Fans think The Weeknd's new 'plastic surgery' look is a reference to his ex, Bella Hadid

The Weeknd recently shocked the world by unveiling his dramatic new "plastic surgery" look and now fans are speculating that it's a reference to his ex, Bella Hadid.

The 'Blinding Lights' singer unveiled the look in the music video for 'Save Your Tears', which premiered earlier this month.

"But then you saw me, caught you by surprise," he aptly sings while sporting a thinned (and crooked) nose, bloated cheeks, puffed-up lips, and surgery scars among a variety of other new disturbing new features.

Now, shocked fans are speculating why the singer decided to go for such a drastic look in the video, and some have concluded that the look is a reference to his supermodel ex, Bella Hadid.

One Twitter user wrote: "he got surgery to look like Bella Hadid I think [sic]."

Another Twitter user wrote: "the weeknd is definitely bashing bella hadid with the whole plastic surgery themes [sic]."

Alongside a skull emoji, a third wrote: "i just need to know what bella hadid did to the weeknd that he ended up hating her this much [sic]."

People have been speculating about whether or not Hadid has had plastic surgery for years.

During a 2018 interview with InStyle, Hadid denied ever having plastic surgery saying: "People think I got all this surgery or did this or that. And you know what? We can do a scan of my face, darling. I'm scared of putting fillers into my lips. I wouldn't want to mess up my face."

The Weeknd implied something was happening to his face with bandages at the American Music Awards: 

The Weeknd's appearance is not the only reason why people believe he is referring to Hadid. Attention has also been drawn to the lyrics of 'Escape from LA', which read: "LA girls all look the same / I can't recognize / The same work done on they face".

A later lyric reads, "She got Chrome Hearts hangin' from her neck".

Why is this significant? We hear you ask. Well, Hadid was raised in LA and has worked with the brand Chrome Hearts on a number of occasions - she's even released a collection with them.

However, other fans believe that the "plastic surgery" look is simply a part of the overall concept that he created for the album.

One Twitter user wrote: "No he has been appearing at awards shows with fake injuries. Those are prosthetics to simulate plastic surgery. Its a part of the theatre he created for this album [sic]."
