After being criticized for looking “ugly” and “cheap,” Dolly Parton posted a picture with her husband and and captioned it

Dolly Parton, the country songstress, is nearly in her sixties, but some still criticize her appearance. Regardless, she is unconcerned with the critics because she is the most attractive to her spouse.

Carl Dean, the singer-songwriter’s spouse of five decades, met her in 1964 outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee. He was twenty-one years old, and she was eighteen.

Parton remembered the time they met in 1976, when Dean was driving his pickup truck and noticed her and hailed her. He made an immediate move by asking her out on a date, but she rejected it.

On the other hand, Parton invited Dean over while babysitting her nephew. He went to the residence every day that week but was not permitted to enter. “We sat on the porch,” the actress explained.

Parton went on to say that when her aunt was finally ready to take over, she was allowed to “travel anywhere” with Dean from then on.

He introduced her to his parents at the earliest opportunity. Dean knew she was the one the moment he laid eyes on her, according to the acclaimed star.

On May 31, 1966, the pair married in a small ceremony in Ringgold, Georgia. In May 2016, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and Dean raved over his famous wife in a rare statement:

“I’m going to marry that girl,” was my initial thought. My second thought was, “Lord, she’s attractive.” That was the start of my life. “I wouldn’t change the previous 50 years for anything on the planet.”

Despite the fact that his wife lives a highly prominent life, Dean prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Parton, in turn, has respected his desires and kept their marriage out of the spotlight. During an appearance on “The Kelleigh Bannen Show” in March 2022, she alluded to the matter.

Because of the knowledge her mother passed down to her, the philanthropist was able to separate her personal life from her business life. Her mother instructed her to “give away,” but not everything, so that she might save some things for herself.

Parton stated that keeping certain elements of her life secret had aided her marriage. She went on to say that she learned how to keep specifics about her marriage private, which grew easier with time.

“It’s simply natural for me to protect the things and people I care about, as well as my personal privacy,” the award-winning composer explained.

Another thing Parton guards is her health. In June 2021, the “Steel Magnolias” actress claimed that she follows an 80/20 diet.

During the week, she follows a low-carb diet, but on weekends, the entrepreneur lives the 80/20 lifestyle.

Parton’s diet excludes fruits and vegetables; however, she is flexible with her cuisine and does not adhere to a particular diet plan. The actress revealed that she tried several diets:

“Every diet in the book was attempted.” I experimented with some that weren’t in the book. I attempted to consume the book. “It tasted better than the majority of diets.”

Parton has also spoken openly about her appearance, notably her various cosmetic operations. The “Joyful Noise” star admitted in September 2019 that she is not gorgeous until she works on her body:

“My outfit is inspired by a rural girl’s sense of glam.” “I’m not naturally attractive, but I make the best of what I’ve got.”

The Hall of Famer admits to altering her looks in order to seem lovely, adding that she will go to any lengths to obtain the image she desires.

Parton received severe criticism for her actions as she rose to stardom. She remembers people advising her that she should shed her characteristic look if she wanted to advance in her profession.

“The most common piece of advice I’ve received is to simplify my appearance, including my hair and clothing. They would tell me not to appear so cheap because no one would ever take me seriously.

Trolls on social media have made disparaging remarks about the Grammy Award winner’s looks throughout the years. “Dolly Parton is one unattractive lady,” one Twitter user said.

Another person tweeted something similar, adding, “I’d still motorboat those warlocks!” A third individual said the same thing about Dolly Parton being “ugly,” while a fourth added, “Dolly Parton is so ugly, but she has great breasts.”

The Queen of Country, on the other hand, has remained unmoved by the criticism and continues to rock her look since it suits her personality. “It takes a lot of money to appear this cheap,” Parton famously stated.

Parton was at the peak of her career in the 1980s, when she suffered from a variety of health problems. The singer experienced significant stomach discomfort and bleeding and required two procedures to stem the internal hemorrhage.

Parton began self-medicating during the process, drowning her emotions with drink and food. As a result, she had a raspy throat and was unable to sing.

Meanwhile, she began an extreme diet, went on a binge, and swiftly gained 50 pounds. Parton revealed in 2017 that she had a “large appetite” for someone her height.

The Tennessee native was a fan of canned meat and fast food, and she could devour three pizzas and still desire McDonald’s and French fries.

The pattern repeated until she gained 10 pounds in 10 days and then opted to starve it off. Doctors told her to lose 20 pounds because the poisonous pattern was putting a strain on her body.

They ordered her to consume the correct foods, but she was already addicted to the pattern, and she collapsed while performing against their orders in Indianapolis. Parton passed out as a result of an internal hemorrhage. She was diagnosed with endometriosis and had her tubes closed after undergoing a partial hysterectomy.

Parton was unable to have children because of the procedure. She and Dean had hoped to have six children together before her diagnosis, but that goal was dashed. She talked about her terrifying experience and gradually recovered her health.

Parton stated that she was not interested in drastic dieting and instead chose a nip-tuck to get the desired small figure. She stated that as long as it makes you happy, you should do it.

Her spouse, on the other hand, seems unconcerned with her appearance and has come to accept it. “He doesn’t care whether I’m big,” Parton said, adding:

“He was never switched off.” “He thinks I’m the sexiest, most beautiful lady on the planet.”

Parton previously stated that “big gals” are everyone’s favorites and that she had been advised to reduce weight but refused. “My weight never made me less money,” she explained.

Parton revealed a never-before-seen throwback photo with her husband in November 2021, and admirers swooned, calling him “handsome.”

The two are holding hands in the photo, on which she commented, “Find you a companion that will support you like my Carl Dean!”
