Hunter Schafer Says Bottom Surgery Was ‘Amazing’

Eric Wilson (0:08)

Hello, and welcome to The TMZ Podcast The Afternoon Edition, where, you know, we really get to let our hair down and have fun. And today, we're going to do some okay, pretty, pretty fun neutral stories, right?

Netta Anvar (0:20)

They're the best stories we've ever done.

Eric Wilson (0:22)

Handpicked by Netta, I'm Eric Wilson.

Netta Anvar (0:25)

I'm Netta Anvar.

Eric Wilson (0:27)

Netta decided to eat a fucking Jolly Rancher before we started taping.

Netta Anvar (0:30)

It's ice, it's gonna melt in two seconds.

Eric Wilson (0:32)

But here we are.

Happy Monday. Hope you guys all had a good weekend. Not the craziest weekend, thank God. It's nice to come in on a Monday where not everything's crazy.

Netta Anvar (0:43)

You kind of get addicted to the crazy, though.

Eric Wilson (0:45)

I do not.

Netta Anvar (0:46)

So then you kind of feel weird when it's not that crazy.

Eric Wilson (0:48)

I wouldn't say addicted. I would say used to it.

Netta Anvar (0:53)

I'm addicted.

Eric Wilson (0:54)

Addicted. Well, let's get into today's stories, Nettie. You picked them all, so you're going to lead them all.

Netta Anvar (1:01)

Really? I've never led. Okay, so our first one we're leading with is Hunter Schafer.

SPEAKER_3 (1:07)

Yeah.

Netta Anvar (1:07)

Euphoria, most widely known for Euphoria. I'm a huge fan of her.

Eric Wilson (1:12)

She was fucking Eric Dane in the show, right?

SPEAKER_3 (1:14)

Yeah.

Netta Anvar (1:15)

That's a good way to remember her.

Eric Wilson (1:16)

Yeah.

Netta Anvar (1:18)

So she just revealed that she had bottom surgery last year.

Eric Wilson (1:24)

Yeah. To transition.

Netta Anvar (1:26)

That is a major gender-affirming operation. It is an operation that changes a person's genitals, often through removal or reconstruction, to better align with their gender identity.

Eric Wilson (1:39)

I see you have Google pulled up there. What do you got on there?

Netta Anvar (1:43)

I didn't know that they would print this out, so I asked the same thing. I said, well, I asked a lot of questions, but I asked, what is the definition of bottom surgery? Because I actually, I know so much about top surgery, from the lesbian community. There's some people that do that. I didn't know anything about bottom surgery.

Eric Wilson (2:01)

Yeah?

Netta Anvar (2:02)

It's something that I feel like you don't really know about unless you're in the transgender community.

Eric Wilson (2:05)

Well, if there's a top, there's gotta be a bottom, right?

Netta Anvar (2:08)

That's correct.

Eric Wilson (2:09)

So, I just would have assumed.

Netta Anvar (2:12)

But I feel like it's very common for someone who's transgender to not do bottom surgery as well.

Eric Wilson (2:18)

Yeah, I mean, cost is definitely always a factor usually. And I think, you know, in most cases, and I don't want to speak broadly here, but I feel like it's something that really helps the person fully come into their gender identity, right?

Netta Anvar (2:35)

Absolutely.

Eric Wilson (2:35)

So it is very comforting for people.

And then there's the other side where people get it and then re-transition back to their birth gender. And then, you know, I don't know what that process is like.

Netta Anvar (2:50)

What was her ex's name? Dominic Fike, right?

So she said she got bottom surgery last year. When did Hunter and Dominic date?

Eric Wilson (3:01)

I could not care less about a relationship.

Netta Anvar (3:04)

I just wanted to know, like, if she was with him before...

Eric Wilson (3:08)

Why would that matter?

Netta Anvar (3:09)

No, I was just curious.

Eric Wilson (3:11)

You just wanted to picture their sex?

Netta Anvar (3:13)

No, I... No, that's not what I said, Wilson.

Eric Wilson (3:15)

That sounds like what you're saying, Netta.

Netta Anvar (3:16)

Anyways, I'm very happy for Hunter. You freaky, freaky.

Eric Wilson (3:20)

Yeah, so over... almost a year ago now.

Netta Anvar (3:22)

Yeah, but...

Eric Wilson (3:23)

And she was very happy, very positive. She had an interview with Elle, and she says, I love it so much. It was amazing.

Netta Anvar (3:32)

But it's a very, very painful recovery. It's like insane.

SPEAKER_4 (3:36)

I'm sure, yeah.

Netta Anvar (3:37)

Insane. Was that a weird question to ask when they dated?

Eric Wilson (3:42)

They dated at 2022 to 2023, Tony says.

SPEAKER_4 (3:45)

Yeah.

Netta Anvar (3:47)

It wasn't a weird question.

Eric Wilson (3:48)

All right, you know, please throw...

Netta Anvar (3:50)

But that means that she got this surgery afterwards. I just want to...

Eric Wilson (3:53)

Yes. That's where... 22, 23, 24, 25
