BUTT INJECTION EPISODE on American Greed NOW
Pebblez the Model Story
An adult entertainer was sentenced in Mississippi Friday to seven years in prison for helping set up an illegal silicone buttocks injection that killed an Atlanta woman.
Natasha Stewart, 40, was convicted of manslaughter in the 2012 death of 37-year-old Karima Gordon. Stewart, who goes by the professional name of Pebbelz Da Model, took $200 to refer Gordon to the injector and falsely claimed the person was a nurse.
Mississippi Judge Bill Gowan sentenced Stewart of suburban Memphis, Tenn., to seven years in prison and eight years of suspended time for manslaughter. He ordered her to serve five years at the same time for conspiracy to commit culpable negligence manslaughter.
Stewart says she regrets Gordon's death and was "blinded by this substance called silicone" and her quest for "outer beauty."
Stewart pleaded for mercy in the sentencing.
"My heart and deepest condolences go out to Karima Gordon and her family and friends," Stewart said as she fought back tears. "I'm so deeply sorry. All I ever wanted to do was help Karima."
Stewart testified during her trial that Gordon was insecure about her body and wanted help fixing previously botched buttocks enhancements. Stewart said she connected Gordon with the woman performing the injections to help her out, not for money. But she said Gordon insisted on paying her.
Gordon died from silicone embolism in her lungs about a week after getting the shots in March 2012.
Stewart testified that she believed the woman performing the injections at a Jackson, Miss., house was indeed a registered nurse. Stewart had been charged with "depraved-heart" murder, but the jury convicted on a lesser charge of culpable negligent manslaughter.
Tracey Lynn Garner, the one suspected of administering the injections, is charged with depraved-heart murder in the deaths of Gordon and another woman, Marilyn Hale of Selma, Ala. She has pleaded not guilty, with her trial scheduled for March.
A friend and a prison minister also pleaded for mercy on Stewart's behalf, saying she had changed her life during the 13 months she's been held in the Hinds County jail.
Gordon's family was unable to travel to the sentencing Friday because of wintry weather in Atlanta, but sent a letter that Gowan read. They wrote that Stewart already had a "life sentence" because of the number of silicone injections she's received. Stewart testified that she got injections herself more than 20 times over seven years.
Family members wrote that they didn't want Gowan to "throw the book" at Stewart, but also that she "must pay for the part she has played."
Stewart could have faced a sentence of 25 years, but Gowan noted she had never been in legal trouble before.
"It appears this is your first encounter with the law," Gowan said. "Unfortunately, it is a very significant encounter with the law."

‘The Backside of the Story’ Book Exposes Celebs
IMAG2510
Author Kim Smedley, left, with a fan of the book, “The Backside of the Story.”
Kim Smedley can identity, with pinpoint precision, which celebrity females’ big booties are fake.
How would Smedley know this? That’s because she injected many of them herself as the professional posterior pumper for the better part of a decade.
Smedley has recently emerged from federal prison after serving three years for conducting an illegal, interstate butt injection operation that netted her hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for about nearly 10 years. She has poured the contents of her life and experience of running the underground booty-boosting business into a provocative and poignant book, The Backside of the Story, to peel back the layers that are covering up the underbelly of the body-alteration business.
Smedley recently hosted a book signing in Atlanta, the place where she made her illicit riches and lived the first-class, five-star lifestyle as she jetted all over the North American continent injecting hundreds upon hundreds of thirsty women who craved the onion-shaped booty.
Nyssa Green, the owner of Emmy Award-winning Green Room Agency, certainly understands the pressures the worlds standard places on women to be. Curvacious.
” It used to be that curves and pressure to be vulumptous was a black thing or placed on women of color, says Green. But with the J Lo booty phase and Kim Kardashian booty seems pressure is on all women in the industry to maintain a certain body shape,” Green surmised.
Green asked Smedley if she thinks this pressure from society is why women are willing to undergo and big for these injections even at the risk of the procedure being performed by non medical licensed people as Smedley.
Smedley claims this phase started well before the Kardashians and Jennifer Lopez’s of the world. Smedley said the trend began with requests from transgenders and strippers in urban America long before the world even knew who Kimmie Cakes and J-Lo were, and then the referrals just came from managers to artist and industry clients then everyday housewives and everyday people. Until standing in front of a judge awaiting sentencing Smedley truly thought she was helping women w their self esteem issues.

Re: BUTT INJECTION EPISODE on American Greed NOW
I remember her story, I felt so bad for the victim.Pebblez booty was like 3 different colors it looked disgusting! But she made alot of money in the hood clubs.I would've never let her operate on me, but it's sad lots of women are going to people that aren't even doctors to get this procedure done and are dying:(
But I definitely agree that the strip-club fantasy set the tone for regular civy women wanting to keep up or one up.

It's so crazy to me all the shit we've taken from them for decades yet civilians are killing themselves to get in on our thing! I remember having to dress down in "respectable" places but now respectable people are wearing the shoes, clothes, and bodies that were seen as obscene before.
Re: BUTT INJECTION EPISODE on American Greed NOW
^^^Yes, I 100% agree! I'm seeing more women wearing skin tight clothing everyday & some even to their professional careers. I think that's what it ultimately boils down to, we make quite a bit of regular/civy women feel uncomfortable or insecure or like they have to "Keep Up". Which is odd to me because we have an on & off switch too.I'm basic af & look regular as hell when I'm not working lol.
Re: BUTT INJECTION EPISODE on American Greed NOW
No one should be injecting silicon into themselve period. Medical Grade Implants are sterilized, installed by professionals and the silicon is enclosed. If you can not afford a BBL or implants then you should save up or try to finance the surgery or realize it is not for you. T

It comes down to bad self-esteem and it is very sad. I'm actually pretty boring and regular. I basically wear sweats and t-shirts all of the time. Before I got into the industry I had that viewpoint that I "had to keep up." We are entertainers and you can't compare that to regular life. I feel bad for the woman, though. Sad.

I really think many of these women are clueless of the risks. They're probably not doing their research and just looking at it as a bargain like how women would go overseas to less medically advanced countries to get plastic surgery for fraction of the price.
And the ones who know it and just don't care are playing Russian roulette so to speak with their body and health. Not wise at all.
There needs to be more education (like some kind of psa) about the dangers of doing this.
