40 year old Natasha Stewart, also known as Pebblez Da Model, has been convicted of manslaughter for referring a woman to a interior/floral designer who gave her illegal butt injections that led to her death.
Although Stewart, who also has cosmetic surgery on her derriere, admits she had no idea the injects were deadly, the judge felt she should still be held responsible for not only referring women to the faux doctor, but also accepting a $200 finders fee.
The former model told the jury that she was just trying to help an insecure woman. A week after the March 2012 procedure, 37 year old Karima Gordon died after the silicone, that was injected into her buttocks, traveled to her lungs.
Stewart is accused of referring Gordon to Tracey Lynn Garner, an interior and floral decorator, who would inject silicone using veterinary syringes and sealed the injection sites with cotton balls and glue in her Mississippi home. Stewart told Gordon that Garner was a registered nurse and when Garner began to feel sick Stewart told her that if she were to seek medical attention, not to tell doctors that she had the shots.
This is what happens when you’re more worried about making a quick buck instead of the well being of other people.
A sentencing date has not been set but Pebblez faces up to 20 years in prison.
