World’s First Amputee Pop Star And Model Shows Off Her Badass Prosthetics In Music Video

ADVERTISEMENT

Latvia-born singer and model Viktoria Modesta released her first music video on Channel 4, in which she gorgeously struts her bionic-looking leg. Being the first widely-known leg amputee pop star, she is a true inspiration to many.

The singer was born with a dislocated hip and leg, which greatly affected her social life at school. Enduring 15 ineffective surgeries back in Latvia, she moved to London, hoping for a better treatment. After even more failed procedures she finally convinced her doctors to amputate her leg, which eventually freed her of her complexes and boosted her self-confidence.

Now Viktoria is proud of what she went through, encouraging everyone to always follow their dreams, no matter the obstacles.

Oh look we're going to make robotic body parts sexy. This isn't about disabilities it's about acclimating us to transhumanism.

Beyond the glamour... is a soul in there wishing, wanting what every other person has got. Don't be deceived by all the pompous articulation

That is in many ways great, but also disturbing, especially some parts of it - the little girl being aggressive with her doll, twisted...

Wow. She is not only gorgeous, but incredibly courageous. She is truly an inspiration.

I think it is in many ways disturbing. Especially the part with the little girl furiously braking its doll's leg and punching it in the face

Exactly. This is too much, I don't think that it's a good way to show the true power and ability of any woman - amputee or with both legs.

Wow! Beautiful, talented and incredibly creative. Other than checking out the coolness factor, I didn't pay any attention to her leg.

She made her disability into a gimmick and her music is mediocre. Her sexuality is blatant and overstated. No thanks.

I feel like Lady Gaga is going to watch this and then go cut off her arm.
