Cam-girl Courtney Barnes, 32, is an Economics graduate who decided to turn her back on the industry after finishing her degree — so she could make money showing off her 59 inch booty on social media.
According to MirrorUK, Courtney Barnes had decided to undergo three rounds of illegal butt shots six years ago at what’s known as a “pumping party” in the US.
She ended up with a much bigger behind than she expected, but the Internet star is now able to use her sizeable assets to her benefit.
Speaking on her entrepreneurial endeavour, the Economics graduate said:
“One thing that I did learn in economics is that it’s about having a product that people want – and my product is myself right now.
“I want to show men, women, and children that it is possible to be beautiful, smart, and have a big ass.”
Courtney, also known as Miss Miami, initially decided to have the illegal silicone injections after working as a dancer whilst studying.
She admired the curvaceous figures of other dancers and decided to enhance her own bottom using the dangerous black-market methods.
“It was a risk I was willing to take at the time and I was lucky not to have any complications. I was naive and I admit I didn’t know what I was putting in my body, but at the time a lot of women in Florida were getting it done and I found a local women who could do it.”
The injections regularly contain unknown substances as well as silicone, and are often administered by people with no medical expertise.
And if the substance is accidentally injected into a vein, it can cause death within minutes as the solution travels to the lungs. Courtney said:
“Many people ask me ‘are these injections dangerous?’ And the answer is yes.
“Even if it isn’t fatal immediately you don’t know how it is affecting your body. These are very dangerous products that are being injected.
“I don’t know for sure what they injected me with. But when I got it, she said it was like some hydrogel, some kind of silicone that they normally put in gummy bear implants.
“You don’t know how your body is going to react. It is still something foreign that’s in your body. It’s a gamble.
“A close friend of mine got it removed and she ended up having to have blood transfusions and she was in the hospital for months. It was a nightmare for her.”
Courtney, who was a regular on the Miami club scene, quickly became renowned for her sixty-inch bottom. And after pictures of her began to go viral, Courtney decided to monetize her online fame.
Now Courtney has 379,000 Instagram followers and is a successful model and cam-girl. But despite her lucrative earnings, Courtney says her huge posterior means that people don’t take her seriously and over-sexualise her.
“My career is fun but at the same time it is really difficult for people to take you seriously when it comes to certain businesses.
“I feel like having a really big butt or having really big boobs, you are completely over sexualized.
“People only want to buy something sexual from you and only want to consider you in that way but I actually have a brain and I’m very business-minded.
“People stare at me everywhere I go and not every reaction is positive. I feel like women are intimidated by me and men view me as a piece of meat.
“I’m actually quite a shy person and being looked at constantly can make me feel uncomfortable sometimes.
“Two times in my life I’ve had guys pumping gas at the gas station and they are watching me and they drive off with pump in their car. It’s crazy, they just lose focus.”
And as well as the negativity she feels due to endless stares and constant attention, Courtney admits her bum is starting to sag. She said:
“My butt does not sit up as much as it used to and I can see a little discoloration in the skin.”
Despite this, Courtney insists she will not have any further injections and although she loves her curves, she is considering getting her bottom reduced in the future.
