What we have come to: model plans abortion so she can appear on reality show—UPDATED

From The New York Daily News:  

A wannabe celebrity plans to have an abortion just so she can appear on a reality television program.

Josie Cunningham, who got pregnant either working as a prostitute or through having sex with a soccer player, says being pregnant is ruining her chances of becoming famous on reality TV.

“I’m finally on the verge of becoming famous and I’m not going to ruin it now,” the British 23-year-old told The Mirror.

“An abortion will further my career. This time next year I won’t have a baby. Instead, I’ll be famous, driving a bright pink Range Rover and buying a big house. Nothing will get in my way.”

Josie is 18 weeks pregnant.

She is in negotiations with a British TV channel to appear on “Big Brother.”

UPDATE: The abortion has reportedly been put off: 

Fame-hungry glamour model Josie Cunningham has postponed her abortion after she was rejected by TV’s Big Brother.

Cunningham caused outrage after she said she wanted an abortion to improve her chances of appearing on the popular TV show.

Big Brother bosses were reportedly said to have turned cold towards her after finding out she was pregnant.

But now they say they do not want her, regardless of whether she has the abortion.

The 23-year-old, who is 18 weeks pregnant, has fled home after receiving death threats.

A source said: “Josie is terrified. She doesn’t know what to do or which way to turn. She’s had scores of death threats and is frightened to go home.

“She postponed the abortion because of the threats. But it has made her wonder whether life is more important than fame.”
