After being savagely beaten in a gay bashing at the age of 19, which left him unconscious, 25-year-old Bobby says he has become addicted to getting plastic surgery and Botox injections to alter and enhance his appearance.
He was walking home on a Saturday evening with his boyfriend when they were attacked. CCTV cameras show the assault went on for 43 minutes, he reports in a Channel 5 documentary, Mascara Boys: Sex Me Up.

“All of a sudden these guys came out of nowhere, before we knew it the violence started,” he says of that night, Daily Mail Online reports. “We were trying walk away, then there were all these fists and all these feet. We were saying ‘stop, what are you doing?'”

“I think that shaped how I feel about my personal appearance,” he says.
“I have had filler, my Cupid Bow’s enhanced, my cheeks enhanced and my eyebrows tattooed on,” he said. “I love my Botox and I would love teeth veneers and hair transplant.”
At one point, he was ordered to stop having Botox injections for two years, as he was getting them so frequently that they began to form lumps in his skin, risking his health.
“He is addicted to Botox,” said his friend Louise, a beautician who oversees his Botox injections to make sure he doesn’t continue to harm himself. “At one point he couldn’t even cry. That frightens me to death to think that someone can get in that situation.”

“I want to look like the real life Ken doll,” Bobby says.
“I don’t think I could stop,” he adds. “Because what would I look like if I stopped?”

The botox is the least of his problems. This guy will end up being one of these alien looking people they show on those plastic surgery freak show programs if he keeps going.

I’m sorry for what happened to him. And I’m sorry for what society has done to him making him feel he’s entitled to media attention. But I feel most sorry for his brows, they are the real victim here

What difference would botox make to somebody in their early 20’s except to make them look frozen like one of the Real Housewives.

He clearly has issues from being beaten because he is gay. So, let’s just mock him.

I still don’t understand the connection of getting assaulted and addicted to Plastic Surgery. Sounds like the $ should’ve gone to mental therapy that he clearly needs.

He doesn’t need Botox and he certainly doesn’t need any more surgeries or procedures. He needs counseling.

Hey, I was f@g-bashed and I didn’t get addicted to Botox. But couldn’t he at least buy more natural-looking eyebrows? Those eyebrows look like Uncle Leo on “Seinfeld”.

@1898: Maybe it’s akin to me going out on a shopping spree when I get depressed. Doesn’t cure it but it sure takes my mind off of my problems for awhile.

And now he looks plastic like a mannequin

@Heywood Jablowme: fag bashed? Good lord. Where is the flag button, queerty?
Heywood Jablowme
@Baba Booey Fafa Fooey: I’m offended that it HAPPENED – I was hospitalized – but apparently you’re offended at the terminology? Very well then, GAY-bashed. Happy now? Jeez. Go clutch your pearls.

@Dave Downunder: Indeed. He probably would have had all the plastic surgery done anyway even if he was not bashed.

He looks ridiculous. Future gay suicide.

I’m sorry for this guy. He wants to make himself look handsome so he feels handsome and loved inside. Who doesn’t want to feel like this?
I’m disappointed that Queerty would make a story about this. Obviously he has some personal issues and this story, to me, appears to be taking advantage of his situation and making a mockery of it. Booo…

This is Queerty’s attempt to be a journalism site. Sadly—it’s another failed attempt.
