A curvy influencer has rejected an offer to parade for a samba school at this year’s carnival because her bum is so heavy she cannot dance.
Juju Ferrari – who boasts 4.8 million followers on Instagram – has a whopping litre (1.8 imperial pints) of filler in her buttocks.
She told media in Brazil: “I had a procedure on my bum three years ago and got fillers three times.
“The first time, the doctor didn’t tell me exactly what the substance was, but I presume it was industrial silicone.
“The second was with a well-known person, who was recently sued.
“She used hydrogel, from then on it was game over, the two products ended up mixing.
“I can’t dance samba because of the product that’s still in there, it gets in the way and it’s super heavy.”
Juju, 36, also told how she had a gold thread lift to keep her bum pert. She said: “These days I use PDO threads for support.
“These threads pull the muscle tight and support the weight of the bum, which tends to sag.”
But Juju still hopes to be able to parade at next year’s carnival. She said: “If all goes well, next year I’ll be back and with my bum impeccable.”
Juju – whose real name is Juliana Valeria da Silva – hails from Osasco, Sao Paulo State.
She unsuccessfully ran for a seat in Brazil’s lower house – the Chamber of Deputies – for the centrist Avante party last year.
Bizarrely, one of her campaign promises was free penis enlargement surgery.
She has a bachelor’s degree in law.
