Mary Magdalene was widely known for her dramatic cosmetic surgeries and for openly documenting both the physical and emotional consequences of those choices. She previously made headlines after one of her 38J breast implants ruptured, leaving her with what she and her followers referred to as a “uni-boob,” an experience she later said prompted a shift in perspective, as reported by TMZ.

In a February 2023 interview with TMZ, Magdalene said she began undergoing plastic surgery at 18 and likened her pursuit of extreme procedures to being an “adrenaline junkie.” After her implant accident, she described having a spiritual awakening and moving toward a more “natural” look, later undergoing a costly breast reduction.

Beyond cosmetic surgery, PEOPLE reported that Mary Magdalene had over 400,000 followers across multiple social media accounts.
