Theresa Fischer, a former German Celebrity Big Brother contestant, paid a whopping 5,000 for a procedure to lengthen her legs by 5 inches.


The 31-year-old model, who is well-known for her presence on the show, said she was motivated to undertake the treatment by her former partner, which required cutting her shins and inserting telescopic rods to gradually lengthen her legs, as per Daily Star.


 

At the time of the procedure, Theresia was 24 and 5’6” tall. She now has conflicting feelings about the procedure's long-term repercussions, which left her with bruises all over her legs.



Theresia told MDR Jump in an August interview that she was pressured by her ex-boyfriend to have the surgery after he said, "You know I love big ladies, so I'd really like to see you get up to 14 cm more." She added, "He said, 'You can't do anything, you need me,' and if you're told that 20 times – then you think you're nothing."



The surgery left Theresia over 6 feet tall and she said she sometimes feels “shame” at having changed her body so much.


She added, “I'm ashamed because I agreed to an operation that I shouldn't have. I've never had to deal with this before because I've never been unhappy with my body.


”



In the interview, Theresia described the intense procedure, saying that her shins had been deliberately broken and her calf muscles had been split. “The shin bone was broken cleanly,” she said, “and a telescopic rod was used in each case.”



The rods in her legs then help her legs lengthen over time by allowing her to stretch her lower legs independently. She explains that she holds her knee in one hand and screws her foot inward with her other hand until she clicks. She adds 10 clicks on each side each day for an extra 0.5 mm (0.02 inch).



Although she regrets undergoing this life-altering procedure at such a young age, Theresia had a very different view of it in 2019. 



She lauded the effect it had on her sexual life, stating she was more flexible with her legs and had more room to move around in bed as a result. "I'm happy and content with my legs now," she said, "but I'm constantly bombarded with hate on the internet. It really hurts me."



Theresia added, "I finally found myself and was able to overcome my old trauma of being bullied."

The 'luckiest man in the world' who survived death and won the lottery twice

Image
Featured Image Credit: 9News Your chances of winning the lottery are tiny, roughly one in 45 million, so it is doubtful that any of us would win a large fortune in our lifetime. However, trucker Bill Morgan won the lotto twice. Bill's heart stopped for 14 minutes in June 1998, but he was miraculously revived by physicians. He wasn't out of the woods just yet, as he ended up in a coma for over two weeks. After being engaged in a terrifying vehicle incident, Australian Bill was proclaimed 'clinically dead' by health specialists, yet he outperformed expectations. Bill was out and about one day when he decided to purchase himself a scratch card and was happy to learn he'd won a brand new car - a Toyota Corolla worth $30,000. When word spread of his dramatic reversal of fortunes, a Melbourne television station called Bill to tell his story. While filming the feature, the 9News Australia TV crew requested him to duplicate his victory with a new scratch card, which he duti...

He's a man who doesn't take things lightly, and his most recent financial decision was reportedly to spend $850,000 on palladium and platinum teeth. And the oddest part of all?

Dog says ‘hello’ in ‘English accent’, leaving people people baffled

Dog says ‘hello’ in ‘English accent’, leaving people people baffled Featured image credit: Jam Press/Tik Tok @fuggersandcompany Dogs have long been known for their cleverness, but a chihuahua has apparently reached a new level of intelligence, as it can speak' with a British accent.  Of course, most dogs are trained to bark when their owners tell them to ‘speak’, but this isn’t your typical woof. It’s a sophisticated, well-chosen delivery of the word ‘hello’, as if it’s coming out of the mouth of a well-dressed university professor. But the amazing thing is that the word doesn’t come from a professor, but rather from a dog named ‘Fuggers’. You heard me, didn’t you? In the video below, Fuggers shares her greeting with her owner, Shana Gilbert, who lives in Bedford, UK. The video begins with Fuggers fidgeting, as if she’s trying to get Shana’s attention. She wags her tail and shuffles along the floor, but then stops dead in her tracks as she decides that words will have more impact....
