'My Strange Addiction': 38KKK Sheyla Hershey Willing To Risk Life For Bigger Breasts (VIDEO)


First Posted: 02/20/2012 4:45 am Updated: 02/20/2012 5:07 am

Sheyla Hershey is in the Guinness Book of World Records, but even still she isn't satisfied. On "My Strange Addiction" (Sun., 10 p.m. EST on TLC) she talked about the 13 years and 22 surgeries it took to raise her from a B cup to her current breast size of 38KKK. But even this isn't enough. The way she describes it, after every surgery, she decides that she's ugly the way she is and needs to go larger.

After her most recent round of surgeries to increase her breasts to MMM, though, Hershey suffered severe staph infections and nearly lost her life, and did temporarily lose her breast implants, reportedly leading to severe depression and even suicide attempts. She did get her KKK breasts restored.

Somehow all of this no longer matters to her. She broke down in tears in her doctor's office wanting again to try and increase her bust size to MMM again.

"But I'm not happy with how they look right now," she explained. Every time her breasts are enhanced, she is satisfied only for a little while. Then she begins to feel they are too small and that she is consequently ugly.

She's already sacrificed the ability to tie her own shoes, jog or even hug her daughter normally. And she appears willing to risk her life to achieve happiness. But it appears that happiness will always be another cup size away.

See more unusual cases on "My Strange Addiction" every Sunday at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.

The size of the ladies breasts in the first story are just way to big. That is going a little overboard

Any doctor who agrees to perform another surgery on this woman should be arrested........This woman is ill and not of sound mind...but I am sure there are lawyers and judges (Breast men) who would support her in her efforts........

I believe several auto makers offer an optional mammary sensor that adjusts the front airbag for drivers who boast 38KKK or larger.

Body dysmorphia can turn a completely normal person into a superficial, reckless and insatiable idiot. I can testify to that. I never thought I was thin enough -- she never thinks her breasts are big enough. It's a terrible thing to look in the mirror every day and never be satisfied no matter how you appear.

First of all she is not thinking of gravity and second she can use them as floating device

Yes, how greedy are the doctors that would do this, especially to a person that is mentally unstable.

large breast are not going to fit her self-esteem issue. I think she needs to be court order in a day program that can teach her to cope with her issue in a healthy way and teach her self-esteem building skills

She needs a brain implant.

True, it's not her breasts that are too small, it's her brain.

You mean that figuratively, within reason when it comes to the brain it's not the size the matters LOL.

Her problem in not stupidity, her problem is a mental disorder, probably body dymorphic disorder. It's like being anorexic. She sees her breasts as too small and always will no matter how big they get. I can't believe those greedy plastic surgeons kept agreeing to operate on her. She should be seeing a psychiatrist and trying to get better.
08:56 PM on 02/23/2012
Great insight. I feel for her. i hope she gets the real help she needs
11:44 AM on 02/24/2012
Agreed. The plastic surgeons share equal blame.

Not every story needs a political response.

Either she mentally ill or she's a piece of trash. She's willing to risk her daughter having to grow up without a mom because her looks are more important.

I think she needs bigger breast implants. They're too tiny as is.
