After her ‘Bridesmaids’ co-stars — Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy and Ellie Kemper — reunited on stage at the 98th Academy Awards, Wendi McLendon-Covey took to Instagram to explain her absence: she’s recovering from plastic surgery. ‘In response to some of the DMs I’m getting: I had a neck lift last week, because I’m tired of looking like a melting candle,’ she wrote to her followers. ‘So, I had to skip the Academy Awards. No drama. Everything is fine.’ The Oscars aired live on Sunday on ABC; the show is now streaming on Hulu.
