Tameka explains how the experience changed her outlook on beauty standards...
From People
Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster is reflecting on the liposuction surgery that never happened.
The fashion stylist, 53, recently opened up to PEOPLE about a health scare in 2009 when she went into cardiac arrest while under anesthesia for liposuction.
“I never had it,” she tells PEOPLE of the cosmetic procedure. “I went in an attempt to have liposuction and I went into a cardiac arrest with the anesthesiologist. The doctor never even entered the room.”
Foster — who was married to Usher from 2007 to 2009 — admits that the medical emergency ultimately shifted her outlook on beauty after previously letting scrutiny and negative comments “get to me a bit” while she was married.
"I still care about looks and vanity, but I plan to do it the natural way. That's all. Totally,” she says. “It made me be a little less lazy about getting to my goals, and I just changed my diet and now I do intermittent fasting and things like that.”
“So I lost probably 20 lbs. before we started filming the show [Bold & Bougie]. In the past year, I've been really diligent about keeping my weight to a certain number,” she adds. “I mean, I go up and down, but yeah, I do care less about it. I'm not as anal about it.”
