Florida woman, Jamine Tridevil, makes headlines over ‘third breast,’ TMZ says it’s fake
A Tampa woman who claims to have undergone plastic surgery to add a third breast is making the rounds on TV, radio and social media in an apparent attempt to score her own reality TV show. As quick as her fifteen minutes of fame arrived, TMZ was equally as fast to shoot down her claims.
Jasmine Tridevil, 21, has posted videos and photos of herself displaying her third breast in skimpy bikinis.
Tridevil posted on Sept. 17 that she was flying to New York to appear on Inside Edition the following Monday, then Jimmy Kimmel Live and Vice magazine among others.
However, Inside Edition’s website doesn’t indicate a connection with Tridevil and there are no published plans that have her as Jimmy Kimmel’s guest.
Snopes.com also reported that the jasminetridevil.com domain was registered by a woman named Alisha Jasmine Hessler. Records show that the website was registered on Aug. 7, 2014, at the Internet domain registrar website GoDaddy.com.
TMZ posted a photo from Tampa police involving a stolen bag. The incident at Tampa International Airport involved Tridevil and the inventory of her lost luggage reveal a ” A 3 breast prosthesis” valued at $5,000.
According to Snopes.com, Hessler is listed as the manager for “Alisha’s Golden Touch” on the small-business website manta.com. The business’ address is listed as East Morgan Street in Tarpon Springs, Fla., which is about an hour north of Tampa. The business listing also claims to be the “provider of internet hoaxes since 2014” and “specialist in massage for three breasted woman” in its About section. Hessler’s profile picture on her YouTube page bears resemblance to Tridevil.
Besides the hoax connection, Hessler was arrested and booked at the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office on March 14, 2013, on one charge of fraudulent use of personal information.
Hessler made headlines in December last year when she gave a man who attacked her the choice of being arrested or sitting at a busy intersection in Tampa for eight hours wearing a dunce cap and holding up a sign that read “I beat women. Honk if I’m a scumbag.”
“He’s doing it because he doesn’t want to go to jail,” Hessler told ABC affiliate WFTS-TV at the time.
In a recent interview with Real Radio 104.1 in Orlando, Tridevil, who says she is a licensed massage therapist, claimed the surgery cost $20,000 and required her to call between 50 and 60 doctors.
“They did have an issue with it and it was really hard finding somebody that would do it, too, because they’re breaking the code of ethics,” Tridevil told the radio show. “And that’s why he made me sign a non-disclosure agreement, because he’s afraid that he could get in trouble. Nobody wanted to do it.”
