British pop princess Kerry Katona had her breast implants removed on UK’s MTV last year, but hit headlines again last week when she placed one (autographed and all) on eBay apparently to raise funds for charity breastcancercampaign.org. While the 28-year-old’s intentions might have been honest, the 34GG fake filet caused too many legal issues for the world’s leading auction site.
“The implant was on eBay and I believe the idea was to raise money for Breast Cancer Campaign,” a rep for the charity said. “However eBay have now taken the item off because people were putting fake bids in, £8 million ($11.34 million US) at one point.”
But according to eBay it wasn’t bogus bidders that resulted in the item being removed, it was actually Katona who broke the rules.
“Our policy team weighed in and said that this auction was removed for the Charity Violation contained within the item description as there was no letter of written consent by eBay’s Office of the President to allow the item to be sold under our Charity guidelines,” an eBay rep told Tarts.
The famous female asset up-for-grabs was listed with the unsubstantiated and unauthorized caption “… any monies received by this auction will go to the charity Breast cancer campaign…” Katona initially announced the auction on her Facebook page and as it turns out she didn’t even inform the charity she planned to donate the funds toward. So was it all just a planned PR stunt by the “Atomic Kitten” and will she actually live up to her word and still use her plastic prop to raise money in another way?
“We have no idea what her plans are as it wasn’t something we knew about until we saw the media coverage,” the Breast Cancer Campaign rep added. “She isn’t someone we have been in contact with before so this story just appeared out of the blue. She has also just announced that she’s getting divorced so she’s probably got other things to worry about.”
A rep for Katona did not respond for comment.
