In February 2011, a 20-yeear-old Nigerian British student Claudia
Aderotimi (right), had a butt enhancement surgery by a transgender
rapper Padge Victoria Windslowe (left). You see, Claudia is also a
video vixen, so she felt having a 'bigger booty' would help her appear
in more videos.
She then traveled from her home in London to Philadelphia to have
silicone injection. Claudia developed chest pains and struggled for
breath 12 hours after she had the illegal injections at a budget
hotel. She was rushed to hospital where she died.
According to Daily Mail; "Padge is now standing is now on trial for
third-degree murder in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. The
42-year-old is accused of using a mix of industrial-grade silicone and
glue that spread to Ms Aderotimi's brain and lungs, causing heart
failure and killing her. It is believed Windslowe treated her with
cheap 'industrial' silicone, normally used as a sealant, rather than
medical- grade material used in breast implant surgery. Windslowe, who
does not have an injecting license, then allegedly closed the wounds
with glue and cotton balls.
When Ms Aderotimi complained of chest pains, Windslowe allegedly told
her to drink more fluids and to call an ambulance if needed. At the
pre-trial hearing, Windslowe boasted of the quality of her work and
told the judge; 'I am the Michelangelo of buttocks injections...A lot
of people came to me. My work spoke for itself.' Police say that
Windslowe fled the hotel room after Aderotimi started having trouble
breathing during 'a touch-up,' which was intended as part of her
birthday celebrations.
A coroner has testified that the industrial-grade silicone spread to
her lungs and brain and caused a pulmonary embolism. Though she had no
medical training, Windslow would charge clients up to £1,200 per
injection. Windslowe is also charged with practicing medicine without
a license and aggravated assault for an injection she gave exotic
dancer Shurkia King at another 'pumping party'. The hearing was held
to discuss the defence's request to have the trial aborted as one of
the prosecution's key witnesses has stated she will not travel from
London to Philadelphia to testify.
The trial will resume on Monday."
