Naya Rivera opens up about getting breast implants at 18
Former “Glee” star Naya Rivera is not holding back in her new memoir -- especially when it comes to her decision at 18 to get breast implants.
In her book, “Sorry Not Sorry,” Rivera details how excited she was to receive the present she got herself for her 18th birthday.
“I went around to all my teachers, told them I was going to be out,” she writes, according to an excerpt published in People. “’I’m getting plastic surgery!’ I’d tell them gleefully.”
“My art teacher was stoked -- when I told her she said that she too had fake t**s and that she was very excited for me.”
Rivera defends her decision, a move she’s still proud of.
“My new boobs were a confidence thing, not a sexual thing,” she writes. “I’d never even taken my top off for a guy. I hadn’t had many opportunities to do so, but even if I had, my bra was always stuffed with napkins.”
Rivera also reveals that she paid for the procedure herself, using money she’d earned as a child actress on TV series such as “Family Matters” and “The Royal Family.”
“Sorry Not Sorry” will be released September 13.
