Good Morning America to Botox Mom: We're Canceling That $10K Check!
Today 9:37 AM PDT by Marianne Garvey

Botox Mom might not be cashing in on her bogus story.

A day after coming forward and saying she made up the tale of injecting her 8-year-old daughter with the wrinkle-removing concoction, Sheen Upton is getting stiffed herself—ABC says it won't be paying her the $10,000 the network's Good Morning America forked over to secure her first TV interview as a "photo licensing fee."

Here's where things stand in the sordid saga.

As we reported yesterday, Upton says she was paid $200 by the U.K.'s Sun tabloid to front a story titled "I Give My 8-year-old Daughter Botox." Upton, using the pseudonym Kerry Campbell, quickly got offers to repeat her tale on TV, first on GMA and then on Inside Edition. The GMA interview in particular created a buzzstorm and child services temporarily removed Upton's daughter from her care (she now has supervised custody).

Faced with potentially losing her child, Upton says she decided to come clean this week, offering a signed affidavit to TMZ and documents purporting to show she was given scripted talking points.

I wonder if the woman is backing out of the Botox story since her daughter was taken away. Better be a liar than abusing your kid sort of thing.

I read somewhere else that they have determined that she did not give her daughter botox. The child has also been returned, as long as her sister stays with her until the investigation is closed.
