Black Madam held for trial for illegal butt injection
May 16, 2012 | By Stephanie Farr, Daily News Staff Writer
Wednesday’s preliminary hearing for the Black Madam featured testimony
about “butt pumping parties” and a woman who goes by the name of “Back
Shots,” but perhaps the most bizarre moment came when Black Madam’s
attorney argued that one of the reasons his client isn’t a flight risk
is because she always wears four-inch heels.
Judge Jacquelyn Frazier-Lyde dkingidn’t buy the argument. She held the
case for trial and refused to reduce the $750,000 bail for Black
Madam, a transgender gothic hip-hop artist whose real name is Padge
Victoria Windslowe.
Windslowe, 42, is charged with aggravated assault and related offenses
for allegedly giving an illegal buttocks injection to an exotic dancer
while under investigation for giving an illegal injection that claimed
the life of a British tourist at an airport hotel in February 2011.
The 23-year-old victim testified Wednesday that the February 2012
injections that landed her in the hospital were not the first she’d
received from Windslowe.
The victim, whose name is being withheld by the Daily News, said on
New Year’s Eve 2010 she attended a “butt pumping party” at the house
of a fellow dancer known as “Back Shots.”
The victim said she and four other girls paid $1,000 each to have four
injections of silicone in their buttocks. Following the injections,
Windlowe used “crazy glue” and cotton balls to seal the injection
sites, the woman said.
“I thought it was strange but everybody was doing it,” she said.
After being injected and sealed, Windslowe told the women to lay on
the floor for four to five hours, to not sit on their buttocks for
three days and to drink a lot of water, the victim said.
The first procedure had no adverse affects on the woman. However, when
she learned of the British tourist who died after allegedly receiving
injections from Windslowe, she became frightened.
“It was terrible ... her face was all over the news,” she said. “I
thought ‘That was the same person who was touching me.’”
Despite her fear, the woman went to another butt pumping party hosted
by Windslowe and “Back Shots” on Feb. 19 this year. There, Windslowe
told her she had new medical-grade silicone from Thailand and she told
the injectees that the British tourist died not from the injection but
because she was high on cocaine and didn’t drink enough water, she
testified.
After Windslowe gave her the Feb. 19 injections the woman's
temperature rose to 109 degrees and she started throwing up blood, she
said. She went to Temple University Hospital, where they diagnosed her
with pneumonia and sent her home. When she continued to have trouble
breathing, she went to Lankenau Medical Center, where doctors
discovered she had fine particles of silicone in her lungs.
As for her career as an exotic dancer, the woman said she can no
longer do pole work and can’t dance as long because she gets out of
breath. She said she’s now depressed and has lost feeling in half of
her face.
