A UK mom has recently come under fire after publicly suggesting that her 14-year-old daughter undergo extensive plastic surgery in order to become famous because "ugly people get nowhere", The Sun reported.
Former model Carla Bellucci has been no stranger to controversy, though this is the first time her brazen attitude and candid speech has involved one of her children.
Back in June, Bellucci claimed she flirted with a doctor and pretended to be suffering from a serious mental condition in order to get a nose job through the London Royal Free NHS Foundation Trust, an organization which provides free hospital care to the poor.
Cosmetic surgery is not normally provided by NHS unless for psychological or physical health reasons.
"I wanted a perfect nose and I've got one," she said after-the-fact. "I don't care what people say. Some might think I'm milking the system but that's what it's there for."
She added, "I'm just clever enough to know how to do it. All the people moaning are just jealous."
In an interview with Closer, she said that unlike her two sons, her daughter "isn't the most academic of girls, so I don't really care about her education."
Going even further, Bellucci added, "She will need to rely on her looks to get on in life so she will need to be perfect. Ugly people get nowhere these days."
"I am an excellent teacher and the bullies were devastating Tanisha's confidence," Bellucci explained. "Now she gets her school work done in half the time and then goes to the gym, works on her Instagram, has her nails done, and comes shopping with me. She's so much happier and more confident."
Tanisha added, "I hate school. Mum recognizes that forcing me to sit and study subjects I hate like maths or science will just make me miserable. Instead, she's helping me focus on what I want to do and what suits me."
"At the moment she loves the Kardashian look with the big bum and boobs and pouty lips," she said. "If she wants to be a successful influencer and reality star then she will have to fit the look of the time - so surgery is the obvious option."
Bellucci added, "She's good looking, but surgery will make her prettier."
The teen will have her lips injected with fillers on her 16th birthday as well as receive Botox before getting a breast enhancement at age 18.
Perhaps most controversially, Tanisha is also planning on undergoing the dangerous and highly controversial procedure of having a Brazilian butt lift. She said she and her mom have been in talks with local and oversea clinics to find a doctor who will perform the surgery when she's 16 with her mom's consent.
So far, with her mom putting in about £100 a month, the pair have saved up around £1,500 for the impending procedures. Tanisha has contributed money she's collected from birthdays and Christmas.
In total, the teen's planned procedures will likely total somewhere around £30,000 (around $36,000 USD).
"My mum isn't academic but she's a hustler with street smarts," Tanisha said. "She recognizes what I'm good at and is pushing me towards that. I'm so proud she is."
