Jasmine Tridevil Claims to Have Third Breast From Plastic Surgery: Real or Hoax? (VIDEO)
Jasmine Tridevil claims to have a third breast in photos and on radio interviews, but some believe the publicity-seeking 21-year-old is faking it. Tridevil, from Florida, said that she underwent an expensive and dangerous plastic surgery procedure to have the breast placed between her two existing ones.
Jasmine Tridevil's claims came to light in an interview with Orlando radio station Real Radio 104.1. She said that she found a doctor who took skin from her abdomen and stretched it to make a third breast for $20,000 — of course, this couldn't be verified as she was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement and never reveal the plastic surgeon's name.
"I got it because I wanted to make myself unattractive to men," she said. "Because I don't want to date anymore. … Most guys would think [the extra breast is] weird and gross. But I can still feel pretty because if I wore makeup and cute clothes, I can still … feel pretty."

Recently, the Florida woman has been posting pictures to her social media pages seeking interviews and publicity. She claimed Monday that she was flying to New York to be on Inside Edition, and also reportedly paid people to film her daily life in hopes of making a reality show.
"Jasmine Tridevil is a woman who got a 3rd breast implant," she wrote on her Facebook page "[She] films her daily life in Tampa to show the struggles she faces because of her surgery."
However, Tridevil's claims have been shown to be dubious if not downright false. When she was interviewed by a local TV station, she would only show the third breast for a second before covering it up, saying that she would reveal more on her reality show. Websites have pointed out that in several of her pictures the breasts seem to be a different shade that the rest of her pale white skin.
In addition, Tridevil is almost certainly Alisha Jasmine Hessler, a massage therapist in Florida, according to Snopes.com and other sites. Hessler's website, Alisha's Golden Touch, says she's a "provider of Internet hoaxes since 2014." Even before that, when Hessler lost her luggage in Tampa International Airport in March 2013, she listed a "3 breast prosthesis" as one of the items stolen.
When reporters contacted Hessler's grandfather about the alleged third breast, he had no idea about any surgery.
"We don't know what to believe," Kenneth Hessler told Daily Mail. "We did not know a thing about this."
Ever since Tridevil has been exposed, she has disappeared from social media and turned down all interviews.
