A young woman who shocked the internet with her shocking appearance – which she claimed was the result of botched plastic surgery to look like Angelina Jolie – has finally come clean: it was a hoax.
Sahar Tabar claimed to have gone under the knife more than 50 times in a bid to look like the smouldering A-lister, with results that looked more harrowing than Hollywood. But while many media organisations were suckered in by the story, Sahar has admitted that she faked the whole thing – and the clues were there all along.
While it is unclear what made the 19-year-old Iranian come clean, it certainly seems likely that the harassment that came along with her brief online fame played a part, as the teen has since changed her Instagram to private.
Tabar told Russian news outlet Sputnik that she doctored the nightmare-inducing photos as a way to ‘amuse’ herself. “Now I can see that I have something in common with (Angelina Jolie), but I amuse myself, and to look like someone is not my goal.”
But if amusing herself with practical jokes doesn’t work out for her, the teen may have a future in the cosmetic industry.
