'The butt lady' convicted of murder after second SoCal client dies from silicone injections
"A Riverside County woman known as "the butt lady" has been convicted of murder after a second client - a TV actor living in Malibu - died from silicone injections she administered, authorities said. Last year, Libby Adame was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a certification for giving 26-year-old Karissa Rajpaul a fatal silicone butt injection in Sherman Oaks in 2019. But the conviction did not stop her from continuing to perform unauthorized procedures in California, prosecutors said."
"In her closing argument, L.A. County Deputy Dist. Atty. Lee Cernok said that Adame had been warned by the judge in the 2024 trial that, as she was aware of the dangers of her services, she could be convicted of murder if another client died, according to reporting from City News Service. There's evidence to suggest that Adame was aware of the dangers of silicone butt injections even before Rajpaul and Santangelo died from the procedure."
"Prosecutors said Libby Adame continued performing unauthorized butt injections despite a 2024 conviction for involuntary manslaughter after another client died from the procedure. During the 2024 trial, prosecutors said there was security camera footage of Adame fleeing a salon in South Gate in 2018 as paramedics rushed in the front door to treat a woman who subsequently died from the injections. No charges were filed in the 2018 death."
Libby Adame was convicted of second-degree murder and practicing medicine without certification after a Malibu actress died from a silicone butt injection that caused a fatal embolism. Adame previously received a 2024 conviction for involuntary manslaughter and practicing without certification following a 2019 fatal injection. Prosecutors presented evidence that Adame continued administering unauthorized injections despite prior convictions and warnings. Security camera footage showed Adame fleeing a 2018 salon where a woman later died after injections. The victim's husband testified and has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Adame.
