Dr Terry Dubrow is famous for fixing plastic surgeries gone wrong, but now he says a former patient is demanding US$5 million ($7.5m) for a procedure that, according to the patient, went horribly wrong.
According to legal documents obtained by Page Six, Sandy Scoggins had a buttock lift surgery by Dubrow and wants him to pay her the huge sum in exchange for not going public with her negligence claims. The surgery was not a part of the E! reality show.
Dubrow claimed the woman was prepared to file a federal lawsuit "so she can tell the world what happened to her", the court documents said. What's more, the celebrity surgeon says the woman's lawyer sent him a 901-page document full of demands and the request for the multi-million dollar pre-litigation settlement. Scoggins said she was prepared to file a federal lawsuit, report him to the California Medical Board, and tell her story to the media.
Scoggins' lawyer Stephen Le Brocq told the publication she was "botched by Botched", and accused the surgeon of rushing the procedure.
