Inside the turbulent life of surgery addict Mary Magdalene from strict childhood to botched ops as star dies at 33

TRAGIC model Mary Magdalene lived a turbulent life from her strict upbringing to several botched operations before she died aged 33.

The beloved influencer plunged from the ninth-floor balcony of a high-rise hotel just hours after arriving in Thailand for a one-night stay.

Cops found her flip-flops left behind in her room at the Patong Tower Hotel in Phuket on Tuesday, the Daily Mail reported.

Her body was found next to the hotel’s entrance at 1:50pm local time by police after falling from the high-rise building.

The shock tragedy came just hours after she mysteriously posted the closing scene from the film The Truman Show alongside a childhood picture of herself on social media.

In the scene, Jim Carrey‘s character Truman Burbank takes a bow before saying: “And in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night.”

The beloved star also changed one of her Instagram account’s username to “MaryMagdaleneDied”.

Mary, whose real name is Denise Ivonne Jarvis Gongora, first shot to online stardom in 2018 after getting an illegal procedure to create “the world’s fattest vagina”.

The surgery almost killed her – and she required two blood transfusions.

But before internet fame, the star had grown up in a strict, religious household in Canada where even Disney films were banned.

By 12, she had started to rebel and experimented frequently with drugs and alcohol.

At 17, she was working as a stripper and later started escorting.

Mary’s obsession with plastic surgery began at 21 with a botched breast job in Mexico.

From there, she flew across the globe chasing bigger implants, nose jobsBBLs, and more – splashing out more than £380,000 on procedures.

She racked up nearly half a million followers online thanks to her catalogue of extreme plastic surgeries and love for going under the knife.

In May this year, she had her eyeball tattooed a neon green – but the excess yellow ink began leaking and “clumped” in the corner of her eye, leaving surrounding skin stained.

The model also decided to get her entire body inked in black-out tattoo, which she claimed left men swooning.

Her arms and older inkings are also covered in the black-out tattoo.

The star sparked fresh concern last month when she was spotted on a drunken rampage on Koh Phi Phi island in southern Thailand on November 20.

Mary started her own YouTube channel as a platform to host discussions about her procedures, society’s beauty standards and views on plastic surgery.

In a seven minute YouTube clip, Mary once said: “People are fascinated, confused about my body.

“I don’t know, I really like surgeries, I like plastic surgery it’s one of my hobbies.”

She continued: “To me it’s interesting that people find it so interesting.”

But Mary insisted she wasn’t trying to encourage anyone else to have surgery.

“I’m not trying to put the message out there that I think everyone should go change themselves, that you need surgery to be beautiful,” she said.

“I am not doing that.”

She said plastic surgery had “just kind of become part of my identity, not even because I want it to be”.

Mary explained: “It’s because everyone just knows me as ‘plastic surgery girl’ basically.

“I always get asked about it, because I do it quite often.”

Mary also stressed how she believes that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

Last year, Mary opened up about how her addiction to plastic surgery nearly killed her and revealed the steps she was taking to have botched procedures reversed.

In March 2023, she had her 38J breast implants removed when one of them burst leaving her with a uniboob.

She said: “I have had huge implants for so long so it was a scary change but I am so happy with it.

“Shopping is fun now cuz I can fit in cute tops.”

Worried fans begged her to stop getting any more surgeries a result of the ordeal.

However, within several months Mary had decided to enlarge her breasts again and got expanders put into her chest.

Expanders are a type of inflatable implant with a port on the side that are able to be filled with saline using a syringe, allowing them to become bigger and bigger.

It came weeks after Mary told her fans how her dangerous addiction to plastic surgery almost killed her and ruined her financially.

In an emotional post, Mary admitted she’d been “trapped in a never-ending cycle” of plastic surgery and was constantly going under the knife to fix botched procedures.

She wrote: “It’s not a fun little adventure anymore, it’s just draining in every possible way.

“My time gets drained, my bank account, my energymy health.

“And in the long run, you just kind of end up digging yourself into a really expensive time-consuming hole.”
