R&B Singer and reality TV Star K. Michelle is making big moves in 2018, or smaller moves depending on how you look at it. The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star recently shared on The Real daytime talk show that she is getting her butt enhancements removed. Her reasons for getting them and reasons for removing them are interesting and heartbreaking all at the same time.
Talking to radio morning show, Ebro in the Morning, Michelle said her insecurities as a black woman led her to alter her body drastically.
She confessed that she did not appreciate her skin tone and fuller lips enough.

She shared, “I had a big a$$. I already had one. It was insecure. I was like, ‘I want a big a$$, I want some titties, I want some teeth. This is what I wanna do.’ I just did it. It felt good. It was a temporary bandage on some issues with me, and it felt good at the moment. Now I just want to be me, who my mama made me.”
Not only is she getting back to herself, it her implants and butt enhancement shots are not affecting her health.
"For me, I've always been open. I've always been curvy, but it was never enough," Michelle confessed to The Real. "I thought, 'I'm having trouble with men, right now and maybe if I had a big ol' huge butt, then I'd get bigger love.' So that's what I did. I did butt, I did hips. Now I'm to the point that I've been tired of it for years, and now it's affecting my health."

"It's the point where the aching and the pain that made me get checked for lupus, now it's due to my legs. My butt is so big that my legs are not holding it."
"People don't talk about it. I've gone to doctors who don't want to touch it. I've found one doctor who is going to do it for me. But imagine if you don't have the money to get it out?"
But she brings up a great point. Many women like K. Michelle get the implants or the shots, and then find out, it's not at all what it's cracked up to be, but then need to get it out. And it's sometimes even more money to get the implants out.
"So you've got these butt shots and you don't have any money to get it out of you. They don't tell you about that. So now, January 12, 2018, I am removing these foreign objects out of my body."
A supporter applauded her honesty and went on to say: “Pretty sure everyone knew her butt was fake but I respect her for admitting that she did it due to insecurities and now she is having it removed.”
If you remember, earlier this year, K. Michelle announced her battle with lupus.
“I was devastated for 2 weeks…but my body was tired, my mind was just beat down. My [follow-up] results from the doctor came again as a dormant or negative. So, I fell 2 my knees to praise.”
And K. Michelle is not alone. It has been estimated that lupus affects 1.5 million Americans, and millions more worldwide.
Lupus is an unpredictable and misunderstood autoimmune disease that ravages different parts of the body. It is difficult to diagnose, hard to live with and a challenge to treat. Lupus has a range of symptoms, strikes without warning, and has no known cause and no known cure. Its health effects can range from a skin rash to a heart attack.
The majority of people with lupus—90 percent—are female, and most first develop signs and symptoms of the illness between the ages of 15 and 44. As adults, far fewer males than females develop lupus.
