This Woman Took Illegal 'Booty Injections' And Ended Up With A 59-Inch Arse

This Woman Took Illegal 'Booty Injections' And Ended Up With A 59-Inch Arse

It's got its own postcode.

When people become fans of a certain look or fashion trend, obsession takes over and they'll keep going to extremes to make sure they're a poster person for the look.

Courtney Barnes is an example for women who want a 'big booty', and she went to extreme lengths to get a 59 inch derriere.

You might think that she did nothing but squats for a year straight that her arse swelled to the size of a baby elephant, but you'd be wrong.

Courtney, an economics graduate, used 'illegal butt shots' to massively up the shape, size and roundness of her behind.

She had admired the bulbous and curvaceous nature of dancers who have made the 'ghetto booty' a desirable trait, and so decided to attend 'pumping parties'. At these shindigs, injections of silicone and other unknown substances are pumped into one's arse.

"Many people ask me 'are these injections dangerous?' And the answer is yes," Courtney told Barcroft TV. "Even if it isn't fatal immediately, you don't know how it is affecting your body. These are very dangerous products that are being injected."

People with no medical experience or expertise are in charge of the injections. That, paired with the fact they're packed full of harmful substances, does beg the question of why anyone would do it in any capacity. Courtney decided to undergo three rounds of it.

She claims the benefits of the injections outweigh the risks, saying that she is aiming to show people the positive effects.

"One thing that I did learn in economics is that it's about having a product that people want - and my product is myself right now," she said. "I want to show men, women, and children that it is possible to be beautiful, smart, and have a big ass."

If a needle is injected straight into a vein, God forbid, it can cause death within minutes as the solution travels to the lungs.

Courtney told Barcroft: "I don't know for sure what they injected me with. But when I got it, she said it was like some hydrogel, some kind of silicone that they normally put in gummy bear implants.

"You don't know how your body is going to react. It is still something foreign that's in your body. It's a gamble.

"A close friend of mine got it removed and she ended up having to have blood transfusions and she was in the hospital for months. It was a nightmare for her."

The former student is now well known on the Miami club scene and on Instagram for her huge ASSet, so made the wise decision to monetise it.

"I was working at a traditional office job at that time and so many pictures and videos of me were going viral just out shopping and dancing in the clubs," she said. "That's when I started to model and get myself out there. I knew how to best market myself and the success was almost overnight."

Unfortunately, for all the fame her booty has brought her, and the positivity it has brought to her life, she cannot escape the fact that it is beginning to sag.

Having gone through the dangerous process, she says that she won't get anymore illegal injections, and may even consider reducing the size later in her life.

She said: "My butt does not sit up as much as it used to and I can see a little discoloration in the skin.

"The body is complex and people are even getting limbs transplanted. So I am trusting that they can figure out what to do with the booty.

"I try not to live with the regrets - I just feel like that this is my story. I made a decision to do something that was a little risky. I wanted more and I didn't have all the information.

"I trusted people without knowing the full facts and I was lucky that nothing bad happened to me but I'm happy with my look and I love my body."

With a big ass comes big responsibilities, of course.

However, Courtney isn't best pleased with her responsibilities, as she feels she's over sexualised by men, and intimidating towards women.

"My career is fun but at the same time it is really difficult for people to take you seriously when it comes to certain businesses.

"I feel like having a really big butt or having really big boobs, you are completely over sexualised.

"People only want to buy something sexual from you and only want to consider you in that way but I actually have a brain and I'm very business-minded.

"People stare at me everywhere I go and not every reaction is positive. I feel like women are intimidated by me and men view me as a piece of meat.

"I'm actually quite a shy person and being looked at constantly can make me feel uncomfortable sometimes.

"Two times in my life I've had guys pumping gas at the gas station and they are watching me and they drive off with pump in their car. It's crazy, they just lose focus."

To be fair, if most people see a 60 inch arse, it's a given that they're going to stare. It's not something you see every day.
