Karen Mulder ARRESTED For Plastic Surgeon Attack

First Posted: 7/31/09 Updated: 5/25/11

Karen Mulder was arrested in Paris on Tuesday for repeated verbal telephone assaults on her plastic surgeon.

According to the Daily Mail, Mulder, 39 (or 41 depending on the source), is believed to have freaked out when her surgeon refused to reverse an unnamed procedure the former Victoria's Secret model had had done.

A detective said: 'She was screaming and shouting about the operation and became extremely threatening.

'There were repeated calls to the female surgeon who was extremely scared. The suspect is being interviewed.'

Mulder was arrested at around 10am and is being kept in a cell in the eight arrondissement, the epi-centre of Paris haute couture.

Mulder, who was a top model in the early 90s, later suffered depression and anorexia and was hospitalized in 2002 following an overdose. Since her recovery, she gave birth to a daughter in 2006 and returned to the catwalk in 2007 for a Dior show. She has also modeled for Yves Saint-Laurent, Chanel, Valentino, and Versace in the past.

Unless she had her skull re-shaped, that's a distorted '09 picture.
Round out her face a little more, and she's still looking pretty good.

That's really sad that a victoria secret model is so insecure that she needs surgery and she becomes anorexic. If she's only 41 that's still young enough to look good if you eat right and exercise. She was lucky to have had a healthy child after being anorexic but she couldn't see past her issues to realize that. Sad, Sad, so very sad.

I would never guess that was the same woman. And the woman on the left doesn't look bad! But honestly, never in a million years would I guess it was the same person. I have no clue what she's done.

Eye lift for sure and possibly some work around the jawline.

Have you ever seen a "good" eye lift? They all wind up looking like a startled Lucille Ball. (Although, I loved Lucy!)

If she was actually taken to jail, I guess you could assume that what she said to the plastic surgeon involved some pretty serious threatenin­g?

Just a little perspectiv­e... that before photo was taken about 15 years before the after photo.In that lifestyle culture, lots of premature aging occurs. Women her age are subjected to extreme age bias in her profession­..

That's really a shame. She was such a beautiful woman before. Just plain freaky now.

No, poor MJ was freaky. Karen Mulder just looks like any number of overly-scu­lpted women.

The unnamed procedure apparently was a head-narro­wing.
New version of old joke: Karen Mulder walks into a bar.... The bartender looks up and says, "Why the long face?" (Hint: substitute "a horse" for "Karen Mulder".)

I'm not sure what the lawsuit is about. I do know that women become "addicted" to "procedure­s." Maybe after a dozen of them, realizing you're still getting older anyway....

Some men are just as adicted to it.. Look at Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, MIckey Roarke, Michael Douglas etc...

Lets face it society is geared for young woman not past 30. In fashion it is not past 20. A distinquse­d woman does not exit in our lexicon. the result is these plastic surgery freaks..
