive of all the students. I was blown away by her kindness. She’s the real deal and it’s impossible not to love her when you meet her.
I always hear the most beautiful heart warming stories, heart breaking or interesting tid bits about celebrities or a place in time from the regular people in the comments. I learned more about what really went on in current wars for one example or foreign politics from the people that lived there on the ground. I mean all the time. It’s awesome. Oh I’m a 54 yo woman so I know about self esteem when it comes to beauty. Life just goes by too fast.
They were neighbors. Delightful person. Large heart with a kind word for everyone, but you always caught a self-deprecating tone. I was very jealous of Ric. Sad to hear how she has been treated since his death. I hope her boys take good care of her.
@C L That is the exact impression I got of her from not only this interview but a few others I’ve seen now. I also just saw a sort of podcast she did about false eyelashes, and I swear she sounds like someone I could’ve grown up with, so down to earth, and yes self deprecating humor, and she is so completely honest, and sweet. I am 6 years younger than her and I hope I age as naturally & beautifully as she is! She truly seems as amazing on the inside as she looks on the outside, and I believe her humble beginnings in life were an asset to her genuine character. God Bless her 🙏🏼❤️ what a terrible thing to go through after loving someone so completely for well over 30+ years.
@@TracyD2 so true I am this age as well and a former part time model yrs ago... it’s a brutal society we are in.... elders are looked upon as either complete saints or trash there seems no middle ground...
Not a fan of news media but liked this guy that interview. A good interview asks questions and then stops to listen. He got her to talk. He didn't do all the talking.
She truly is beautiful inside & out!! I am DISGUSTED at some of the Horrible comments I am reading from people here! And, from mainly women no less! Some people are just so ugly on the inside, and ya can't fix that!
I like how she represents the 50+ crowd who don't want to pretend that they look 25 by filling themselves with botox. There's nothing wrong with it if that's your choice, but it's nice to see a naturally gorgeous woman age naturally and promote it too! Hope I'm as graceful as she is at 50+!
It's infuriating that we don't see more women her age. She's beautiful, she's fantastic, her personality is so likeable... I'd prefer to see a giant billboard of her face as she is now than a twenty-something modeling foundation. As a 39 year old I want to know that make up can enhance me. I don't necessarily feel assured by make up claims on a baby face. But also, can we just stop discounting a woman's worth after she's past 40?? Heaven's sake...!
She’s aging just fine. This is actually what a beautiful and natural 55 year older looks like without any plastic surgery or fillers. We’re just not use to seeing this anymore.
He was 21 yrs her senior. She'd been abandoned by her father. Imagine how it feels to be abandoned again, by the man she devoted 30 yrs to, who was very much a father-figure to her. Even when you're the most beautiful woman in the world, deep inside, it's heartbreaking. Her sadness is palpable.
Goes to show you. Never- ever reveal your weakness or fears. Even to those who profess to love you. There will come a day when they can/will use it to hurt/destroy you - for whatever reason :(
Paulina was the most beautiful models ever and still is so stunningly beautiful. She is the perfect example of beauty and sadness. I hope she recovers from her heartache. It’s terribly sad to be betrayed like that.
I always wonder why this beautiful young, woman who was excited about life would fall for Ocasek . Now I understand how her parents leaving her affected her decisions.
@@candythompson9863 she managed to keep him around or did he manage to keep her around due to her lack of self esteem and longing for some sense of family?
I know, I am so shocked by how straight she talks... I mean: "it was conforting to be possessed", "the moment you'll find out I am not that great, you'll leave me too"
@Rene Lynch Divorce Laws vary from state to state in regards to how the marital estate is divided and the impact left by a decedent spouse's will. I wonder who he willed his money to. Paulina can always contest his will and get more of what she was cut out of. I think the problem was Paulina was an Eastern European woman with traditional values whereas her husband was raised here in America the land of the me generation.
@jameshisself I did look him up... thank you. Says she introduced him as her new boyfriend after a year separation. According to this interview...the separation was not her idea. Guess we will never know.. but kinda harsh after 30 yr marriage and can't imagine it's even legal. BTW I don't agree w/ A R either... there are always two sides to every story...then the truth.
This is real natural beauty!! No fake lips, squinty eyes and pulled back face. These celebrities that are just in 30s&40s who do all this stuff to their face, look older than if they just let themselves age naturally. Her outside matched her inside too.
Ur sweet. I always get a sweet vibe off Paulina and she's never seemed to see how gorgeous she was ( and still is ). I have always love how humble and self deprecating she is. Good people see good in others and kind hearts see other kind hearts and the rest can shove it up their cranky krank. Bless you darling!
@@Noella65 Well, she has a very thin and pale skin.... it is really really hard to keep it flawless or let's say tou have to take care of the phototype 1 skin 4 or 5 times more than a black phototype 4/5 skin...

I don't get why some people here are saying that she has not aged well?? I think she looks very good for her age (and much more importantly, she seems like a decent and nice person)!
I'm in awe of her raw honesty. No one ever comes right out and says what she said about how being left behind by her parents affected her for the rest of her life. What a shame. She didn't deserve that. And she didn't deserve what Ric Ocasek did to her. What a louse.
She is entitled to his estate or half of it. They were married for 37 years. She put her own successful money into the family coffers and was with him as he succeeded. Not like she was a young bunny married for a year or two demanding his wealth. She earned it.
@@bizznick444joe7 We know he left two of his biological kids out of his will too and that he took A|| her money and put it into business deals ... he controlled ALL the money during the marriage and she never even got her money back.. we know enough he conned her..
She is still gorgeous and I'd much rather see pics of women natural like her than what we are forced to see, fake women that normal women will never look like.
Ric should've thanked his lucky stars every day that a guy who looked like him could've found someone so beautiful, intelligent AND genuine to love him. She was and is the full package.
well said. i wonder why he did such a rotten thing to her. makes you wonder what part of the story we arent getting, but she seems so genuine and decent.
She was with him 30 years. I don’t care what their problems were. Relationships are complicated. She deserves to be awarded her share from her contribution to their financial success.
Let this be a lesson to women, have your own money and save it. Never build up a man. Choose a man who loves you slightly more than you love him. Women will ALWAYS give plenty to a relationship, we give and give and what do we get back in the end? Be smart.
@@KD-qx2nf this is horrible advice. You shouldn't get married if you are not willing to open yourself to what ever might happen. When you can be open, you are strong enough to get into a relationship.
You clearly do not understand the sanctity of marriage and for better of for worse. She abandoned Rick when he needed her most. She enjoyed the fruits of his labor for 30 years and is owed nothing.
this is so touching and sad. she's not only stunning but also very eloquent and emotionally intelligent. even though their marriage worked out for a long time, I can't help but be sad that a 19 year old was preyed upon by a 40 year old man. even if she didn't consider the age difference a problem, grown or even middle-aged men going for teenagers is always a major red flag. at 19, however intelligent you may be, you're just too inexperienced to understand that. and while the fact that he cut her out of his will has nothing to do with the age difference, it's even more devastating since she devoted her whole youth, life (up to this point), and money to him. all that doesn't cast a great light on him as a person even though I'm sure she wouldn't want that to be the takeaway of the interview.
Yes, as she said, she had no self esteem, how can you really be knowledgeable at 19? When I was that young, I wanted no 40 year old near me, didn't care who they were it was just un-natural shall we say;' so at least I had that sense why go with someone or even would I be attracted to someone so much older anyway, a bit creepy.
She settled & made out fine. Ocasek wasn’t worth a whole lot when he died compared to what we might think. It’s common for divorce lawyers to tell their clients to change their wills as soon as divorce proceedings begin, which she did. She had already found another man. States provide an elective share if at least 1/3 so it’s not shocking that Ocasek followed his lawyer’s advice. Honestly, with most surprising to me is that he disinherited 2 of his adult children from a previous marriage.
@@r.williamcomm7693 I think you mean, he changed 'his' will when she started to divorce him. He doesn't sound like the nicest of people at all. Clearly she gave him so many years of effort and finally did what she had to do. He had claimed abandonment, but that was not it.
@@janebraun4482 I understand what you mean but seriously, I’m not taking a side. It’s just standard that lawyers tell clients to change their wills when they separate. I stated what Icasek claimed to be his reasons for dis inheritance because most wills that disinherit say something but that doesn’t make it true. They could both be wonderful ppl or one or the other could be bad. She still had rights to a portion of his estate PLUS she also had her share of the marital estate. She wasn’t locked out penniless & I’m glad for that because that would indeed be wrong. She got a substantial settlement from his estate as she was entitled. Ppl didn’t seem to realize that they were watching a news story that was a few years old & that in 2021 she & the estate reached a settlement. Ocasek was never known as a bad man prior to this & he wasn’t expecting to die anytime soon when he signed the will. But there’s also been tragic cases where spouses didn’t change wills after divorces. Paulina Poriskova seems like a wonderful person & she doesn’t need to justify to anyone why the marriage ended. Likewise, imagine a spouse being in another relationship while going through a divorce & then inheriting because the will wasn’t changed when both parties expected the divorce court to divide the marital property & that each would be changing their wills to provide for their children or others. Ocasek was planning on being alive well after the divorce was over & had he lived a few months longer that probably would’ve been the case. So there’s no bad party here. Honestly I’d be very surprised if Paulina’s lawyer didn’t advise her to change her will to.
@@janebraun4482 Yes Ocasek claimed in his new will that she abandoned him. That doesn’t make it true. In some states when disinheriting a spouse in a will the testator must acknowledge the spouse as part of a showing that he or she understood & had considered the gravity of doing such. Some lawyers include it as a matter of practice even if it’s not required to increase the odds of the will being upheld in court if it’s challenged. The case law goes way back in time & the statutory law often reflects that. Some ppl don’t realize that the estate settled with Poriskova, as it should. She most likely got half of the marital property which is how divorce courts typically divide it. New York law forbids residents from completely disinheriting a surviving spouse. If a person is legally married at the time of his or her death, the spouse will automatically inherit a percentage of the estate’s assets-even if the spouse has been intentionally excluded from the deceased person's will or trust.
She gave all her beauty and youth to someone who at the end of his life was ungrateful and bitter ... towards her and his children from his 1st marriage .... Get those WINGS ! ... and try to be HAPPY ... all the best Paulina, you are very beautiful!
@@rap4369 Then she is a damn good actress... nevertheless, the leaf never shakes without wind... but because I am a woman, too, I'd say her old husband could not stand his ex wife doing the same he did 35 years ago - getting a 20 years younger partner ;) What's that called in English... a male chauvinist? :X
Sagisli Are you insane? Kidding, or just young and naive? She’s only 54, but looks 65. She has wrinkles beyond her numerical age and leathery skin signifying Way too much sun exposure. Maybe it’s just the hard knocks she’s had, grief and sun damage, but she’s not aging gracefully. That’s very kind of you to say though.
She is aging beautifully and gracefully. No botox, no plastic surgery, she is so gorgeous. Edit: I'm also not against Botox, fillers, plastic surgeries. It's their life, their choice, their rights. Whatever makes them happy. It's just that some elderly women look so beautiful/graceful/charming naturally, with their wrinkles, rather than women who have done multiple surgeries and fillers, who has no wrinkles at all. But they look different kind of old. They don't have wrinkles at all but still they look much more older, weird, no charm, robot like face. I think people start over doing it. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. Like I said I'm not against it. It's just not my preference and likings at the moment.
Agreed. I’m not against injectables, but it just seems after several years of use, especially w/fillers, everyone’s face becomes distorted and they no longer look like themselves which is unfortunate.
I've never said this before because it is a cliché, but she is incredible in her inner beauty, it truly just shines from her, even in her hurt that goodness is there. My Mum is 91 and it still hurts that she was raised by her grandma until 7, she still mentions not being wanted.
@@Jason-gt6ko nowhere in my statement did I say that she's had the hardest life in the world. but clearly she's had heartache. Pain is pain and not everyone would be willing to be open about it so publicly.
Maybe because she dumped him when he was ill and dying and she had other men? www.showbiz411.com/2019/11/08/exclusive-ric-ocasek-was-diagnosed-with-cancer-just-before-his-death-resented-estranged-wife-paulina-porizkovas-boyfriend-ed-solomon It's Ric that died of a broken heart. So sad that people will only believe the pretty lady.
yup! That is probably what he convinced her of. My gosh, I can't believe he left her nothing. They were not formally divorced yet, I could see if that had been finalized already but not before. I'd be curious when he noted this in his trust/will, like was it years ago or just recently. That would be awful if he had this listed in his will/trust like a decade ago when she was under the impression he was still happy w/ their marriage.
@@CS-ow4gl She separated from him in 2017. She left him when he was ill and his health was declining and lovey dovey with new men. She was divorcing him after all that time...most persons - male or female - would remove their future ex from their will at that time.
@@thewarmthofthesun1 absolutely the complex ptsd from the abandonment was perfectly explained by the large ego with no self-esteem comment. I totally relate.
Man or woman---NEVER entrust all your money to a person. ALWAYS do your own investing or saving in your own name. She was, and continues to be, a stunning beauty.
@Arby Cook she says in other articles that he had checked out of the marriage years before so she finally gave up. So maybe she initiated the separation on paper but he was already out.
She seems like a nice person and a sincere person. Of course, I say that as someone who doesn't know her personally. She just gives off a likeable and down to Earth vibe.
I feel sorry for her because she's in her 50s and she still hasn't learned what toxic love is. To be still visibly upset and in love with a man who clearly just used her for her beauty and youth. She is so beautiful even now. She clearly doesn;t know her worth.
since they were still married, it’s seems that she’s still entitled...considering there would have been alimony if he lived. He can’t just leave her out of the will and that’s it. They were married.
En Joy Uh that’s a dumb comment. Wills don’t affect JOINT accounts that’s why they’re called JOINT ACCOUNTS. Any owner can access as much as they want at any time.
Antrelise Gantt Yes he can. All through history men have left their wives out of their wills. She can contest it but it sounds like her two sons are part of the four children (out of six) that received something so she may not. Then again, her making it public suggests she will.
The husband of my friend's siter-in-law ended their 25 years marriage because he wanted to have eye candy like his 50+ friends and she was not pretty enough. He was not even cheating but wanted to be free to be a tom cat. They divorced and he went on to leave like a twenty something. His oldest son, then 14, heard his own father dismiss his mom like she was an old shoe. The end result? He was robbed twice by the 20 somethings eye candy he was involved (by thousands of dolars). When he had cancer his ex-wife was the one caring for him for the sake of their boys... who never spoke to him again after the misery he brought to their mom... not even in deathbed.
Sounds like he changed. Sometimes this happens one person rejects the other even when the other still has love and they are the same person. Quite common.
"I have to learn how to use my wings now." And that genuine facial expression at the end... I re-watched it several times. She seems to be a wonderful person. Her physical beauty, which she credited to parents or god already while very young, is probably nothing compared to how beautiful she is "inside".
+DroidXPhone No she didn't cheat on him. They've been separated since 2017. Dating Solomon in 2019. If he didn't want to see her move on why didn't he get a divorce? Why cut your children out when you have that kind of money??? He is the one who got married three times, did his original children even ever see him?
TofuCutie she never che@ted, stop lying on this woman. He’s the one who refused to sign the divorce papers, are women supposed to just stick around with che@ters
I think it's more probable that he began to distance himself. He possibly could have known he was sick. Some men can't handle it and want to be alone when they're ill.
I feel for her. I was married to a man for 27 years and he completely cut me off when we divorced. No contact, none of my belongings... I can relate. I feel for her.
You might want to look in the mirror when looking for reasons why your husband of 27 years decided to divorce you. Women initiate 75% of divorces (often because of their 'feelings'). Men, on the other hand, tend to stick it out..because men are practical. A man doesnt stay with a woman for 27 years..and 'all of a sudden' wake up one day and decide he wants a divorce. More than likely, he reached a point where he simply couldnt stand being around you anymore. Think about all the things that you used to do for him early in your marriage...and what things you just quit doing for him. Did you let yourself go physically? Did you quit having sex with him (or the type of sex with him that he craved)? Did you make him feel special? Did you nag/complain to him about trivial stuff? If your physical looks is what primarily attracted a man into marriage...then you better do whatever it takes to stay in shape/take care of your body (even after having kids). After all, if the financial ability of a man is something that attracted you to him...he BETTER be able to maintain that financial ability (which is perfectly reasonable). I dont feel sorry for women in their 50's who complain about being 'ignored' by men/society....when they themselves (when they were much younger/hotter) IGNORED most men/most of those in society. Aint payback a M0F0?
Paulina brought him his morning coffee and found him dead. I guess she still acted as his wife/caregiver, even he claimed abandonment. Nobody knows what's going on in one's marriage but you don't write a woman you spent 30 years with, the mother of your 2 kids out of your will. Especially if she put all of her multimillion $ earnings into the family pot. That's just extremely mean.
So, by definition he can't give away community property - wealth created when they were married. That must be split evenly - and they were still married. He decided not to give her the money he had prior to their marriage.
Unfortunately He was, most likely, having a "moment" when composing that will....She should have Contested the Will. Sure he was not of sound mind, at the point of signing that will..
@@taotzu1339 It's the point of it -- not the money. Think about how devestating that would be to a person who invested their life into and with someone and then in the end, a huge smack in the face. It's almost like saying you meant NOTHING to me. Horrible.
Too bad it's only her side. I'm puzzled that she doesn't mention that they were separated, for quite a while, and she had boyfriends. Ric probably thought the divorce was about to go through and, being in ill health, he changed his will. Why would he leave anything to his ex-wife? She's independently wealthy. I'm sure the attorneys will sort it out and she'll get what ever common assets they had coming to her.

It just bothers me that Ocasek isn't here to defend himself (and he was very private) but she makes it sound like they were married and together til the end when in fact she left him and had some boyfriends going on, not waiting til the divorce was final. I understand why he felt abandoned. Everyone believes the pretty lady without looking into both sides.
firenze55 See your point but he could have been gracious about the decades they had together. This is the problem with young girls marrying much older men. The men eventually are unable to perform marital duties...so then what? I always wondered what happens to these May-December couples at this exact point...wife in 50s, husband elderly...now what?

BTW, she was 24 when she married him, so she was well old enough to know what she was doing. She left him when his health was declining and he needed her the most. This is a mess of her making. If she took her marital vows seriously - in sickness and in health - and didn't dump him for another man, she wouldn't be in this legal picadillo. Yes, she puts him in a bad light and says she's betrayed and abandoned - crazy! Not cool when they have 2 sons and this can be sorted out discreetly with attorneys. She's just trying to drum up sympathy when she goes after his personal fortune like royalties. She will get half of their community property and assets but she wants more. Greedy.
I think she said 2 children from a previous marriage, not her children. Even more twisted. I would like to know who got the money? Besides half should be hers but they didn’t finish divorce. I hope you leaned your lesson don’t trust your partner make sure you got what it’s yours. Nothing but fairness. He may died and give everything to the waitress that is 25.
People often think if your beautiful, famous and rich your life is perfect. But real happens to all of us. God bless her and heal her 💞. She is moving through a lot.
I have found that the people that are very beautiful are usually the most insecure because that is what they are judged on by most people and they realize that.
I hope that’s sarcasm. She’s deplorable to trash her late husband after his death and not being able to defend himself. No wonder he cut her out. Zero class
@@somchai9033 I thought it was creepy when the interviewer asked her if she had any idea why Ric cut her out of his will and she says, no, I have no idea! Seriously! What a liar.

It's also creepy that she says that she was abandoned when Ric said that she abandoned him - and she did! She did leave him. But she has to make it all about her without any thought for their sons. She is very manipulative and creepy.

When, in death, a man chooses to punish those who made up most of his life, those who loved him the most, this tells you exactly what kind of man he was. Bitter, self absorbed, mean.
Which is how Most men are. Larry king just did the same thing. It's imperative for a woman to ALWAYS look out for herself. My grandma and her friends have told me this since before I could understand it.
She is still achingly beautiful and so unbelievably charming. This video was playing at the gym just as I was walking out this morning. I knew I had to watch this again!
@GRONK ROCKS Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I still think she is drop dead beautiful. This interview might be her finest moment - better than any modelling photo shoot. In this interview, she showcased a mix of authenticity, vulnerability, and no apparent hatred or resentment despite the sense of betrayal that she justifiably feels.
My God what a lovely women, she emits beauty grace and class in all her pictures and interviews. She posses a rare beauty deep within her soul. I really do feel for her plight, ive been through similar with an ex who refuses to pay me my settlement. Paulina is EXACTLY the type of women i would like to follow and look up too, she comes across as the beautiful kind neighbor you can always call and relie on. That aside, she really is underestimating herself, she has a fantastic body and a very beautiful face, i cannot believe the top cosmetic brands are not using her to sell there products. I think she should do her own podcast/lifestyle, makeup and anti ageing products herself, im 52 not all of us want cosmetic surgery/botox etc, but choose to live with the daily changes and except them as permanent sometimes, that does not mean that we do not want to look as great as we can, i think Paulina said it all in her interview but missed the fact she IS in fact the obvious gap between surgery/giving up and should lead the way for us all........as the little red hen said "if you wont help me, ill do it myself".
Her honesty is a beautiful thing and her grace is so apparent, she is an example for all women to strive and a great influence to see that nobody needs plastic surgery Botox or any unnecessary surgical procedures. She was attached to her husband, and his sudden death was a terrible shock for her because she loved him. I wish all the best for her and her children
Even if her husband was angry with her, she is the mother of his children. She also deserves to have the money she made. She loved and took care of him. He was wrong to leave her with nothing.
That what we call an ungrateful b.hopefully now he will pay in the afterlife.dudes want special treatment want women to give their all just to get situations like this and more.he was dead wrong he get no respect.now she don't have to deal with that anymore
Edith Carter, she did write a book about becoming a model, with a fictitious girl who comes to America and begins a modelling career at a very young age. Sounds a lot like what she must have gone through in her own life. Find it on Amazon, along with a children's book she also wrote.
Oh my god, YES. She’s genuinely very caring thoughtful person. I have a dystopian Mandela recollection of sketching her as a teenager. BUT thi sketch is long gone and I COULDN’T have sketched her her from a photograph I remember seeing from the time. Really really odd feeling. I was an artist in paper and pencil at that time. I make objects in metal now. She wouldn’t have been old enough to have been photographed at the time I made the drawing. Haven’t thought about that till just now. Weird.
That would THE TRIED & TRUE METHOD by which she could recover some of her losses .. just Write It from the Perspective of Truth .. probably would make her a lot of money .. she so deserves her share ..
She and I are the same age. She, and Elle McPherson, were "the goal" - weight, hair, look. She's even more beautiful now. It's her tenacity that I most admire now. May she overcome feeling like an imposter and see her own worth.
I too are the same age... I remember going to the store and buying Vogue magazine, the models of the eighties were stunning and natural beauties! Paulina Poritzkova, Kim Alexis, Carol Alt, Kathy Ireland, Christie Brinkley, Stephanie Seymour... They are all still beautiful today! I wish Paulina the very best, she seems like she has really been hurt. I hope she never feels bad about herself, she has beauty inside and out! 💖
@@grantnoroyan4083 a typical comment from a man. And I'm gonna bet one that's under 40, probably 30. FYI, outer beauty fades on is all if we are LUCKY enough to age.

It amazes me how people, especially men, are so critical of women as they age and yet they just think they can trade a woman in for a younger one once she hits a certain expiration date, if you will. You have to put more into what is on the inside b/c if you don't like the person you're with or if you're a total cad, you're going to be pretty lonely, either being totally alone or going through women like underwear. And once you hit a certain expiration date, no one will want you because you have nothing to offer personality wise or emotionally unless you're wealthy. But how sad is that? Man, it's a messed up world we live in today when people have the wrong priorities.
Oh my God ... No one even comes close to her beauty and intelligence. Those who talk about her "not aging well" are out of their minds with envy of her.
What a woman my god ... The class, beauty and honesty can be seen in her personality. I don't know why people do not understand the worth of such people around them
Exactly! Looking at her and seeing how she still genuinely grieves a person who betrayed her so terribly shows exactly how good her heart is. I feel so sorry for her and I wish her the best.
95% of men were invisible to that woman. She complains about being invisible to the men SHE WANTS. I have zero compassion for her, marrying a guy who could be her father just because he was rich and had status. Women need to make better life choices.
I know exactly how she feels. She and I are the same age and we both lost our partners suddenly. My partner of 14 years died suddenly of an aggressive form of liver cancer in May of 2021 only weeks after his diagnosis. He thankfully did not betray me in the way her husband did, but feeling like that person was your rock, your stability and safety and then suddenly having to learn how to live and navigate life without them is so scary and daunting. I also read that she was going through menopause (which can be awful) at the time...as was I...and having to deal with all the tribulations that come with that which only served to exacerbate the grieving process. My heart goes out to her. I hope she is finding a way to heal and gain peace.💞
@@danielc1978 Because she felt she put everything...her whole life and earnings into the marriage and he cut her out of his will like she never mattered, that's why. They shared a life and two sons, surely that has to count for something? The betrayal is multi-faceted. She's also grief stricken, naturally so it made the whole process that much more difficult.
I briefly met Paulina at a meet and greet for Estée Lauder in ‘88. Not thinking I reached over the table to touch her hair and to tell her how much I loved her hair. The security was on top of me in a split second. Paulina quickly deescalated the situation. She rubbed my motorcycle jacket sleeve which was paired and covers in punk rock stickers and told me she loved it. Then she said you can touch my hair. I just gently ran my hand down it. She signed her pic to me Great Jacket Love, Paulina I was a 17 year old fashion design student. This encounter made my year. She was sweet then. She is sweet, beautiful, and so intelligent now. Her IG in top notch. That’s my Paulina story.
OMG. Your story made me cry. Clearly, you are as beautiful and as humble as Paulina. And her hair -- so long and beautiful! No wonder you wanted to touch it!
She seems so real and.sweet. I loved the card and had all their albums. I always thought Ric was homely and skinny. It didn't matter to her. She really must have loved him. You are and always.will be beautiful, Paulina.s Most of the supermodels from the 80'
@@deniaridley It wasn’t because I touched her hair. It was because I touched her. Yes I got caught up in the moment. I honestly don’t care if people touch my hair but I get why some people don’t appreciate it.
I'm tired of people acting like older women are supposed to be treated the same as younger women no matter what. Stop praising her. When she was young, she never gave two flips about older models who were being dropped by their product line. She had her youth, and she lived a much better life than most people ever will. Shut up.
Paulina’s inner beauty outshines everything. Truly a gorgeous,pure soul. There are 4 year old children who I have met in my life, who are beautiful,”old souls.” Paulina is an,”old soul”. I identify with her story and history, buttons her’s is much harsher than mine. Still, pain is pain,and Father Time is relentless in his mission. No one has any entitlement with,” ole pa time.” Paulina is such an inspiration and roll model for women. We are ALL gloriously beautiful from day 1 until our last breath. Paulina has found Serenity and is totally comfy in her own skin. Sorry for your loss, sweet,dear Paulina. You were and stayed and are,”TRUE,” to yourself.May you always be surrounded by Light and Love and all that is honest, kind, and gentle. Rick grew into a better person because of you. So wonderful that forgiveness is part of your nature.Namaste, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. We all have the opportunity to grow through our sorrow and disappointments🌈🌟❤️🌎 ☮️🧚🏻🎶😘.
@@annaromano4582 I don't know too much of her outside of this video. I don't know why it betters that she has money. It's not that important; she's doing her.
@@Stephanie-zn6jt Hi, well, we 're in this discussion now. I guess... mmmm she is in a way a celebrity as well as a model....when I mentioned money, she still must hve her own as she's still successfully modelling - the emotional hurt, though, is there as she was very much in love with Ocasek - they were in love someone mentioned her being a trophy wife which I think is way off the mark...things change as people get older..... and the 24 year age gap became harder to bridge.. she's definitely had a colourful life
She is still the most beautiful woman in the world, inside and out. I love her honesty and humility and the way she faces her shadows. May the heavens rain down on her and replace all that she has lost many times over. 💖 a true star ⭐️.
Growing up with Paulina and the other supermodels in the 80s as the bar of beauty, I can only say that it was super difficult for me to find my own beauty. Decades later, I see I was always enough, my own measure was so skewed. Very grateful to have seen a tidbit of her real self; not the glamour lie, but a real woman who is aging and who sees herself as human; I only wish I had known better then… thank you for sharing this~ a new respect grows
Cheryl Tiegs said something once that always stuck with me, "Women disappear at 50." I thought it was one of the saddest and most profound things I ever heard, and immediately made me more empathetic.
@@berncl6540 It is the truth! I was lucky enough to be an attractive woman up until about 51, and as I aged, became a stressed-out caregiver for my mother, and gained weight I was treated so differently by everybody. It was startling! One of the most hurtful things of my life. If you treat older women with indifference, disrespect and/or disdain in front of younger generations then they will pick it up, too. And they have, indeed, picked it up!
@Anastazija Biverhauzen With what exactly? That outer superficial beauty isn't worshipped? Have you ever been on Instagram or watched TV? If you have more than outer beauty to offer, great, but women are often admired for their looks. Just the facts.
Ric deserved much better. It's cruel to dump and start divorcing your spouse like Paulina did with Ric when he was ill and he needed her the most: www.showbiz411.com/2019/11/08/exclusive-ric-ocasek-was-diagnosed-with-cancer-just-before-his-death-resented-estranged-wife-paulina-porizkovas-boyfriend-ed-solomon
@@lindaslattery8341 That article is not a tabloid. The author has written for the New York Times and many other publications. Twitter and Instagram are not tabloids - where Paulina Porizkova has been very active. She left Ric in 2017 and had other men. That was her decision. And it was Ric's decision to cut her from his personal fortune because he felt abandoned. Maybe she's learned a lesson - don't dump your ill husband for another man and start divorce proceedings. She is not a victim. Her interview is very manipulative and misleading.
@JL P I agree with you - large age gaps in marriages usually don't end well. She was 24 when they got married; she was hardly a child bride and knew what she was doing. He gave up his band and rock and roll lifestyle because of their marriage so he gave up a lot for her. The fact is that she left him when he was ill and she's been dating other men for years - she's hardly the loyal wife. He felt abandoned. She is conducting a pathetic PR campaign to grab Ric's cash, well after they split up.
Seems he was bitter. To do that to a person that took care of you and put their livelihood on the line for you is sad. She's beautiful. Keep your head up girl.
Ten to one he didn't want her to be with anyone else, or have his money support her in finding happiness without him. Even though he got tired of her, he still wanted her for himself.
@@madamezimba1007 I was reading an article that said he was upset at her for abandonment. Even though she lived with him, she had a boyfriend and was seen out and about with the new guy.
OMG she is sooooo sweeeeet and humble, her outside beauty is the mirror of her extreme kindness and gorgeous soul: the perfect exemple of true love, loyalty, modesty, elegance and true charm, just an amazing human being ❣
Thoughtful, expressive and really articulate person. The world has never changed. People of substance feel sympathy and compassion when they hear of the personal tragedy of others. People of substance look at others holistically and see the beauty in others regardless of age. In Paulina's case, she is physically stunning now, just as she was in her youth, but her honesty and vulnerability are equally stunning. I guess marketers, particularly with fashion, appeal to the audience that spends the most money but women like Paulina can help shift societal perspectives and the unhealthy preoccupation with youth.
Sam Ogilvie Good lord. Your comment was not just organic in nature but one of the few that TRULY understands that women are more than a version of physical perfection (whatever that means). Character, wisdom,.grace, compassion and self reflection r ALL major components in anyone's development. As a woman of 58 thank u so much 4 your kind words and keen insight. So beautifully put!

So it was about money for her after all.
Really out of his league, I think if she hadn't married Ric O. She would be so much better off, She could have lived a totally different life. But that's just alot of ifs. A perfect example of why not to marry.
that's just the perspective of someone who prizes looks, probably b/c you don't have them. Different yet equally perspective would be to say someone who's musically talented is out of the 'league' of someone whose talent is posing for pictures
@@helvete_ingres4717 No. It's a matter of standards of prime quality, which many humans recognize with many things,… except in a sense people like you who like to wrongly 'virtue signal'. Physical quality is just one aspect of what makes someone attractive, and it's the majority, in regard to who one wants to make more of, who one wants to make children with, who one is physically attracted to for physical intimacy. I think whole person. Do you think half person?
@@PlumbNutz And throw her under a Car? You must have repressed the portion of the interview about him cutting two of his sons, as well as his wife, out of his will. Family money; it wasn't all his to dictate. Devastating. So sorry for the family and friends.

One of the most interesting models who never took herself too seriously and was never a phony. She's totally right about it being very hard for women in their 50s, but I think she will overcome this obstacle of being shut out and have an amazing second act. If Lauren Hutton can do it , Paulina (who still looks amazing, yet self-effacing) can too. She's smart enough to make a new life direction successful, if she wants. The important thing when you're feeling "less than" is to stay busy, and keep your mind active with new things.
I was thinking the same thing. In that her sons I pray can band together and help her with finances as she figures stuff out. Once she is done grieving she can then start dating and hopefully meet a nice man her age . Clearly she is loyal and loving , any man would be lucky to find her!!
You do know that she left him in 2017 and has been dating Ed Solomon, right? The boyfriend she doesn't mention in this interview? When Ric became old and ill, dying, she dumped him.

@@firenze5555 You do not know that to be true. It might be true but it also might be that Ric was emotionally distant and drove her away. Ric's bandmates have commented that even they sometimes cut off from him.
Estee Lauder, and other prestigious brands would really benefit from having this classic beautiful woman. Tired of looking 18 year old representing anti-aging creams, it just doesn’t make any sense, and the consumers are not dumb.
Very true!!! And this woman beats all those 18 year olds...
@Sofia
I agree with you! That company only uses Asian woman or anyone under age. In fact, they had a 15 y.o. advertising fragrance. That's horrendous. I consider it false advertising to use such young ladies with beautiful faces and lovely smooth skin by nature. Not having endured the stressors of life or age. They should use Paulina now!
Bien dicho
I agree. She has timeless dedication to her craft and she should be a role model for women and possibly gender-fluid people and men in that we don't age gracefully and life is not a continuous jolly stroll through the park blossoming at its peak. Our faces just cannot be the same as it was when we are in our twenties and twenty year olds shouldn't have to worry about their appearance now, although it does help to start being mindful of one's inner and outer beauty however one sees beauty. Creme for fine lines and age spots? For people who have just started their adult life? Um how about no. I love my smile lines and crinkles between my brows.
Ditto. She looked great and spoke even better! What a joke this husband of hers.
Only the young'uns are saying she is not aging well. Those of us with a few more years know that she is aging beautifully, inside and out.
Wait till they hit 50. I think she looks great
She looks amazing.
Anyone, no matter what age, who thinks she's not aging well is an absolute idiot. Even as a young woman, I would have described this woman as "beautiful".
I am 28 and i think she looks fantastic,..would love to look like her,..and her charakter is so lovely
Beautiful real soul
I grew up hating myself for not looking like Paulina. One day, as a 45 year old former dancer and beginner aerialist, I walked into a class and she was a student! All my insecurities returned. And yet, she was the most genuine, gracious, beautiful woman inside and out! Not a shred of entitlement. Just a pleasure to be around. And very hard working and helpful and supportive of all the students. I was blown away by her kindness. She’s the real deal and it’s impossible not to love her when you meet her.
I always hear the most beautiful heart warming stories, heart breaking or interesting tid bits about celebrities or a place in time from the regular people in the comments. I learned more about what really went on in current wars for one example or foreign politics from the people that lived there on the ground. I mean all the time. It’s awesome. Oh I’m a 54 yo woman so I know about self esteem when it comes to beauty. Life just goes by too fast.
I can sense that through the screen.
They were neighbors. Delightful person. Large heart with a kind word for everyone, but you always caught a self-deprecating tone. I was very jealous of Ric. Sad to hear how she has been treated since his death. I hope her boys take good care of her.
@C L That is the exact impression I got of her from not only this interview but a few others I’ve seen now. I also just saw a sort of podcast she did about false eyelashes, and I swear she sounds like someone I could’ve grown up with, so down to earth, and yes self deprecating humor, and she is so completely honest, and sweet. I am 6 years younger than her and I hope I age as naturally & beautifully as she is! She truly seems as amazing on the inside as she looks on the outside, and I believe her humble beginnings in life were an asset to her genuine character. God Bless her 🙏🏼❤️ what a terrible thing to go through after loving someone so completely for well over 30+ years.

I like how she represents the 50+ crowd who don't want to pretend that they look 25 by filling themselves with botox. There's nothing wrong with it if that's your choice, but it's nice to see a naturally gorgeous woman age naturally and promote it too!
Hope I'm as graceful as she is at 50+!
Melanie Trump can't understand why no one wants her now as well?
Excellent statement. As and over 50 woman, it would be nice to see real woman representing us at our age.
It's infuriating that we don't see more women her age. She's beautiful, she's fantastic, her personality is so likeable... I'd prefer to see a giant billboard of her face as she is now than a twenty-something modeling foundation. As a 39 year old I want to know that make up can enhance me. I don't necessarily feel assured by make up claims on a baby face. But also, can we just stop discounting a woman's worth after she's past 40?? Heaven's sake...!
She is so naturally beautiful, and at 54 she still looks natural. Doesn’t have that Botox look or plastic surgery. Gorgeous.
IKR?! And this is a woman who has made a living off of her face. It says a lot that she hasn't touched it and is comfortable in her own skin.

@Rene Lynch Divorce Laws vary from state to state in regards to how the marital estate is divided and the impact left by a decedent spouse's will. I wonder who he willed his money to. Paulina can always contest his will and get more of what she was cut out of. I think the problem was Paulina was an Eastern European woman with traditional values whereas her husband was raised here in America the land of the me generation.
@Rene Lynch that's what I thought, that you can cut a spouse out entirely...especially when you are legally married at the time.
@jameshisself I did look him up... thank you. Says she introduced him as her new boyfriend after a year separation. According to this interview...the separation was not her idea.

@@GEN206 shut up
this is so touching and sad. she's not only stunning but also very eloquent and emotionally intelligent. even though their marriage worked out for a long time, I can't help but be sad that a 19 year old was preyed upon by a 40 year old man. even if she didn't consider the age difference a problem, grown or even middle-aged men going for teenagers is always a major red flag. at 19, however intelligent you may be, you're just too inexperienced to understand that. and while the fact that he cut her out of his will has nothing to do with the age difference, it's even more devastating since she devoted her whole youth, life (up to this point), and money to him. all that doesn't cast a great light on him as a person even though I'm sure she wouldn't want that to be the takeaway of the interview.
Yes, as she said, she had no self esteem, how can you really be knowledgeable at 19? When I was that young, I wanted no 40 year old near me, didn't care who they were it was just un-natural shall we say;' so at least I had that sense why go with someone or even would I be attracted to someone so much older anyway, a bit creepy.
She settled & made out fine. Ocasek wasn’t worth a whole lot when he died compared to what we might think. It’s common for divorce lawyers to tell their clients to change their wills as soon as divorce proceedings begin, which she did. She had already found another man. States provide an elective share if at least 1/3 so it’s not shocking that Ocasek followed his lawyer’s advice. Honestly, with most surprising to me is that he disinherited 2 of his adult children from a previous marriage.
@@r.williamcomm7693 I think you mean, he changed 'his' will when she started to divorce him. He doesn't sound like the nicest of people at all. Clearly she gave him so many years of effort and finally did what she had to do. He had claimed abandonment, but that was not it.

I stated what Icasek claimed to be his reasons for dis inheritance because most wills that disinherit say something but that doesn’t make it true. They could both be wonderful ppl or one or the other could be bad. She still had rights to a portion of his estate PLUS she also had her share of the marital estate. She wasn’t locked out penniless & I’m glad for that because that would indeed be wrong. She got a substantial settlement from his estate as she was entitled. Ppl didn’t seem to realize that they were watching a news story that was a few years old & that in 2021 she & the estate reached a settlement. Ocasek was never known as a bad man prior to this & he wasn’t expecting to die anytime soon when he signed the will. But there’s also been tragic cases where spouses didn’t change wills after divorces. Paulina Poriskova seems like a wonderful person & she doesn’t need to justify to anyone why the marriage ended. Likewise, imagine a spouse being in another relationship while going through a divorce & then inheriting because the will wasn’t changed when both parties expected the divorce court to divide the marital property & that each would be changing their wills to provide for their children or others. Ocasek was planning on being alive well after the divorce was over & had he lived a few months longer that probably would’ve been the case. So there’s no bad party here. Honestly I’d be very surprised if Paulina’s lawyer didn’t advise her to change her will to.
@@janebraun4482 Yes Ocasek claimed in his new will that she abandoned him. That doesn’t make it true. In some states when disinheriting a spouse in a will the testator must acknowledge the spouse as part of a showing that he or she understood & had considered the gravity of doing such. Some lawyers include it as a matter of practice even if it’s not required to increase the odds of the will being upheld in court if it’s challenged. The case law goes way back in time & the statutory law often reflects that. Some ppl don’t realize that the estate settled with Poriskova, as it should. She most likely got half of the marital property which is how divorce courts typically divide it. New York law forbids residents from completely disinheriting a surviving spouse. If a person is legally married at the time of his or her death, the spouse will automatically inherit a percentage of the estate’s assets-even if the spouse has been intentionally excluded from the deceased person's will or trust.
She gave all her beauty and youth to someone who at the end of his life was ungrateful and bitter ... towards her and his children from his 1st marriage .... Get those WINGS ! ... and try to be HAPPY ... all the best Paulina, you are very beautiful!

She is aging beautifully and gracefully. No botox, no plastic surgery, she is so gorgeous.
Edit: I'm also not against Botox, fillers, plastic surgeries. It's their life, their choice, their rights. Whatever makes them happy. It's just that some elderly women look so beautiful/graceful/charming naturally, with their wrinkles, rather than women who have done multiple surgeries and fillers, who has no wrinkles at all. But they look different kind of old. They don't have wrinkles at all but still they look much more older, weird, no charm, robot like face. I think people start over doing it. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. Like I said I'm not against it. It's just not my preference and likings at the moment.
Agreed. I’m not against injectables, but it just seems after several years of use, especially w/fillers, everyone’s face becomes distorted and they no longer look like themselves which is unfortunate.

yup! That is probably what he convinced her of. My gosh, I can't believe he left her nothing. They were not formally divorced yet, I could see if that had been finalized already but not before.

@@CS-ow4gl She separated from him in 2017. She left him when he was ill and his health was declining and lovey dovey with new men. She was divorcing him after all that time...most persons - male or female - would remove their future ex from their will at that time.

F*** off nice guy
The husband of my friend's siter-in-law ended their 25 years marriage because he wanted to have eye candy like his 50+ friends and she was not pretty enough. He was not even cheating but wanted to be free to be a tom cat. They divorced and he went on to leave like a twenty something.
His oldest son, then 14, heard his own father dismiss his mom like she was an old shoe.
The end result? He was robbed twice by the 20 somethings eye candy he was involved (by thousands of dolars). When he had cancer his ex-wife was the one caring for him for the sake of their boys... who never spoke to him again after the misery he brought to their mom... not even in deathbed.
Sounds like he changed. Sometimes this happens one person rejects the other even when the other still has love and they are the same person. Quite common.
Oh no not her too.. we really need to teach people how to choose good partners in school smh

Physical beauty is a priority with all things. Think whole, not partial, and physicality is a priority.

I highly doubt that after so many years of marriage. Such a trivial topic. This woman is intelligent with alot of depth.
I think it's more probable that he began to distance himself. He possibly could have known he was sick. Some men can't handle it and want to be alone when they're ill.
I feel for her. I was married to a man for 27 years and he completely cut me off when we divorced. No contact, none of my belongings... I can relate. I feel for her.
"my belongings"
Isn't getting divorced just that not sure why you would want to have anything to do with a divorced partner
Your husband completely cut you out of his life because he probably had another woman on the side.
The lesson here is DON'T GET MARRIED
You might want to look in the mirror when looking for reasons why your husband of 27 years decided to divorce you. Women initiate 75% of divorces (often because of their 'feelings'). Men, on the other hand, tend to stick it out..because men are practical. A man doesnt stay with a woman for 27 years..and 'all of a sudden' wake up one day and decide he wants a divorce. More than likely, he reached a point where he simply couldnt stand being around you anymore.
Think about all the things that you used to do for him early in your marriage...and what things you just quit doing for him. Did you let yourself go physically? Did you quit having sex with him (or the type of sex with him that he craved)? Did you make him feel special? Did you nag/complain to him about trivial stuff?
If your physical looks is what primarily attracted a man into marriage...then you better do whatever it takes to stay in shape/take care of your body (even after having kids). After all, if the financial ability of a man is something that attracted you to him...he BETTER be able to maintain that financial ability (which is perfectly reasonable).
I dont feel sorry for women in their 50's who complain about being 'ignored' by men/society....when they themselves (when they were much younger/hotter) IGNORED most men/most of those in society. Aint payback a M0F0?

Paulina brought him his morning coffee and found him dead. I guess she still acted as his wife/caregiver, even he claimed abandonment. Nobody knows what's going on in one's marriage but you don't write a woman you spent 30 years with, the mother of your 2 kids out of your will. Especially if she put all of her multimillion $ earnings into the family pot. That's just extremely mean.
especially when all of HER earnings went jointly into the marriage. Shows she wasn't selfish.
So, by definition he can't give away community property - wealth created when they were married. That must be split evenly - and they were still married. He decided not to give her the money he had prior to their marriage.
Unfortunately He was, most likely, having a "moment" when composing that will....She should have Contested the Will. Sure he was not of sound mind, at the point of signing that will..
I read she was dating someone else. One thing I learned in life, you dint spend a minute trying to hang on to someone who already moved on from you.

Hesitated to watch what looked like a model interview. Terrific interview. So articulate, humble, soulful and come across with a genuineness.
Too bad it's only her side. I'm puzzled that she doesn't mention that they were separated, for quite a while, and she had boyfriends. Ric probably thought the divorce was about to go through and, being in ill health, he changed his will. Why would he leave anything to his ex-wife? She's independently wealthy. I'm sure the attorneys will sort it out and she'll get what ever common assets they had coming to her.

It just bothers me that Ocasek isn't here to defend himself (and he was very private) but she makes it sound like they were married and together til the end when in fact she left him and had some boyfriends going on, not waiting til the divorce was final. I understand why he felt abandoned. Everyone believes the pretty lady without looking into both sides.
firenze55 See your point but he could have been gracious about the decades they had together. This is the problem with young girls marrying much older men. The men eventually are unable to perform marital duties...so then what? I always wondered what happens to these May-December couples at this exact point...wife in 50s, husband elderly...now what?

BTW, she was 24 when she married him, so she was well old enough to know what she was doing. She left him when his health was declining and he needed her the most. This is a mess of her making. If she took her marital vows seriously - in sickness and in health - and didn't dump him for another man, she wouldn't be in this legal picadillo. Yes, she puts him in a bad light and says she's betrayed and abandoned - crazy! Not cool when they have 2 sons and this can be sorted out discreetly with attorneys. She's just trying to drum up sympathy when she goes after his personal fortune like royalties. She will get half of their community property and assets but she wants more. Greedy.
The fact that he cut her and his own kids out SAYS a great deal about this person's mentality.
I think she said 2 children from a previous marriage, not her children. Even more twisted. I would like to know who got the money? Besides half should be hers but they didn’t finish divorce. I hope you leaned your lesson don’t trust your partner make sure you got what it’s yours. Nothing but fairness. He may died and give everything to the waitress that is 25.

You have to put more into what is on the inside b/c if you don't like the person you're with or if you're a total cad, you're going to be pretty lonely, either being totally alone or going through women like underwear.

95% of men were invisible to that woman. She complains about being invisible to the men SHE WANTS. I have zero compassion for her, marrying a guy who could be her father just because he was rich and had status. Women need to make better life choices.
@@stacybaldwin3346 i thought so
Jesus is coming back. Have faith in Him alone to be saved.
I know exactly how she feels. She and I are the same age and we both lost our partners suddenly. My partner of 14 years died suddenly of an aggressive form of liver cancer in May of 2021 only weeks after his diagnosis. He thankfully did not betray me in the way her husband did, but feeling like that person was your rock, your stability and safety and then suddenly having to learn how to live and navigate life without them is so scary and daunting. I also read that she was going through menopause (which can be awful) at the time...as was I...and having to deal with all the tribulations that come with that which only served to exacerbate the grieving process. My heart goes out to her. I hope she is finding a way to heal and gain peace.💞
The longer you are free & single & independent, the clearer your life and purpose becomes.
I got ME babe@@TheRhNegative
I'm not sure why you would feel "betrayed" if you were separated, and beginning divorce proceedings....?
@@danielc1978 Because she felt she put everything...her whole life and earnings into the marriage and he cut her out of his will like she never mattered, that's why. They shared a life and two sons, surely that has to count for something? The betrayal is multi-faceted. She's also grief stricken, naturally so it made the whole process that much more difficult.
She was such a beauty then. She’s more beautiful now. The passing of years cannot do much to a person who is beautiful in and out.
I briefly met Paulina at a meet and greet for Estée Lauder in ‘88. Not thinking I reached over the table to touch her hair and to tell her how much I loved her hair. The security was on top of me in a split second. Paulina quickly deescalated the situation. She rubbed my motorcycle jacket sleeve which was paired and covers in punk rock stickers and told me she loved it. Then she said you can touch my hair. I just gently ran my hand down it. She signed her pic to me Great Jacket Love, Paulina
I was a 17 year old fashion design student. This encounter made my year. She was sweet then. She is sweet, beautiful, and so intelligent now. Her IG in top notch. That’s my Paulina story.
OMG. Your story made me cry. Clearly, you are as beautiful and as humble as Paulina. And her hair -- so long and beautiful! No wonder you wanted to touch it!
Don't touch people's hair! That's not cool. But yeah, I get you.
She seems so real and.sweet. I loved the card and had all their albums. I always thought Ric was homely and skinny. It didn't matter to her. She really must have loved him. You are and always.will be beautiful, Paulina.s Most of the supermodels from the 80'
Most of the supermodels from the 80's still are to me.
@@deniaridley It wasn’t because I touched her hair. It was because I touched her. Yes I got caught up in the moment. I honestly don’t care if people touch my hair but I get why some people don’t appreciate it.
"They left me, and as soon as you find out how not--great I am you will leave me also." I felt that. :'(
Me too. My heart hurt so bad when I heard those words. That's exactly how I feel all the time.
😢😢
Heartbreaking……
I'm tired of people acting like older women are supposed to be treated the same as younger women no matter what.
Stop praising her. When she was young, she never gave two flips about older models who were being dropped by their product line.
She had her youth, and she lived a much better life than most people ever will. Shut up.
@@darkwaters1010 👏👏👏
Paulina’s inner beauty outshines everything. Truly a gorgeous,pure soul. There are 4 year old children who I have met in my life, who are beautiful,”old souls.” Paulina is an,”old soul”. I identify with her story and history, buttons her’s is much harsher than mine. Still, pain is pain,and Father Time is relentless in his mission. No one has any entitlement with,” ole pa time.” Paulina is such an inspiration and roll model for women. We are ALL gloriously beautiful from day 1 until our last breath. Paulina has found Serenity and is totally comfy in her own skin. Sorry for your loss, sweet,dear Paulina. You were and stayed and are,”TRUE,” to yourself.May you always be surrounded by Light and Love and all that is honest, kind, and gentle. Rick grew into a better person because of you. So wonderful that forgiveness is part of your nature.Namaste, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. We all have the opportunity to grow through our sorrow and disappointments🌈🌟❤️🌎 ☮️🧚🏻🎶😘.
She's so authentic, intelligent, and self-aware. And obviously gorgeous.
@@annaromano4582 I don't know too much of her outside of this video. I don't know why it betters that she has money. It's not that important; she's doing her.
@@Stephanie-zn6jt Hi, well, we 're in this discussion now. I guess... mmmm she is in a way a celebrity as well as a model....when I mentioned money, she still must hve her own as she's still successfully modelling - the emotional hurt, though, is there as she was very much in love with Ocasek - they were in love someone mentioned her being a trophy wife which I think is way off the mark...things change as people get older..... and the 24 year age gap became harder to bridge.. she's definitely had a colourful life
She is still the most beautiful woman in the world, inside and out. I love her honesty and humility and the way she faces her shadows. May the heavens rain down on her and replace all that she has lost many times over. 💖 a true star ⭐️.
When one or both parents choose to leave you, it haunts you forever.
Ric played up her daddy issues. Good for him.
svt what a terrible thing to say! No one deserves to be emotionally and psychologically manipulated!
@@m.w.3256 She was hot and he was a horndog. What do you want...
svt decency and compassion... how’s that for starters?!!! smh
@@m.w.3256 Very good, but, Ric is gone - you can't change history.
Growing up with Paulina and the other supermodels in the 80s as the bar of beauty, I can only say that it was super difficult for me to find my own beauty. Decades later, I see I was always enough, my own measure was so skewed. Very grateful to have seen a tidbit of her real self; not the glamour lie, but a real woman who is aging and who sees herself as human; I only wish I had known better then… thank you for sharing this~ a new respect grows
Cheryl Tiegs said something once that always stuck with me, "Women disappear at 50." I thought it was one of the saddest and most profound things I ever heard, and immediately made me more empathetic.
This made me sad too. Two years from now, will I disappear too?
@@berncl6540 It is the truth! I was lucky enough to be an attractive woman up until about 51, and as I aged, became a stressed-out caregiver for my mother, and gained weight I was treated so differently by everybody. It was startling! One of the most hurtful things of my life. If you treat older women with indifference, disrespect and/or disdain in front of younger generations then they will pick it up, too. And they have, indeed, picked it up!
@Anastazija Biverhauzen Well unfortunately that is what is idolized and rewarded in a superficial world.
@Anastazija Biverhauzen With what exactly? That outer superficial beauty isn't worshipped? Have you ever been on Instagram or watched TV? If you have more than outer beauty to offer, great, but women are often admired for their looks. Just the facts.
@Anastazija Biverhauzen I just wanted to hear your opinion. Always welcome other points of view.
She articulately described her lovelife, and elegantly expressed her hurt and resentment. Hugs.
She’s beautiful inside and out. She deserved much better
Ric deserved much better. It's cruel to dump and start divorcing your spouse like Paulina did with Ric when he was ill and he needed her the most: www.showbiz411.com/2019/11/08/exclusive-ric-ocasek-was-diagnosed-with-cancer-just-before-his-death-resented-estranged-wife-paulina-porizkovas-boyfriend-ed-solomon
firenze55 you’ve already posted this. I see you like tabloids.
@@lindaslattery8341 That article is not a tabloid. The author has written for the New York Times and many other publications. Twitter and Instagram are not tabloids - where Paulina Porizkova has been very active. She left Ric in 2017 and had other men. That was her decision. And it was Ric's decision to cut her from his personal fortune because he felt abandoned. Maybe she's learned a lesson - don't dump your ill husband for another man and start divorce proceedings. She is not a victim. Her interview is very manipulative and misleading.
@JL P I agree with you - large age gaps in marriages usually don't end well. She was 24 when they got married; she was hardly a child bride and knew what she was doing. He gave up his band and rock and roll lifestyle because of their marriage so he gave up a lot for her. The fact is that she left him when he was ill and she's been dating other men for years - she's hardly the loyal wife. He felt abandoned. She is conducting a pathetic PR campaign to grab Ric's cash, well after they split up.
Shireen Al iraqia You were their marriage counselor?
This woman is still stunning! Gorgeous features..
Seems he was bitter. To do that to a person that took care of you and put their livelihood on the line for you is sad. She's beautiful. Keep your head up girl.
Ten to one he didn't want her to be with anyone else, or have his money support her in finding happiness without him. Even though he got tired of her, he still wanted her for himself.
@@madamezimba1007 I was reading an article that said he was upset at her for abandonment. Even though she lived with him, she had a boyfriend and was seen out and about with the new guy.
Thoughtful, classy, intelligent. I hope she finds peace.
Well she definitely found the confidence she always had in her all along.
Amen
She was a "model". She put on fancy clothes and people paid money to see her. None of the above.
My heart grieves for this woman. I appreciate her honesty! She still is incredibly beautiful in her 50s.
OMG she is sooooo sweeeeet and humble, her outside beauty is the mirror of her extreme kindness and gorgeous soul: the perfect exemple of true love, loyalty, modesty, elegance and true charm, just an amazing human being ❣
Thoughtful, expressive and really articulate person. The world has never changed. People of substance feel sympathy and compassion when they hear of the personal tragedy of others. People of substance look at others holistically and see the beauty in others regardless of age. In Paulina's case, she is physically stunning now, just as she was in her youth, but her honesty and vulnerability are equally stunning. I guess marketers, particularly with fashion, appeal to the audience that spends the most money but women like Paulina can help shift societal perspectives and the unhealthy preoccupation with youth.
Sam Ogilvie Good lord. Your comment was not just organic in nature but one of the few that TRULY understands that women are more than a version of physical perfection (whatever that means). Character, wisdom,.grace, compassion and self reflection r ALL major components in anyone's development.
As a woman of 58 thank u so much 4 your kind words and keen insight. So beautifully put!
Well said.
She was beautiful but too honest
@@shasharasul6517 Too honest 4 whom precisely? It was her interview regarding her life.
@@robyndismon394 too honest for that stupid man Robyn , i mean people with the most authentic personalities get played by the most , i was seeing myself , i almost said it about myself , cheers mate
she is more beautiful than any model today. REAL. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Everyone commenting on her parents in her beauty, which is undeniable. But I’m mostly captivated by her story and her strength and her pain. Wow.
She created her pain of being left out of his Will when she left him in 2017, to live with another man. Will is valid. She sues she will look so bad,
Everyone loves her, she is an incredibly warm and kind person. I hope she is ok
She’s a sweetheart, so terrible what some people do to each other. Most of us have been through it to some degree or another, and it’s very hard.
Cal Native indeed. Betrayal can come in many forms. Ask me. I know.
She had a boyfriend ......abandoned husband
Yes
.a man a loyal
Wamen do it every day. With the full force of the law to aid and back them up. Good for Ric if he turned the tables ! #NoSympathy
+Respect to @veronica_c - - - no side should allowed to exploit the other.
Love Paulina - she has always been so honest and genuine. I completely understand her sense of betrayal. Wishing you all the best Paulina - it will get better!
I understand Ric's sense of betrayal and the cruelty: www.showbiz411.com/2019/11/08/exclusive-ric-ocasek-was-diagnosed-with-cancer-just-before-his-death-resented-estranged-wife-paulina-porizkovas-boyfriend-ed-solomon Paulina will get her half of their community assets - she just wants her hands on his personal fortune that he made before he married her. So it was about money for her after all.
Susan K, you look stunning ❤️❤️❤️
She's was SO out of his league!! Still is..absolutely gorgeous. Don't let ANY man have the upper hand, EVER! ❤️🌹
Don't let any woman have the upper hand, EVER! ❤🌹 Remember, God first,…. and equality.
Don’t let anyone man or woman have the upper hand . It works both ways !!
Really out of his league, I think if she hadn't married Ric O. She would be so much better off, She could have lived a totally different
life. But that's just alot of ifs. A perfect example of why not to marry.
that's just the perspective of someone who prizes looks, probably b/c you don't have them. Different yet equally perspective would be to say someone who's musically talented is out of the 'league' of someone whose talent is posing for pictures
@@helvete_ingres4717 No. It's a matter of standards of prime quality, which many humans recognize with many things,… except in a sense people like you who like to wrongly 'virtue signal'. Physical quality is just one aspect of what makes someone attractive, and it's the majority, in regard to who one wants to make more of, who one wants to make children with, who one is physically attracted to for physical intimacy.
I think whole person. Do you think half person?
Wonderful lady. Beauty, sensibility, honesty. How can you divorce a person like that. She was a gift!
"I'm going to have to learn to use my wings again", as she says.. So many women can relate to her!!
WHAT A CLASSY & KIND & BEAUTIFUL LADY!!!!
So classy and kind the way she throws her dead husband under a bus.
@@PlumbNutz And throw her under a Car? You must have repressed the portion of the interview about him cutting two of his sons, as well as his wife, out of his will. Family money; it wasn't all his to dictate. Devastating.
So sorry for the family and friends.
Plumb Nutz She did NOT throw him under anything. What interview were u watching? He gets a pass 4 HIS clandestine decisions. Why couldn't he have just been honest with her AND his 2 older children?
@@amandawilcox9638 You actually only know what she has said in this biased interview.
@@user-oe7yi2wz6j
Yes, All interviews have a certain bias.
But: Facts are facts, biased or not.
Listen and research, pick through bias and b.s. for real information. Big, smeary allegations may or not have one fact crawling around.
Enjoy your day. 🙏
the original, the first and by far the most beautiful supermodel of them all.
Absolutely !!!
Not by any means was she the "first". Go back to the 1960's and you will find the original Supermodels But I like her. She has her place.
Gia Marie 😢
Her and Gia
Yes, Gia n Paulina needed their mother's when they were growing up. Sometimes, parents died young. It can feel like abandonment too for some children.
Oh my goodness what a story!!! Much respect to this woman for being brave and pushing through!!!
One of the most interesting models who never took herself too seriously and was never a phony. She's totally right about it being very hard for women in their 50s, but I think she will overcome this obstacle of being shut out and have an amazing second act. If Lauren Hutton can do it , Paulina (who still looks amazing, yet self-effacing) can too. She's smart enough to make a new life direction successful, if she wants. The important thing when you're feeling "less than" is to stay busy, and keep your mind active with new things.
She also never got into partying and drugs, which would have been so easy to do, living in the modeling and rock worlds.
Sandra Spencer very true
i never thought lauren hutton was anything
@@teresalinton6401 But lots of influential people did - and they were in a position to give her work, hence her success.
When she was 50 he was 70.... he was old and tired, she’s still relatively young. You can tell she really loved him.. she’ll be ok!!!
I was thinking the same thing. In that her sons I pray can band together and help her with finances as she figures stuff out. Once she is done grieving she can then start dating and hopefully meet a nice man her age . Clearly she is loyal and loving , any man would be lucky to find her!!
You do know that she left him in 2017 and has been dating Ed Solomon, right? The boyfriend she doesn't mention in this interview? When Ric became old and ill, dying, she dumped him. That's just evil. www.showbiz411.com/2019/11/08/exclusive-ric-ocasek-was-diagnosed-with-cancer-just-before-his-death-resented-estranged-wife-paulina-porizkovas-boyfriend-ed-solomon She betrayed him, she's not getting his money; he left it to his children, which is totally normal in the situation.
@@firenze5555 You do not know that to be true. It might be true but it also might be that Ric was emotionally distant and drove her away. Ric's bandmates have commented that even they sometimes cut off from him.
Anthony Mason did such a good interview and Paulina was so self-aware, vulnerable, and candid. A great interview.
Great interview!! Paulina is so genuine.
Mason has turned into THE interviewer of musicians on tv
betpow true. Great interview with Hozier this AM on CBS Morning News
She doesn’t need makeup because she looks beautiful without it! Wish her all the best and hopefully she will prevail in whatever she comes across.
