Kim Kardashian's Fan Spent $30,000 To Look Like Star

A 24-year-old woman who apparently became obsessed with Kim Kardashian spent $30,000 (about N5million) to look like the reality star.

Claire Leeson, a resident of the Essex, England, admits spending an estimated $30,000 on breast implants, hair extensions, spray tans, makeup and clothing to emulate the 33-year-old star.

According to Leeson, the extreme measures she's taken to look more like Kardashian were done in an attempt to gain self-confidence after being bullied as a teen.

"I've had my teeth whitened, then I wanted my boobs enhanced ... and with pictures [of Kardashian] explained to my surgeon that I wanted to look like this," she said. "I also wear bum padding -- it's a silicone base. Pants with silicone inside."

Leeson says the pads "feel very real" but is planning on having surgery to increase the size of her backside, because "my bum is never going to be as big as Kim's is," the lady came out.

When the woman realized she resembled the reality star, Leeson decided to make herself look Kardashian in every aspect of life.

The wannabe look-alike admitted that she is in debt "up to [her] eyeballs" and has received threatening letters from creditors. Still, it's not enough to deter her from her dream of looking like Kardashian.

"I work, my job doesn’t pay enough … I’ve used credit cards to pay for everything. I’m in major debt. I say that I’m going to pay them but as soon as money comes in I just think about getting my Kimmy on," she explained, adding:

"When I get my Kimmy on I feel like I’m unstoppable and untouchable and I feel like no one can stop me and I can make something of myself. I feel strong … and I feel that I have built enough confidence to love myself a little bit more.”
