- Heidi Montag told Access Hollywood‘s Billy Bush: “I almost died after my [plastic surgery] procedure. I had too much Demerol like Michael Jackson did… my breathing was five breaths per minute, which is like almost dead.” HOWEVER. Her surgeon says:
“That didn’t happen as far as I know.” Dr. Frank Ryan also denies that Heidi needed oxygen and it had some kind of an emergency. As for Heidi, she also told Billy: “I appreciate the science behind [cosmetic surgery]. We’re so advanced. If Cleopatra were alive now, I’m sure she’d have triple Ds.” Honey, just because YOU are completely fake doesn’t mean EVERYONE wants to be. There is no evidence Cleopatra wanted bigger breasts. There is evidence that she married her brother. Also, leave her out of this; you are not an Egyptian pharoah. [Access Hollywood]
