The woman who told Good Morning America that she injects her 8-year-old daughter Brittany with Botox to increase her chances of becoming a pageant queen now admits that she was lying the whole time. It turns out her name is reportedly Sheena Upton, not Kerry Campbell, and she claims she made up the Botox story to become rich and famous. After Brittany was taken away by Child Protective Services on Monday, she was examined at the UCLA Medical Center, where test results showed her to be Botox-free. Upton stated, "The truth is I have never given my daughter Botox, nor allowed her to get any type of waxing, nor is she a beauty pageant contestant."

She also says the lie wasn't even her idea, reports TMZ:

Upton claims she was approached by the The Sun [the British tabloid that broke the story] and asked "to play the role of Kerry Campbell" for a story called "I Give My 8-Year-Old Daughter Botox" ... After the story ran in The Sun, Upton says she was approached by "Good Morning America" and "Inside Edition" and claims she was offered "a large fee" to appear on camera.

Either way, this is still pretty effed up.
