Padge-Victoria Windslowe guilty, The self-proclaimed “Michelangelo of buttocks injections” can add “convicted murderer” to her grandiose résumé.
A Philadelphia jury on Monday found Padge-Victoria Windslowe guilty of killing a British dancer in 2011 with a deadly dose silicone.
The so-called “Black Madam” bragged openly during the trial about her supposed talents for black-market “body sculpting,” claiming curvy model and Kardashian nemesis Amber Rose was a “walking billboard” for her artistry.
“I was the best, and I don’t mean that to be cocky,” Windslowe said.
Windslowe botched the 2011 hotel room procedure that killed 20-year-old Claudia Aderotimi, jurors found.
The young Londoner began struggling as the fatal silicone migrated from Aderotimi’s buttocks into her lungs, eventually stopping her heart.
Windslowe, who had pretended to be a doctor’s assistant, tried to reassure Aderotimi and a friend as the young woman was dying, prosecutors said.
She put her hand on this young lady’s chest as if she was doing an exam,” Assistant District Attorney Bridget Kirn told jurors. “But there was no exam.”
Windslowe believed the “pumping parties” were perfectly safe, her lawyers said.
“Clearly with all the information from this case, we know it shouldn't be done, it's too risky,” defense attorney David Rudenstein said. “We know that now. But we didn't know that then.”
Jurors also found Windslowe guilty of aggravated assault for another bungled procedure that injured a Philadelphia woman.
She faces 20 to 40 years in prison for the murder conviction when she’s sentenced in June.
The 45-year-old transgender woman claimed she’d learned from foreign physicians who performed her sex change operation and a doctor boyfriend whom she met through an escort service she ran. She met clients in hotels, carrying syringes, a water bottle full of silicone and Krazy glue in a pink purse, prosecutors said.Windslowe, who reportedly rapped under the “Black Madam” moniker, claimed celebrities were lining up along with thousands of others for her services.
Rapper Kanye West once dropped off Rose for a treatment, and Nicki Minaj had contacted her about an operation, Windslowe claimed.
The trial was delayed last week after Windslowe complained of chest pains. Jurors deliberated two days before delivering their verdict.
Aderotimi’s family didn’t attend the trial. The friend who was with her in Philly was also a no-show, forcing prosecutors to rely on her testimony from a 2012 hearing.
