Did 'Botox Mom' Lie for Money?

By PopEater Staff Posted May 20th 2011 03:50AM

Did you think reports of a mom injecting Botox in her 8-year-old daughter were unbelievable?

Turns out, you may be right. TMZ is reporting today that it has received a sworn statement made by Sheena Upton, claiming a British tabloid, The Sun, paid her $200 to pretend to be Kerry Campbell for the story "I Give My 8-Year-Old Daughter Botox" that ran in March.

"I was provided with the story, instructions and a script to follow for a recorded interview," TMZ quotes Upton as stating.

According to the website, Upton also says "Good Morning America" and "Inside Edition" approached her after The Sun's report, and says she was offered "a large fee" to tell her story on air.

"The truth is I have never given my daughter Botox, nor allowed her to get any type of waxing, nor is she a beauty pageant contestant," she says in the statement, according to TMZ.

After the 'GMA' story, officials from the San Francisco Human Services Agency reportedly removed the girl from her mother's custody, but according to TMZ she has been returned home after a medical exam showed the youngster never had Botox.

According to TMZ, an ABC News spokesman says the network is looking into the statement.

"We have just seen the sworn declaration on TMZ written by Sheena Upton, a.k.a. Kerry Campbell, and are vigorously investigating her most recent statement and rapidly shifting story," the site reports. " 'Good Morning America' has repeatedly questioned Upton, members of her family, and other sources who again and again stood by the Botox story."

I wonder if they can charge her with something because it's just sickening that she would do such a thing and then have her own daughter play the game too? What a piece of garbage that mother is for even going along with it.

This is a mother who doesnt have a clue, as to how to raise a child. Its pathetic that anyone, would use their child like this, all to make a fast buck.
How any parent can teach their child to lie is a mystery to me.
Wew would expect this kind of behavior from a teen mother, but never a adult parent.
I wish that cps would keep this child, and find her a new home.
No child should ever be raised by such ignorance, I hope cps, will keep a very close eye on her, I know they will give her right back to this 'mother.' Its this very kind of parent, that ends up making a mess out of her daughters life.
She will be confused by this type of mother. This woman is not playing with a full deck.

FRAUD!

Sigh.
It's sad that people exploit their children to make money. (i.e. balloon boy, botox girl. . .)
But also it's sad that people believe that these things could, can, and in some cases, at least the botox injections, probably do. A sad fact in our society and unfortunately it says a lot about where we are headed.
