'Botox Mum' Story A Hoax

Sheena Upton claims she made the story up in a bid to make money and said in Court that British tabloid The Sun gave her $200 to pose as "Kerry Campbell" and read a script for the story "I Give My 8-Year-Old Daughter Botox.

She says she then appeared on "Good Morning America" and "Inside Edition" for an additional fee.

On the show, appearing as Campbell, Upton told horrified viewers that she gave her daughter, Britney, Botox and waxed her bikini area to give her an edge in beauty pageants. She claimed that she was licensed to give the injections herself.

After viewers were left outraged and called authorities, Britney was removed from her mother's custody which has now prompted Sheena Upton to admit the lie to try and regain custody of her daughter.

"The truth is that I have never given my daughter Botox, nor allowed her to get any type of waxing, nor is she a beauty pageant contestant," she wrote.

To further prove her case, Upton said her daughter was examined by a doctor at UCLA to show that she'd never been injected with anything.

The Sun have denied they had any knowledge that they paid her to tell the made up story for money."The Sun strongly denies any suggestion it solicited or knowingly published a false story regarding Kerry Campbell and her daughter. The article was published in good faith, in common with a large number of other news organizations around the world, after being received in full from a reputable UK news agency," the paper said in a statement.

In the statement, a reporter claimed they watched as Upton injected her daughter with what appeared to be Botox, adding that the paper was considering legal action. ABC also issued a statement saying that they had no idea she was making the story up.

"We have just seen the sworn declaration on TMZ written by Sheena Upton, a.k.a. Kerry Campbell and are vigorously investigating her most recent statement and rapidly shifting story," an ABC spokesperson told TMZ.com.

As the media companies scramble to deal with the latest Botox bombshell, Upton wrote she regretted being involved in the alleged hoax in the first place.

"I realize now that, at the time I made a bad decision to accept the role in the story for The Sun, and I regret my participation," Upton wrote in the deposition. "The implications have been severe for my family as well as my daughter and myself."
