A WOMAN who was born with a conjoined twin attached to her bum says that she has never had a boyfriend because of her condition.
Appearing on E! show Botched By Nature, Addie, 35, reveals that she’s
barely had a social life because of the deformity – let alone wanted to
be intimate with anyone before.
She decided to go on the shot in the hope that Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif can finally help correct it.
Addie’s mum also appears on the show, and reveals that she didn’t know she was even having conjoined twins until Addie was born.
She told the doctors: “I had an ultrasound and they didn’t see it. They just saw the one, healthy baby.
“So it must have been quite a shock when Addie was born and they suddenly scooped her away.
“They told me that it was a Siamese twin. But I never got to see it
because they always kept it wrapped. They wouldn’t let me see it.”
Addie goes on to disclose that her deformity wasn’t that much of a problem until she became a teenager.
She added: “When I got dressed for PE, the girls knew it. They
noticed me. They started teasing me and started calling me hurtful
names.
“The reason I’m so shy is because the bullying caused me to isolate
myself from everyone. I didn’t want to get hurt anymore,” she reveals.
“I’ve never really had a social life and when I dated it was more like a friendship. It was never an intimate relationship.”
Her mum adds: “I think it was because she was ashamed”, to which Addie emotionally admits to being true.
The doctors then tell Addie that they are hopeful they can help her.
While Addie says she would love to have a bum like Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez, Dr. Dubrow says that he can’t promise that.
He adds: “I really want to help Addie to look normal but when she
uses the examples of major celebrities who are known for that particular
feature it really makes me want to manage her expectations so that I
don’t disappoint.”
