According to People Magazine, the lastest new sensation teeny bopper pop singer Charice got Botox in preperation for her upcoming appearance on Glee. The 18 year old reportedly had a 30 minute skin tightening procedure and then botox injections. Her surgeon Vicki Belo commented during a recent interview, that the botox was needed to flatten her ball shaped face so that she could have a “cuter face” and ”give you (her) the apple cheek look because it’s cute, right?’. Dr. Belo’s moral compass is completely fucked up. Why would you give an 18 year old a skin tightening procedure AND botox? Instead of being and adult and giving this young woman some much needed guidance, this woman thought it was better to make a dollar off of teen insecurity. Pafuckinthetic. Charice’s rep has since released a statement that this was not a cosmetic procedure but for a medical reasons, which of course is just spewing more bullshit on what it is already a shitty situation.
