Deleese Williams, a woman who was promised cosmetic surgeries on Extreme Makeover<\/i> that would \u201ctransform her life and destiny,\u201d has sued the producers of the hit TV show. That dream was shattered when one of the dental surgeons reported that Williams\u2019 recovery time would be longer than expected. She was pulled from the show the night before her surgeries were scheduled to begin and sent home to Texas.<\/p>\n
According to the lawsuit, Williams sobbed uncontrollably when she was given the news. \u201cHow can I go back as ugly as I left?\u201d she said, \u201cI was supposed to come home pretty.\u201d Wesley Cordova, an attorney for Williams, claims, \u201cDeleese is so hurt and humiliated that she won\u2019t leave the house now. She grocery shops at midnight.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lawsuit also claims that Williams\u2019 relationship with her family has been damaged. The producers coached family members not to accept Deleese\u2019s physical flaws and pushed them to verbally express their opinions on taped interviews\u2014which Deleese later saw. The lawsuit claims, \u201cNow that she returned in the same condition in which she left, there were no secrets, no hidden feelings, no rewards.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, Cordova alleges that the emotional stress of the entire situation had a tragic impact on Deleese\u2019s sister, Kellie. \u201cKellie could not live with the fact that she had said horrible things that hurt her sister,\u201d said Cordova. \u201cShe fell to pieces. Four months later, she ended her life with an overdose of pills, alcohol, and cocaine.\u201d The lawsuit concludes, \u201cThe family is shredded. There is a human cost to this.\u201d<\/p>\n
