Celebrity and plastic surgery… Some hide it, others embrace it.
For a multitude of reasons, cosmetic procedures and body modification have been on the rise. From more advanced techniques allowing for better results, to the beauty standard created by social media, more and more people have been turning to surgery and injectables to alter their appearance. But at SixSurgery Clinic, we know that nothing has changed the perception of plastics quite like celebrities.
Topic’s like Kim Kardashian’s rumoured Brazilian Butt Lift, Bella Hadid’s rhinoplasty, and Cardi B’s breast augmentation have been the subject of discussion in many of our consultations with patients. As the tastemakers of the cosmetic industry, their influence has caused people to consider going under the knife for various reasons. One of the most common procedures that we see patients bringing in celebrity “wish pics” for is the breast augmentation. Whether it is speculation or confirmed, people are obsessed with finding out how celebrities achieve perfect cleavage, lift, and curves. Spoiler alert: it is almost always surgery.
A breast augmentation is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. This is achieved by inserting silicone or saline implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscles. The procedure can address various concerns, including improving shape and symmetry, achieving a more proportionate figure, or simply boosting self-esteem.
In the realm of Hollywood and glamour, the quest for perfection often leads celebrities to explore various cosmetic procedures to enhance their aesthetic. Among these transformations, breast augmentations have become one of the most popular choices for stars seeking a curvier physique. We’re delving into some celebrities who openly discussed breast augmentations, and others who have been rumoured to have gone under the knife.
Here are some celebrities that may (or may not) have boob jobs:
Kate Hudson Before and After Breast Implants
Type: Very Natural
Kate Hudson, the beloved Hollywood actress known for her radiant beauty and free-spirited personality, has long been the subject of rumours regarding a very natural looking breast augmentation. While she has never confirmed these speculations, many believe that if she did choose to undergo such a procedure, it was done with an impeccable level of subtlety, maintaining her very low maintenance, natural appearance. This potential breast augmentation sparks discussions about the artistry of cosmetic procedures that can enhance one’s confidence without overwhelming their frame. We’d guess that if Kate were to have gone under the knife, the implant she selected would be a low or moderate profile, in order to add just the right amount of curve.
Cameron Diaz Before and After Boob Job
Type: Very Natural, Low Profile
Cameron Diaz, celebrated for her slender and athletic physique, has always been in the spotlight for her remarkable talent, as well as her jaw dropping good looks. Over the years, eagle-eyed observers have noted subtle changes in her bust size, sparking curiosity about a potential breast augmentation. While these changes might be attributed to factors like weight fluctuations or fashion preferences, the mystery of whether Diaz underwent a discreet breast augmentation procedure remains unsolved. Diaz, who is always an enigma when it comes to her personal life, has chosen to keep her cosmetic decisions private. She has never addressed the topic of breast augmentation in public discussions.In a world where Hollywood’s beauty standards often clash with the concept of natural beauty, Diaz’s possible choice would be a success story for patients who are looking for a subtle increase in volume expertly fitted to their frames.
Blake Lively Before and After Breast Implants
Type: Very Natural, Moderate Implant to Add Fullness
While Blake Lively has managed to avoid discussing the topic, rumors about a possible breast augmentation have swirled around the actress for some time. These speculations have never been officially confirmed, but Blake has been known for incredible cosmetic surgery. In the early stages of her career, Blake Lively underwent a rhinoplasty procedure, which is often praised as one of the most naturally executed transformations in the entertainment industry. If Lively were to have indeed undergone a breast augmentation, there’s no doubt that she would have entrusted the same level of finesse and subtlety to the procedure, much like her rhinoplasty.
Kylie Jenner Before and After Boob Job
Type: High Profile, Round and Fake Look with a Focus on Volume and Cleavage
Kylie Jenner, the reality TV star and makeup mogul, has finally broken her silence on her long-speculated breast augmentation. She has put to rest many years of denial where she attributed her curvier figure to miracle products. In a candid moment on her reality show, she confessed to having had the cosmetic surgery, a decision that she now looks back on with regret. What makes this confession even more profound is that Jenner discovered she was pregnant only 6 months after the procedure, leading her to urge young women to wait until after having children to make such life-altering choices.
Kylie’s admission serves as a reminder that decisions about cosmetic surgery are deeply personal and should be made with full awareness of their potential consequences. While we at SixSurgery don’t recommend all patients wait until after children to undergo cosmetic procedures like breast augmentations, we don’t recommend it for anyone looking to start or grow their family in the near future as childbirth changes your body in many drastic ways.
Kaley Cuoco Before and After Breast Implants
Type: Natural look with gentle sloping
The beloved “Big Bang Theory” star, Kaley Cuoco, took a bold step by openly sharing her breast augmentation journey. Cuoco made the decision to get breast implants at the age of 18, around the time she was starring on “8 Simple Rules”. She wanted to enhance her self confidence and has said that is “the best decision she’s ever made”. By speaking out about her experience, she sends a message of self-acceptance and the empowerment that can come from embracing change.
Iggy Azalea Before and After Breast Implants
Type: Large
“I think, in 2016, people should be more accepting of the fact that both famous and non-famous women are having cosmetic procedures. That’s just the reality. And I think more people need to admit that — so it doesn’t have to be so taboo — because we’re all doing it anyway.” — Iggy to Elle.
Iggy Azalea’s decision to undergo breast augmentation stemmed from her desire to achieve the hourglass figure she had always envisioned. Azalea explained that she felt more comfortable embracing her body’s natural curves while aligning her appearance with her personal aesthetic goals. In an interview with E, she said “I love them so much I had to talk about them…I’d feel better not to have some secret. It’s much freer to say it and then you don’t have to worry someone will dig it up.’
Megan Fox Before and After Breast Augmentation
Type: High Profile, Round and Fake Look with a Focus on Volume and Cleavage
Megan Fox’s jaw-dropping allure and striking figure have left many in awe, but they have also fueled ongoing conversation about the role cosmetic procedures have played in achieving her perfect appearance. While Megan has been denied cosmetic enhancements, recently, rumors have surfaced suggesting that she may have chosen to have her implants redone to add even more volume.
It’s not uncommon for patients to have a change of heart regarding their implant size over time. Lifestyle changes, personal preferences, and evolving aesthetics often play a role in these decisions. In Megan Fox’s case, if she does in fact have implants, it appears that she may have opted for larger ones recently to achieve a more pronounced and eye-catching cleavage.
Victoria Beckham Before and After Breast Implants
Type: High Profile, Round and Fake Look with a Focus on Volume and Cleavage
Fashion icon and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham opened up about breast augmentations, plural. It is public knowledge that she has breast implants, but she has since discussed the fact that she has gone under the knife multiple times to resize and reshape her breasts. She said in an open letter to herself, “I should probably say, don’t mess with your boobs… All those years I denied it — stupid. A sign of insecurity. Just celebrate what you’ve got.”
Holly Madison Before and After Breast Implants
Type: High Profile, Round and Fake
Look with a Focus on Volume and CleavageFormer “Girls Next Door” star Holly Madison has insured her surgically-enhanced breasts for $1 million. The ex-playmate took out the insurance policy with Lloyd’s of London to protect her assets in case of an accident or injury. Madison said she decided to insure her breasts because they are her “most prized possessions.” The insurance policy covers Madison’s breasts in the event of loss, damage, or disfigurement due to an accident or intentional act. The policy also covers the cost of reconstructive surgery if her breasts are damaged.
Madison is not the first celebrity to insure her breasts. Other celebrities who have insured their breasts include Pamela Anderson, Dolly Parton, and Christina Aguilera.
Tara Reid Before and After Breast Implants
Type: Fake Look
“American Pie” actress, Tara Reid, openly discussed her regrets about botched breast implants. She reveals that she initially sought surgery due to uneven breasts and sagging skin. However, the outcomes were far from what she had asked for from her surgeon. Instead of the requested B cups, she received larger C cups, leading to bumps around her nipples. The disastrous results caused public embarrassment, with dress mishaps and negative comments from tabloids and boyfriends alike. While reconstruction surgery was painful, it restored her self-confidence. Reid’s story is a testament to the fact that researching the procedure and finding a qualified surgeon are the best ways to ensure you’re satisfaction with the procedure. If your plastic surgeon doesn’t understand what you’re looking for – find another surgeon.
Heidi Montag Before and After Breast Implants
Type: Fake Look
Reality star Heidi Montag is known for her extensive series of cosmetic procedures, including a breast augmentation. Her story ignited conversations about body image, self-acceptance, and the fine line between self-improvement and going to extremes. In recent years, Montag made the decision to replace her size F breast implants with C cups due to discomfort and back pain. This is one of the many risks associated with extra-large breast implants that plastic surgeons should warn their patients about. Like many women who choose a size too large for their frame, Montag ultimately had to make the decision to prioritize her comfort and safety.
Each celebrity’s breast augmentation journey reveals a unique perspective on transformation, self-image, and the profound impact cosmetic procedures can have on one’s physical and emotional well-being. These stories emphasize the importance of informed decisions, individual choices, and understanding that each person’s journey is deeply personal.
While celebrities often showcase their transformations, it’s crucial to remember that the images we see might not always reflect reality. Photoshop, lighting, and filters can contribute to an idealized portrayal that doesn’t necessarily match real-life results. It’s essential to maintain realistic expectations when considering any cosmetic procedure
Sean Kingston sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for fraud scheme after making three-word plea to police
Sean Kingston cried as the verdict was read out in court
Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison after he was found guilty of a series of crimes that allowed him to obtain over $1 million worth of goods.
The mother and son duo were found guilty of wire fraud charges through a scheme that allowed them to swindle money and goods from car dealerships, multiple banks and a mattress firm.
Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, cried as the verdict was read out at the Fort Lauderdale federal court back in March.
He also issued a three-word plea to the authorities as Turner was taken by US Marshals into federal custody.
Kingston’s mother was sentenced in July (Broward County Sheriff’s Office)
The rapper – who rose to fame for his 2007 track ‘Beautiful Girls’ – simply said ‘protect my mother’.
Turner was sentenced to five years in prison and three years’ probation in July, while Kingston and his lawyers requested the judge to consider home confinement because of the non-violent nature of the crime and due to the fact he had paid most of his victims back.
However, the judge ignored such request and sentenced Kingston to over three years behind bars.
They were seeking payment of damages for breach of contract and fraud after Kingston ordered a 232-inch Colossal TV and a sound system for his home.
To get a cheaper deal on the mega $111,000 purchase, Kingston allegedly promised to make promotional material about the TV alongside fellow singer Justin Bieber.
Ultimately, the commercials were never made, and Bieber was at no point involved.

In court earlier this year, victims of the scheme testified and stated that Kingston and his mother had defrauded them out of a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade, a Colossal TV and hundreds of thousands of dollars in watches.
Previously, the pair were successfully sued and ordered to pay over $300,000 in two separate fraud cases.
In 2015, Kingston and Turner were ordered to pay $356,000 after they were accused in a New York City federal court of failing to pay a customized watch seller.
And just three years later, they had to shell out $301,000 to a New York jeweler who claimed they had scammed them out of nine luxury items.
Superman actor Terence Stamp dies aged 87 as family release emotional statement
The Oscar-nominated actor has tragically passed away
Actor Terence Stamp, who most famously played Superman villain General Zod, has died at the age of 87.
The family of the one-time Oscar-nominated actor confirmed his death in a statement issued this morning (August 17).
His family issued the following statement: “He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come. We ask for privacy at this sad time.”
The cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
Stamp, of Stepney in London, won a Golden Globe back in 1963 for ‘Most Promising Newcomer’ following his performance in the hit film Billy Budd.
Speaking about the beginning of his career, Stamp said: “The great blessing of my life is that I had the really hard bit at the beginning because we were really poor.”

In 2019, he featured as Malcolm Quince in Murder Mystery, a Netflix production that starred Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston – who respectively played a New York cop and his wife.
Incredibly, Stamp’s on-screen career spanned across seven decades – from 1960 until 2021, but when he first told his parents he wanted to pursue a life in acting, it didn’t go down too well.
Speaking about it with The Hollywood Reporter back in 2013, he said: “This was so private this, this desire, this wish – it was like I thought that I would kind of dissipate it if I spoke about it somehow.
“But when we got our first TV, I started commenting – it was a way of letting my family know. I started saying things like, ‘oh I could do that’, ‘I could do better than that’, and my dad wore it for the first few times and then he said, ‘son people like us don’t do things like that’, and I went to protest and he said, ‘son, I don’t want you to talk about it anymore’.
“Now in retrospect he was trying to protect me from something that to him seemed beyond impossible, and then that gave me the energy, and of course I had to leave home because I couldn’t really go against my dad – and that’s when I won the scholarship to the Webber Douglas Academy.”
Before finding his way in front of the camera, Stamp worked at theaters in London, England. His big break came when he was cast as Billy Budd in the film of the same name.
Chris Martin EXPOSES Gwyneth & Andy Byron’s Secret Deal to Ruin Him
Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal Explodes Into Hollywood Power Play: Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Andy Byron in a High-Stakes Feud
What began as a fleeting viral moment at a Coldplay concert has spiraled into a sprawling saga of betrayal, corporate collapse, celebrity intrigue, and personal vendettas — with Chris Martin, his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, and ousted tech CEO Andy Byron at the center.
The infamous Kiss Cam clip — once written off as an awkward, meme-worthy distraction — now appears to have been the spark for something much bigger: a calculated campaign that insiders claim was designed to damage reputations and settle old scores.
🎥 The Kiss Cam That Lit the Fuse
Two weeks ago, Coldplay took the stage at a sold-out stadium show. During the band’s lighthearted Kiss Cam segment, cameras landed on Andy Byron, then-CEO of billion-dollar tech startup Astronomer, and Kristen Kitt, the company’s Chief People Officer.
The problem? Both were married — but not to each other.
As the jumbotron lingered on them, Chris Martin quipped to the crowd:
“Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.”
The audience erupted. But by the next morning, the internet had weaponized the clip, turning Byron into a trending topic — and his wife into a woman bombarded with DMs and sympathy messages. Astronomer’s board demanded answers.
💥 From PR Crisis to Personal Vendetta
Rather than admit wrongdoing, Byron reportedly grew furious — blaming Coldplay and Chris Martin for “ruining his life.” What most didn’t know at the time, however, was that Gwyneth Paltrow — Martin’s Oscar-winning ex-wife — was already moving behind the scenes.
Within days, Paltrow appeared in a slick, tongue-in-cheek Astronomer ad posted to the company’s social media. The video showed her speaking to Astronomer’s 300+ employees, making light of the incident while positioning herself as their advocate.
To casual viewers, it was playful. But sources close to Martin saw it differently.
“Gwyneth knew exactly what she was doing,” one confidant told us. “She’s strategic, and this was her way of hitting Chris where it hurts. She’s been bitter since the divorce settlement — this was her revenge play.”
🧩 A Pattern of Control and Payback
Those close to Paltrow allege she’s always been adept at shaping narratives to her advantage. Raised in Hollywood privilege by actress Blythe Danner, Paltrow cultivated an image of sophistication — but also a reputation for being ruthless when crossed.
Former partners Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck have been on the receiving end of post-breakup barbs. Former Goop staffers describe her as “erratic” and “punitive,” comparing her management style to Ellen DeGeneres’ notorious talk show environment.
Now, with Goop weathering mass resignations and accusations of toxicity, Paltrow appears to be leaning harder than ever into her public persona as a master manipulator — and, some say, a disruptor who knows how to leverage the spotlight.
🤝 The Byron–Paltrow Alliance
The alleged alliance between Byron and Paltrow is, according to Hollywood insiders, as strategic as it is personal.
Byron, ousted from Astronomer and facing public humiliation, saw in Paltrow a celebrity ally capable of reframing his downfall. Paltrow, for her part, found in Byron an opportunity to undermine Chris Martin’s wholesome public image.
Behind closed doors, sources claim, Paltrow’s team worked with Byron’s advisors to craft a sympathetic narrative: portraying him as a victim of “public shaming,” “privacy violations,” and “celebrity cruelty.”
⚖️ A Lawsuit With No Legs
Byron even attempted to sue Coldplay and Chris Martin for emotional distress and invasion of privacy, claiming the Kiss Cam moment had “turned him into a meme” and “destroyed his reputation.”
Legal experts were unimpressed.
“You have no expectation of privacy at a public concert,” says employment attorney Ron Zambrano. “You’re consenting to being filmed when you buy a ticket. This lawsuit was dead on arrival.”
The judge agreed, dismissing the case outright. But by then, Paltrow and Byron had already used the legal noise to keep the story alive in headlines.
📰 Media Manipulation and Public Spin
With the help of sympathetic outlets, the Byron–Paltrow narrative began to take root. Opinion pieces questioned the ethics of Kiss Cams, reframing Byron not as an executive caught in an affair, but as a victim of modern “surveillance culture.”
But others weren’t buying it.
“If you cheat on your spouse in front of 60,000 people, you’re not being spied on — you’re being watched,” says media lawyer Cameron Dowlet Shahi. “There’s a big difference.”
📉 Astronomer in Turmoil
While Byron plotted his counterattack, Astronomer reeled from the scandal. The board moved quickly to remove him, but not before employees described a “toxic” and “fear-driven” environment. The decision to feature Paltrow in a corporate ad — widely perceived as mocking the incident — only deepened the internal rift.
One former staffer called the culture “Ellen 2.0,” adding:
“When leadership treats something this damaging like a joke, it tells you exactly where their priorities are.”
🛑 Paltrow’s Own Empire Under Fire
Meanwhile, Goop — Paltrow’s lifestyle brand — is battling crises of its own. Multiple executives, including its CFO and CTO, have left in the past two years. Former employees accuse Paltrow of fostering an erratic, retaliatory workplace culture, where dissent is met with swift consequences.
“People tiptoe around her,” said one ex-staffer. “If she feels crossed, she’ll take action against you. It’s scary.”
🎯 The Real Targets — and Collateral Damage
While celebrity watchers relish the drama, the true casualties of the Kiss Cam saga are those caught in the blast radius:
Astronomer’s rank-and-file employees, left scrambling after their CEO’s implosion.
Byron’s family, whose private heartbreak has been made global.
Coldplay fans, who just wanted a night of music without becoming part of a cultural firestorm.
For Chris Martin, the episode has been a sobering reminder that even playful onstage banter can be weaponized when personal history is involved.
📝 Final Thoughts — A Viral Moment With a Very Long Tail
The entanglement of Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Andy Byron is more than a salacious celebrity feud. It’s a study in how quickly a viral moment can be hijacked, spun, and escalated into a high-stakes battle over image, ego, and revenge.
The Kiss Cam clip was the spark — but what followed has been a carefully orchestrated blaze, fanned by old grudges, opportunistic alliances, and a media environment hungry for spectacle.
As lawsuits fizzle, PR strategies backfire, and reputations fray, one truth remains: in the rarefied world of the rich and famous, the fight for control of the narrative can be as vicious — and as public — as the scandal that started it.
In this case, revenge isn’t just a dish best served cold. It’s a headline served viral.
If you’re having doubts about whether a partner is being faithful, here’s one sign to keep an eye out for
Getting cheated on is a horrible experience for anybody, and if it’s happened to you, you might now be keeping an eye out for any strange behaviors.
Whether you’ve opted to stay with a cheating partner and are worried they’ll do it again, or are cautious about dating someone new, it all still hurts the same.
Many people post on social media asking for advice about what to look for or any key clues that they’re being unfaithful.
It’s normal to try and make sense of what’s happened, but ultimately it’s up to the person in question to decide if they can be faithful or not.
One expert has shared some advice about one of the more surprising signs of infidelity that you may not have thought of.
Sure, everybody knows to be wary of new numbers on a phone or if your partner starts hiding their devices, but there’s something more subtle you might miss.

When was the last time you paid for something with cash?
In an increasingly digital world, many of us use the wallet on our phone to store card details, or just tap a debit card when paying the cashier or out for dinner.
However, for obvious reasons this keeps a log of what you spent, when, and where, and especially if you and your partner share a bank account, it’s much more noticeable.
Cassie Crofts runs a private investigator agency and regularly shares advice on what to keep an eye out for on TikTok.
In one of her videos, she warned: “This is the number one sign of cheating, that everybody misses!”

Cassie continued: “We’re basically a cashless society these days, so if your partner has always been about tap-and-go, using a credit card for reward points and suddenly starts doing ATM withdrawals – that’s a breadcrumb worth following.
“Cash doesn’t leave a trail.”
She added: “If they go to a restaurant and spend $200, you can be pretty sure they weren’t dining solo. But $200 cash withdrawal? You’ve got no idea what happened.”
While it could be totally innocent, if your partner suddenly starts making cash a habit, you might want to double check why.
Withdrawing large sums of cash could be a red flag (Getty Stock Image)
Catherine De Noire said many clients end up needing to go to an ATM, explaining: “The first thing is that a lot of guys don’t carry enough cash. So then they go and withdraw money from an ATM, which is usually somewhere near the brothel or inside the brothel.
“This is very suspicious, especially when you see that your partner withdraws a lot of money at 4 am in the morning in this area, and the account is a shared one.”
Hopefully, you won’t be spotting any sizeable cash withdrawals from the bank anytime soon.

Victim’s girlfriend among 9 South Carolina teens arrested in 16-year-old’s murder, alleged set up
Nine teenagers in South Carolina were arrested in a plot to lure a 16-year-old boy to his death, and even the victim’s own girlfriend was in on the murderous scheme, according to authorities.
Trey Dean Wright, 16, was found dead on June 24 with multiple gunshot wounds on First Neck Road in Florence County, roughly 45 miles west of Myrtle Beach, Fox News reported.
Devan Scott Raper, 19, of Conway, is accused of fatally shooting Wright in an argument over a girl and was arrested the following day by the Florence County Sheriff’s office.
But officials said Raper didn’t act alone.
In the weeks since, eight other teens have been nabbed for their alleged roles in the dark scheme and are now facing charges for setting up Wright and recording his death on video — including the poor victim’s girlfriend.
Giann Kistenmacher, Wright’s 17-year-old girlfriend, was charged with being an accessory before the fact for bringing Raper — who she knew was armed — to meet Wright and instigate a confrontation, the sheriff’s office said.
Others charged in the set-up included 18-year-olds Corrine Belviso and Hunter Kendall and 17-year-old Sydney Kearns.
Authorities have not released information on the four remaining individuals who have been charged in the crime because they are minors.
“They were complicit in bringing the armed codependent, Raper, to the incident location and knowing that there would be a confrontation,” Maj. Michael Nunn of the Florence County Sheriff’s Office told WBTW-TV.
One of the suspects was Wright’s girlfriend, according to his mother.gofundme
“They had issues with each other, and it was over a female,” Sheriff T.J. Joye told WBTW.
“The sad thing is, you got a 16-year-old that lost his life. You’ve got a 19-year-old who is going to be in jail the rest of his life. Over what?” the sheriff asked rhetorically.
Raper faces charges of murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime and is being held without bond.

Kendall is also being held without bond, while Belviso and Kearns each posted $20,000 bonds last week and have been released pending a trial.
Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal Blows Wide Open as Astronomer Insider Leaks Explosive Details About CEO Andy Byron’s Alleged Affair With Kristin Cabot
Just when the Coldplay Kiss Cam scandal seemed like it couldn’t get any juicier, a bombshell leak from inside Astronomer Inc. has taken things to an entirely new level. A former employee of the tech powerhouse has come forward anonymously, sharing alleged internal documents, screenshots, and insider information that suggest the now-viral kiss between CEO Andy Byron and media strategist Kristin Cabot wasn’t just an awkward concert moment — it was the carefully orchestrated debut of a long-brewing affair.
And yes, you read that right: Kristin Cabot — the estranged wife of billionaire entrepreneur Andrew Cabot — may have been involved with Byron for months before the scandal erupted publicly.
💥 The Spark That Ignited It All
It was supposed to be a night of music and celebration. Coldplay’s SoFi Stadium show was packed with energy, lights, and fans. During the show’s traditional Kiss Cam segment, the camera zeroed in on two VIP guests in a private suite: a brunette woman cozying up to a dark-haired man. They kissed. The crowd cheered.
But the internet? The internet went to work.
Within hours, social media had dissected the clip, revealing the woman to be Kristin Cabot. At first, the man was unidentified. But now, a whistleblower says he was none other than Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer Inc. — and the man who just lost his marriage, his job, and his standing in the tech world in the span of a week.
🕵️ Who is the Whistleblower?
An anonymous former Astronomer employee, going by the alias “StellarDropout,” has taken to Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) with what they claim are receipts. In a now-viral thread titled “You Have No Idea What Went Down at Astronomer HQ,” they allege the affair had been going on for months before it exploded into the public eye.
The thread includes:
Internal calendar screenshots showing late-night “strategy sessions” between Andy and Kristin
Alleged Slack messages between team members mocking the obvious favoritism
Blurred security photos of Kristin entering Astronomer HQ well after business hours on multiple occasions between April and June
One Slack message attributed to a senior engineer read:
“If Andy schedules one more 11PM ‘strategy sync’ with Kristin, I’m out. We’re not dumb.”
If legitimate, these screenshots point to a workplace affair hidden in plain sight — and one that now threatens to destabilize the company from within.
💣 The Fallout for Andrew Cabot
Perhaps the most unexpected twist in this scandal is the involvement of Kristin’s husband — billionaire investor Andrew Cabot. Just 24 hours after the Coldplay clip went viral, Cabot filed for divorce. While some assumed the move was swift, sources now suggest it was premeditated.
“Andrew may have known more than anyone gave him credit for,” said one insider. “Once he confirmed the man in the video was Byron, it all clicked.”
And that would explain his icy, surgical response. No public drama. No interviews. Just action.
Now, rumors swirl that Andrew is considering legal action of his own — not for personal reasons, but for business. If it’s proven that Astronomer resources or time were used to facilitate a personal relationship that harmed his wife’s reputation and his own investments, a civil lawsuit could be next.
🔍 Damage Control at Astronomer
Since the leak, Astronomer Inc. has gone into full containment mode. Sources inside the company say all references to Kristin Cabot have been scrubbed from the website. Her “brand strategy” partnership was removed from the About Us page with no formal explanation.
Internally, meetings have been moved off calendar, emails are being carefully worded, and PR consultants have reportedly been hired to triage the growing backlash.
“It’s panic mode,” said one anonymous staffer. “No one knows what’s safe to say anymore.”
Andy Byron, meanwhile, has yet to issue a formal statement. But his resignation from Astronomer was confirmed last week, and multiple employees report that his executive suite has already been cleared out.
🧠 A Pattern of Power and Privilege?
While high-profile workplace relationships are nothing new, what sets this scandal apart is the public exposure and the layers of influence and privilege involved.
Kristin Cabot wasn’t just an employee — she was a strategic partner, a public figure, and the wife of a billionaire. Andy Byron wasn’t just a CEO — he was known for his clean image, polished leadership, and aggressive expansion of Astronomer into one of the hottest startups in the data analytics space.
That’s why this story has legs — because it’s not just about a kiss. It’s about what that kiss revealed: how powerful people hide relationships in plain sight, how companies enable that behavior, and how a single viral moment can unravel years of built-up public trust.
🔮 What’s Next?
If “StellarDropout” is to be believed, we’re just getting started. The whistleblower has teased a follow-up post within 72 hours, promising more screenshots, emails, and perhaps even video footage from inside Astronomer HQ.
Meanwhile, rumors swirl about potential consequences:
Legal action from Andrew Cabot
A formal investigation into misconduct at Astronomer
Kristin being dropped from upcoming projects and brand deals
A civil suit involving potential misuse of company funds
Coldplay, for their part, has declined to comment beyond a short statement from a representative saying they had “no idea” who was on camera and that “the Kiss Cam is always random.”
Chris Martin, ever the gentleman, addressed the issue vaguely during a recent concert in Atlanta:
“We try to bring people together with love. Sometimes we do it a little too well.”
📌 A Kiss That Changed Everything
In Silicon Valley, where secrets are currency and power is protection, scandals like this are usually kept behind boardroom doors. But this time, a Kiss Cam blew the lid off everything.
It exposed a workplace affair. It destroyed marriages. It sparked resignations. And now, with insiders spilling receipts, it may lead to legal and financial consequences for everyone involved.
Whether Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot planned the kiss as a soft launch for a hidden relationship—or were simply caught in a reckless moment—doesn’t matter anymore.
Because the world saw it. The cameras were rolling.
And thanks to one anonymous whistleblower?
They still are. Stay tuned. This is far from over.
The 47-year-old’s rise to fame began in 2002 when WWE signed him, and he garnered attention from viewers for his charismatic persona and impressive in-ring abilities.
He debuted on WWE’s flagship show, SmackDown, with his famous character, Doctor of Thuganomics.
Over the next two decades, Cena became one of the most prominent figures in the show’s history.
In recent years, he’s broken into Hollywood, starring in roles such as Fast & Furious 9, Bumblebee, and The Suicide Squad.

One fan writes: “I really admire John Cena for being brave enough to speak out about his experience.”
“His openness can help encourage others to prioritize their health,” another adds. “Thank you for sharing this important message.”
“This is heartbreaking; [it] goes to show that no matter how healthy you are, cancer doesn’t discriminate,” a third person pens.
Cena’s health announcement comes after being the new face of Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Mineral Face Liquid Sunscreen SPF 70, an invisible, lightweight sun protector.
He stars in the campaign, titled ‘Sunscreen You Can’t See,’ which pays homage to the WWE legend’s days in the ring with his famous ‘You Can’t See Me’ hand gesture.
The video also features dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon Dr. Neera Nathan alongside Cena, who highlights the importance of using sunscreen daily.

In an interview with People, the Daddy’s Home actor revealed the campaign is very close to his heart.
“I grew up in a small town next to Newburyport and Salisbury Beach. The Massholes call it the North Shore,” he explained. “Some of my earliest memories of summer are of small carnivals and people walking the beachside.”
Cena also shared that he never wore sunscreen as a child – with his mother raising five boys, it was never a main priority. Back in 1977, there was also not as much emphasis on the importance of sun protection.
In his early twenties, the WWE star moved from New England to Florida, where he ‘fell in love with the sun,’ but admits he ‘neglected’ his skin.
“I was stubborn. I didn’t want to have a routine, and I also thought the problem would never reach me. And it’s one of those things where I had a ton of exposure with minimal protection, and it caught up with me,” Cena said.
Neglecting his skin led the star to a diagnosis: “It wasn’t until I went to a dermatologist and got a skin checkup and had a cancerous spot removed from my right pec.”
Cena remembers the devastating call: “You got to come back in.”

The 47-year-old says he is ‘very lucky’ to have a great dermatologist; he adds that the stats for skin cancer are ‘overwhelming.’
In the U.S., an estimated 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, and approximately 9,500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every day, as per The Skin Care Foundation.
The A-lister adds: “I think the best way to hammer home a point is human-to-human connection. And I, as a human, can tell you: Man, that phone call’s not what you want to get because it is unpredictable, and you don’t know how bad it’s going to be.
“A year later, I went back and had another spot removed close to my right shoulder. It shows up like a white polka dot on the side of my chest and on my shoulder. If you watch WWE, you’ll be able to see them.”
Cena is now advising people to protect themselves from the sun and that applying sunscreen should be part of their daily routine, just like ‘brushing your teeth.’

With plastic surgery, the possibility of changing one’s appearance is tempting — but desired results aren’t always guaranteed. Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure, and nearly 300,000 operations were performed in 2022 alone, according to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Chrissy Teigen and Heidi Montag have both had breast work done multiple times; other celebrities like Ashley Tisdale and Tamra Judge have even experienced health scares after getting breast implants. From regretting their decisions to going through with “explants,” one thing’s for certain: Many stars would’ve done things differently if given the chance.
See who else has shared hard feelings about their breast implants and who has opted to remove them altogether.

In August 2022, Rhylee Gerber shared via her Instagram Stories that she would be undergoing an explant procedure and documented her entire journey.
On the morning of her big surgery, Gerber said, “I am tired of the inflammation. I am tired of the random, sharp pains … and I’m tired of bloating for no f—— reason.”

Danica Patrick

In an April 2022 before-and-after Instagram post, Danica Patrick revealed she “wasn’t sure” if she was ready to share her experience, “but then I remembered that true vulnerability is sharing something you’re not really ready to. So here it is.”
The former NASCAR driver explained that she got her breast implants in November 2014, “because I want to have it all.”
“I was really fit, but I didn’t have boobs. So I got them,” she added. “Everything went well, and I was happy with them.”
In early 2018, though, Patrick started noticing her hair “was not as healthy and was breaking off,” and she started gaining “a few pounds and had no luck losing it.” Her problems only increased from there, and in late 2020, “the wheels came off,” she said.
“I had cycle irregularity, gained more weight, my hair wasn’t looking healthy at all and my face was a different shape (weird I know),” Patrick said. “So I went down the rabbit hole to figure it out. I did every test that could be done.”
Those symptoms led Patrick to have her implants removed.
“Within hours after surgery, this is what I noticed — my face had more color and less dark circles (no food before the second pic), my face started producing oil again, I could take a 30% deeper breath into my chest already, and I had so much energy when I woke up (and surgery was at 2:30 p.m.),” she wrote alongside the photos above.

Mena Suvari opened up about removing her breast implants in her 2021 book, The Great Peace: A Memoir. Explaining the decision, the American Beauty actress said she felt compelled to make a change as she worked through her past traumas, including sexual and emotional abuse, having initially gotten the augmentation during that difficult time as a “distraction.”
In the years that followed, “I would catch myself so many times realizing, ‘I have these bags in my chest.’ And I didn’t have that connection as to why I truly did it. There was a lack of appreciation on my part,” Suvari told PEOPLE in 2021 of realizing she was unhappy with her body. “So I just sort of felt like, ‘Who am I and what am I doing?’ I had gone to this extent, to such extremes, looking for this identity.”
Admitting she was nervous before the three-hour procedure, the star said she felt free when she woke up and saw the implants on a side table as she was wheeled to the recovery room.
“Wow, there they are,” Suvari recalled herself thinking. “It was wild. I put those in there.”

Clare Crawley

In July 2021, Clare Crawley revealed that she planned to remove her breast implants after experiencing numerous health concerns.
Crawley said that she’d privately dealt with a multitude of mystery symptoms at the time, including an itchy rash on her upper body and elevated white blood cell count.
“My skin has been having really bad hives and rash. My whole body is just inflamed and itchy. I’ve had blood test after blood test. That is not my only symptom,” she said. “It’s so frustrating.”
The reality star said that mammograms and an ultrasound showed sacs of fluid behind her implants. “As much as I love my implants, my body is fighting them and recognizes it as something obviously foreign in my body,” she said.

Judge revealed in a June 2021 Instagram Story that she was getting her breast implants removed due to “autoimmune issues.”
“Bye bye bye boobies,” the Real Housewives of Orange County alumna wrote over a topless photo of herself, snapped at her pre-op appointment with longtime plastic surgery Dr. Milind Ambe of Newport Surgical Center, aptly choosing the *NSYNC song “Bye Bye Bye” to play alongside the post.
Judge went on to ask her followers to share their own explant stories, revealing in response to one of them that she’s looking forward to getting her health back on track.
“I can’t wait!” the mother of four wrote. “Tired of being tired and inflamed.”

Hayley Hubbard

The podcaster explained that she wanted them removed out of concerns about the uptick in breast implant illnesses (BII), an emerging syndrome occurring in people with implants that can cause symptoms ranging from chronic fatigue to breathing problems to depression and hair loss, among others.
“I got mine removed because I had a textured gummy bear silicone implant, which they are not putting in people’s bodies anymore,” she said on her Instagram Story. “At the time when I got mine, they were the latest, the greatest, the most natural ever. Now they’re not. So that’s why I was just like, ‘I want to get them out.’ “
“I don’t know that I was feeling badly; I’ve been pregnant for three years, so it could’ve been a number of things,” she added. “But just the anxiety of having them in my body was not worth it, and I wanted a more natural look.”

Kayla Lochte

Kayla Lochte, wife of swimmer Ryan Lochte, had been struggling with a long list of health problems for years — everything from memory loss to depression, suicidal thoughts, bladder issues, swollen lymph nodes, vision issues and low libido — that led her to seek out help from multiple doctors in search of a cause. After a litany of tests, medications, treatments and therapy sessions, it became clear that she likely had BII and needed to have her implants removed.
So, on March 10, 2021, the Playboy model underwent a successful surgery to remove her implants, though doctors discovered a worrying issue.
“Surgery went well,” she told followers on her Instagram Story. “I wasn’t able to keep my implants, I wanted to take them home with me, but they think that — well, both of them were deflated, one more than the other, so they think that they were possibly leaking inside of me, so they have to send them back to the manufacturer.”
Lochte said she immediately started to improve once her implants were out. Doctors noticed that the dark circles under her eyes were gone, and her skin tone looked better, “which is just so crazy,” she said.
“It’s insanity, how much it was affecting me and how sick they were making me,” she shared, urging followers with implants who aren’t feeling well to consider getting an explant too.

Ashley Tisdale

Tisdale opened up on Instagram in August 2020 about her decision to get her breast implants removed, citing “minor health issues that just were not adding up” such as “food sensitivities as well as gut issues … that I thought could be caused by my implants.”
“So, last winter I decided to undergo implant removal,” the High School Musical star explained.
“This journey has been one of growth, self discovery, self acceptance and most importantly self-love,” she continued. “This picture above was taken two months after my explant surgery and I think you can tell just how happy I am to finally be fully me.”

Melissa Rycroft is “officially a member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee again,” she wrote on Instagram. Rycroft announced on July 14, 2020, that she had her breast implants removed, sharing a photo of herself in the hospital after the surgery.
“Implants are OUT,” the Bachelor alumna wrote.
She explained that after previously undergoing reconstructive surgery, one of her implants “refused to settle right (even after reconstruction),” so she decided it was time to take them out for good. “My body was telling me they didn’t want these implants in!” the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader said.

Chrissy Teigen

Teigen opened up to Glamour UK in 2020 about getting breast implants when she was 20, sharing that she was motivated by her modeling career. “I thought, if I’m going to be posing, laid on my back, I want them to be perky! But then you have babies and they fill up with milk and deflate and now I am screwed,” the Cravings cookbook author explained, “I had a quarter ‘teardrop’ cup in the bottom and filled out the breast line. But I want them out now.”
Just a few months later, the now mother of four announced that she was following through on that decision. “I’m getting my boobs out!” she wrote on Instagram. “They’ve been great to me for many years but I’m just over it. I’d like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort! No biggie!” she added. “So don’t worry about me! All good. I’ll still have boobs, they’ll just be pure fat. Which is all a tit is in the first place. A dumb, miraculous bag of fat.”

In the cover story of Working Mother‘s June/July 2019 issue, Ayesha Curry opened up about making “a rash decision” to get a breast augmentation after welcoming her second child, daughter Ryan Carson, in order to combat “a bit of postpartum … [that] came in the form of me being depressed about my body.”
The Full Plate cookbook author explained that her “intention was just to have them lifted” but she ultimately ended up “with these bigger boobs I didn’t want.”
“They’re worse now than they were before,” Curry said at the time, adding that, while she “would never do anything like that again,” she remains “an advocate” for other women to make their own choices about what works for them and their bodies.

After breastfeeding her two children for 18 months each, Gisele Bündchen decided to discreetly go under the knife to correct what she felt were smaller, uneven breasts than she had pre-baby.
“I was always praised for my body, and I felt like people had expectations from me that I couldn’t deliver,” the supermodel told PEOPLE in 2018. “I felt very vulnerable, because I can work out, I can eat healthy, but I can’t change the fact that both of my kids enjoyed the left boob more than the right. All I wanted was for them to be even and for people to stop commenting on it.”
But in her 2018 memoir,Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, the supermodel said she instantly regretted the move. “When I woke up, I was like, ‘What have I done?’ I felt like I was living in a body I didn’t recognize,” she said. “For the first year I wore [baggy] clothes because I felt uncomfortable.”
After removing her breast implants in 2015, Melissa Gilbert told PEOPLE in 2018 that it was “one of the smartest things I’ve ever done.” The actress continued to stay on the natural track, eventually giving up on Botox and dyeing her hair as well.
Her perspective on aging changed when she fell in love with her husband, Timothy Busfield. “Through his inspiration, I found the courage to just be me,” she said, deciding to “age gracefully and appropriately and let my body and my face become whatever they are going to become.”
Gilbert also had her implants removed because she worried about them leaking as she got older. “What am I going to do when I’m in my 80s and I have to have a hip replacement but I also have my breast implants replaced?” she said. “Because it’s inevitable, they have a life span. So I wanted them out.”

Crystal Hefner, wife of late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, underwent surgery in June 2016 to remove her eight-year-old breast implants after claiming they caused her aches, bladder pain, brain fog and fatigue. The model and deejay explained her health status on Facebook, saying she was deeply affected due to the implants, which she said had “slowly poisoned” her.
“Instantly I noticed my neck and shoulder pain was gone and I could breathe much better,” Hefner wrote following the implant removal procedure. “I know I won’t feel 100% overnight. My implants took 8 years to make me this sick, so I know it will take time to feel better.”

The Kardashians are known for being open about almost every aspect of their lives, so it was no surprise when the eldest Kardashian sibling, Kourtney, spoke about getting breast implants at age 22 on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. “I had my boobs done, but if I could go back, I wouldn’t have done it. I was so cute before,” she told Showbiz Spy in 2011, per the Daily Mirror. “I’ve realized that I was made to look a certain way and I’m considering removing them.”

After undergoing 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day and unveiling her new look in a 2010 issue of PEOPLE, Montag — who once described herself as “beyond obsessed” with fine-tuning her look — underwent breast augmentation three years later, downsizing from size F breasts to size D.
“I would never do it again and I never recommend it for anyone,” the Hills star told Access Hollywood in 2012, as reported by Today. “I kind of wanted a few enhancements and then it kind of got out of hand. I wasn’t told really the repercussions and what would happen, emotionally and psychically and the pain I would be in. I was kind of in shock.”

As a vocal Lyme disease activist, Yolanda Hadid used her celebrity on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to raise awareness about the invisible illness, as well as showcase her search for a cure.
After discovering that her breast implants had been leaking, the mother of supermodels Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid decided to get the implants removed, citing a possible link to her ongoing health crisis.
“We might have hit the jackpot by finding all this silicone from a 20 year old implant rupture through ultrasound mapping as shown in this selfie,” she wrote on Instagram in August 2015. “Thank you [Dr. Feng] for holding my hand and leading the way.”

Although Pamela Anderson is known for her curvaceous figure, she revealed getting breast implants was her No. 1 cosmetic regret.
“Not that we need to point it out,” the Baywatch star said, rolling her eyes toward her chest in a 2016 W magazine interview. She famously underwent surgery to remove her implants in 1999. “It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and I’m very happy with my decision,” she shared following the procedure, per the Chicago Tribune.

Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling got candid about her breast implants in a 2011 Good Morning America interview. “I got my boobs done in my early 20s, and if I had known it would or could possibly impact production of [breast] milk, I would never have had them done,” the now mother of five said. Spelling would eventually get her implants removed following a doctor consultation in 2014, which was documented on her reality show, True Tori.
In 2022, the Beverly Hills, 90210 star announced she would be getting her breast implants replaced. “I got them when I was really young. And I didn’t know that at a certain point they would have an expiration. I didn’t know that you would have to do it again,” Spelling told E! News. “It really hit home for me when my daughter came to me and she’s like, ‘Mom, I’m concerned. You have put this off. You told me for years now that you need to get your boobs redone.’ “
After years of putting it off, the actress said she was scheduled to undergo the procedure on Feb. 27, 2022.

While Victoria Beckham is relatively private, the Spice Girls alumna and fashion designer didn’t remain quiet when asked about her augmented bustline. “I don’t have them anymore,” she told Allure in 2014, after being shown an old photo of her that included ample décolletage. “I think I may have purchased them,” she explained, adding: “Or they got removed, one or the other.”

What started out as a dream for Heather Morris eventually turned into something she could no longer stand.
“Implants were something I thought I wanted when I was younger, and now I don’t,” the Glee alumna told Fitness magazine in 2011, per HuffPost. “It was hard being active with them, because my chest was always sore. It hurt a lot, and I didn’t like always being in pain, so they had to go!”

Karen McDougal originally decided to get breast implants in 1996 to boost her self-esteem, but seven years after the procedure, McDougal started having thyroid and adrenal problems, developed severe allergies, and began getting sick constantly.
“I would get sick every couple of months and be sick for six to eight weeks at a time,” the former Playboy model told PEOPLE in 2017. “It just never went away.” She would eventually attribute her symptoms to her breast implants, which led to her decision to get them removed.
“It took me 20 years to get ‘poisoned,’ so it’s not going to be an overnight process,” McDougal shared, adding that she immediately began feeling better after the surgery. “I still have to go through a detox process to get rid of all the toxins in my body, but it’s definitely an improvement. I feel like I can actually live and enjoy life now.”

Kimberly Holland, another former Playboy model, decided to get her breast implants removed after a friend of hers had her own bout with BII.
Holland initially got breast implants in 2004, but she didn’t experience any issues until she got them replaced with silicon “gummy bear” implants in 2012.
“I just wanted them out,” Holland, who developed Raynaud’s disease after getting her first set of implants replaced, told PEOPLE in 2017. “I didn’t want to waste any more of my time or my health. There was no point in waiting. I have a son who’s a toddler — I need to be around and be healthy.”

SZA shared in March 2024 that her family’s history of breast cancer prompted her to get explants. “When I got my boobs done, my doctor took out some of my fibrosis, but … there was so much fibrosis, it was crazy,’ ” the “Kill Bill” singer said. “And he took it out. And so, when I went back, a lot of the concerns were gone.”
The musician, whose mother and aunt were both diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent mastectomies, said she wasn’t supposed to get breast implants due to the markers she had in her breasts for her fibrosis.
“So basically, I put them in. They ended up hurting me,” SZA explained. “I got way too much scar tissue because my breasts are too dense and I’m not supposed to have breast implants. And so I ended up getting extra fibrosis like with tissue, whatever, and I didn’t feel good and it was painful. So, I took them out, and now, they’re just my boobs.”

Kylie Jenner got emotional reflecting on her past surgeries during the season 3 finale of The Kardashians in 2023. On the episode, the businesswoman opened up about regretting getting her breasts done at 19 before becoming pregnant with her daughter, Stormi, and that she’d be “heartbroken” if Stormi ever decided to get cosmetic surgery at that age.
Similarly, on an earlier Kardashians episode, Jenner addressed rumors of her having low self-esteem when she was younger motivating her decision to go under the knife. “One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I was this insecure child, and I got so much surgery to change my whole face, which is false, I’ve only gotten fillers,” Jenner said. “I feel like I don’t want that to be a part of my story.”

Playing Summer Quinn on Baywatch in the ‘90s wasn’t at all what Nicole Eggert expected it to be. She shared as much in an exclusive January 2024 interview with PEOPLE wherein she reflected on her insecurities about her body while playing the lifeguard, which required her to wear bathing suits regularly.
“All the girls worked out and were super tiny and fit and I was like ‘Whoops.’ And the one-piece bathing suits were not flattering. I didn’t want to wear it at all,” said Eggert, who, at 18, decided to have breast implants when the show took a break from filming.
“I regret it now, of course,” she admitted. “I look at all these younger girls doing it and think, ‘God, leave your bodies alone!’ But when you have to put on that one-piece and it’s like you’re so flat that it’s like pleating — you got pleats across the front … you’re like, ‘What is this?’ Nothing you can do.”
American Woman Who Claims To Be Madeleine McCann Has DNA ‘Proof’
An American woman from Arkansas has made the shocking assertion that she is actually missing child Madeleine McCann.
The woman is insisting she possesses ‘DNA proof’ to support her claim; however, her statements have been widely dismissed by experts and the public alike.
Eugenea Collins launched an unusual social media campaign, alleging that she is the missing British child who vanished in 2007 while vacationing with her family in Praia da Luz, Portugal.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired Collins explained that she started suspecting her true identity after watching Polish woman Julia Wandelt appear on Dr. Phil’s talk show.
Wandelt had previously made similar claims about being Madeleine McCann, but these have ultimately not even been proven.
Collins said she noticed resemblances between herself and images of the missing girl, which fueled her suspicions.
“If it wasn’t for me seeing her on the Dr. Phil show, I would’ve never known. In a way, her stupidity actually helped me find my family,” Collins remarked.
“I saw the age progressions, and it was like I was looking in a mirror. I just know I saw pictures of myself online, and it says I’m missing.”
Collins was born on October 23, 2002, which places her close in age to Madeleine, who was born on May 12, 2003.
She took an ancestry DNA test, revealing she is 68 percent English and Northwestern European, which she believes supports her claim.
However, she acknowledged that no direct DNA link to the McCann family has been found.
Despite her assertions, Collins expressed frustration that Arkansas law enforcement has not taken her claims seriously.
She also mentioned attempting to contact Operation Grange, the Metropolitan Police Department’s unit dedicated to investigating the McCann case.

Collins’ claims have drawn skepticism from social media users and critics, who pointed out several inconsistencies.
One of the most significant differences between Collins and Madeleine is the lack of the distinctive eye defect that Madeleine had.
“Not to be rude here, but your eye doesn’t have that defect in it like she does,” one commenter noted.
“The reason I’m not convinced is because I don’t see the same spot on the eye in any photo,” another person added.
Addressing these criticisms, Collins argued that other differences, such as ear shape, could be explained by scars she has on her ears.
“People keep saying something about [my] ears not being a match, but I have scars on mine,” she stated.
“Never noticed them until they pointed out they were different. I had my boyfriend look at the back of them, and they have scars on them.”
Adding to her claims, Collins also alleged that the man she was raised to believe was her father, Eugene Collins, closely resembles Christian Brueckner, a convicted pedophile and the primary suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance.
“I saw pictures of the suspect, and he looks like my biological father or who I’ve been told is my biological father my whole life,” she claimed.
“I never had any relationship with this man whatsoever, and I was always told he was a little off in the head. When I first saw the photos of Christian Brueckner, I instantly recognized that man.”
Brueckner, identified as a suspect in 2020, has been convicted of multiple unrelated crimes, including child sexual abuse and drug offenses.
He is currently serving a prison sentence in Germany but is expected to be released later this year.

Collins also criticized Wandelt, who was recently arrested for harassing the McCann family. Wandelt previously appeared on Dr. Phil in 2023, maintaining that she was Madeleine McCann until DNA tests disproved her claims.
“I just know that my mom is looking for me, and I have always had this feeling of longing and loneliness my whole life, and I finally figured out why I felt that way,” Collins said.
“Especially after hearing that Julia stalker making her cry, saying she was her daughter. I heard that, and it broke my heart because I’m right here.”
Wandelt’s DNA results, analyzed by private investigator Dr. Fia Johansson, confirmed that she was fully Polish and had no connection to the McCann family.
Johansson stated: “At first, she didn’t want to believe the DNA results. She was saying, ‘What if someone changed the results?’ but I told her, ‘Stop this now.’”
While Collins remains steadfast in her belief that she is Madeleine McCann, experts and law enforcement have yet to take her claim seriously due to the lack of substantial evidence.
