Subsequent Appearances and Plastic Surgery

Since 2013, she stars as Karen Desai in the television series Twisted.

The 43-year-old actress has been vocal about the cosmetic procedures she has undergone, or at least vocal about some of of them. Richards first admitted that she went under the knife for a boob job when she was just 19.

That doesn’t end there because she underwent another breast augmentation procedure, in which the doctor mistakenly assumed she wanted super large breasts being an actress that instead of having implants that compliment her body, she was instead transformed into a cup D.

The result was disastrous that she opted to undergo another surgery to fix the horrendous result of the second procedure. Finally, the third cosmetic operation became successful as the size of the implants matched her body frame and Richards couldn’t be happier that it went right at last.

When asked about her several plastic surgery encounters, she said: “At 19 when I first got my breasts done, I wish that I was confident enough with my body to not have had surgery. That is something that I really want to encourage in my daughters, to embrace their healthy body and have confidence. I actually feel more confident in my skin now than in my 20’s. Being confident is one of the sexiest qualities a woman can exude.”
