News emerged Monday of a Florida woman who had surgically added a third breast, but rumor-busting site Snopes is calling her bluff.

Jasmine Tridevil, 21, made headlines after publishing images of herself with three breasts, claiming that she underwent the surgery to make herself “unattractive to men.”

Snopes reveals that the domain JasmineTridevil.com is owned by Tampa-area masseuse Alisha Jasmine Hessler. On Hessler’s business page for Alisha’s Golden Touch, she lists “massage for three-breasted women” and “provider of Internet hoaxes since 2014” as her two specialties.

In addition, the two women bear a striking resemblance.

Any attempt to contact the doctor who is responsible for the third breast is a dead end, as Tridevil claims to have been ordered to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

However, some in the medical field are offering their expert opinion, disputing that any surgeon would ethically perform such an operation.

Scot Glasberg, the president-elect of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, told the Daily Mail that this breast “enhancement” surgery “violates every ethical principle not just in surgery but in medicine as well.”

“We look to enhance the norm,” stated Glasberg. “This is not the norm.”

Monday was not the first time the woman has made headlines. In December 2013, she purported to have carried out her own form of justice after being beaten by a man on her way home from a nightclub. She later had the man sit at a busy Florida intersection wearing a dunce cap and holding a sign that read, “I beat women.”

She didn’t file a formal complaint with the police, and when they tried to pursue the matter, she stopped returning their calls.

In March 2013, Hessler was arrested in Florida for the fraudulent use of personal information.

On Sept. 23, Tridevil posted a statement on her official Facebook page concerning some, but not all of Snopes’ allegations.

“Everyone keeps sending me this snopes article. Why?,” said Tridveil. “Yes, they have my real name. Yes, the news story last December is true, and yes, I was arrested for using someone elses (sic) i.d. (attempting to get in a club). I was underage and wanted to get drunk lol.”
