British Woman Spends £20,000 To Look Like Kim Kardashian; Gets Boob Job, Hair Weaves And Clothes To Be The Perfect Clone Of 'KUWTK' Star
A British woman spent £20,000 to look like Kim Kardashian as she underwent a boob job, hair weave and splurge on clothes to become the perfect clone of the "KUWTK" star.
Claire Leeson, who hails from Chelmsford, Essex, admitted in This Morning, a daytime UK TV program that she is the British woman who spent £20,000 to look like Kim Kardashian, and that include breast implants, teeth whitening, hair weaves, make up, tanning spray, manicure and pedicure, butt pads and shoes and clothes.
Leeson was told by friends that she resembled the TV star, and that made her watch the family reality TV "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Huffington Post reports.
"So I watched [the show] and realized I had the same amount of siblings and that we have the same kind of arguments and things going on," she explained. "I thought she was so beautiful and I really wanted to be like her."
Claire Leeson also touched on bullying issue she has experienced after she was known as the British woman who spent £20,000 to look like Kim Kardashian.
"I was badly, badly bullied over my looks and it took me ten years to realise that I wasn't unattractive. I was so badly bullied that I didn't want to be alive anymore. My life was hell and I was told every day that I was the ugliest thing alive and that I should kill myself. People do not realise what a damaging effect it has on your mental state for the rest of your life."
But her transformation to a Kim-wannabe pays a huge price, literally. Leeson did not hide to This Morning that she is in debt "up to the eyballs" because of her Kim Kardashian obsession and receives threat letters from creditors. This financial issue does not discourage her to keep herself from looking like Kim Kardashian.
"When I get my Kimmy on I feel like I'm unstoppable and untouchable and I feel like no one can stop me and I can make something of myself," Claire Leeson added. "I feel strong ... and I feel that I have built enough confidence to love myself a little bit more."
