Sheena Upton, ‘Botox Mom’: ‘I Don’t Even Know What Botox Is’ (VIDEO)
<p>In a trio of videos released late Thursday, Sheena Upton, the woman known as "Botox Mom," <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2011/05/19/botox-mom-kerry-campbell-sheena-upton-interview-harvey-levin-explanation-good-morning-america-the-sun/" target="_hplink">tells TMZ.com</a> that her story was scripted and the photos taken of her injecting her daughter with Botox were staged in a nail salon's waxing room. </p>
<p>Upton explains, "They told me to hold, like, a plastic — it was a medicine syringe, no needle, just the medicine syringe and act like I was just holding it up and bend down, so I did that. I asked what the story was pertaining [to], they said it's just a salon day with your daughter and that's it. [....] Later on is when I heard they used it as [a] Botox [story], which, honestly, I don't even know what Botox is."</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tmz.com/2011/05/19/botox-mom-sheena-upton-kerry-campbell-good-morning-america-never-checked-their-facts-story/" target="_hplink">In other clips on the site</a>, she says "Good Morning America" didn't fact-check the segment at all and that she was paid (albeit much less than she expected) by an outside company.</p>
<p>TMZ.com previously dug up a sworn deposition that Upton, who went by the name Kerry Campbell, participated in the stunt for the money. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/19/sheena-upton-botox-mom-hoax_n_864148.html" target="_hplink">Read about that, and more, here</a>.</p>

<p>On Friday, "Good Morning America" ran a segment including TMZ's videos and footage of the freelance journalist who wrote the original story for <em>The Sun</em>. She maintains that she saw Upton/Campbell inject her daughter twice with a Botox-like substance and that she saw Campbell's identification.</p>
<p>Michelle Cespuglio, a close "Campbell" family friend, who attended the "GMA" taping on May 12, said, "I was there for everything. We were all there. We all saw it." And "GMA" consulted a doctor who said that if Britney had Botox three months ago, as reporter Lara Spencer was told that she did, evidence of it wouldn't show up on a medical exam.</p>
<p>Spencer adds, "To be clear, just what this mother did or did not do to her child is still under investigation by Child Protective Services."</p>
