In September 2014, 21-year-old Jasmine Tridevil claimed that she’d had a third breast surgically implanted. The story was so irresistible that outlets across the world ran with it, until it was revealed to be a hoax and we all got on with our lives. But this wasn’t the only viral story launched by the woman.
In 2013, a Florida woman supposedly chose not to turn her attacker over to the police, provided he stand beside the roadside wearing a sign saying “I beat women, honk if I’m a scumbag.” It was an Internet sensation, and it came courtesy of Tridevil’s alter-ego, Alisha Jasmine Hessler. Hessler apparently has skill with this. Her Florida-area business listings were changed after the triple-breasted story broke to claim she’s a “provider of Internet hoaxes.”
As of March 2015, she appears to now be getting her kicks talking to tabloid newspapers about her status as a hoaxer.
