JILTED woman spent over EIGHT-THOUSAND-POUNDS on cosmetic surgery after discovering her partner was ENGAGED TO SOMEONE ELSE ā€“ and now sheā€™s flaunting her REVENGE-BOD all over social media.

Realtor, Jo Ann Munz (54) from Las Vegas, USA, was in a happy, healthy relationship and for 18 months, had no reason to believe that anything was awry ā€“ that was until Jo Ann discovered that her partner was engaged to someone else.

After confronting her partner and his fiancĆ©, Jo Ann was labelled an ā€˜old hag,ā€™ and ā€˜grandma loserā€™. Soon after, she spiralled into a depressive episode and lost 30lbs ā€“ only leaving the house to go to work. Jo Ann knew things needed to change.

She subsequently spent Ā£8,280 ($10,650) on cosmetic surgery in a complete overhaul of her look. This included replaced breast implants Ā£6213 ($8,000), a plasma fibroblast Ā£776 ($1,000), Botox Ā£776 ($1000), micro-needling Ā£388 ($500) and a chemical peel Ā£116 ($150). In the future, Jo Ann hopes to have her upper and lower eyes done in addition to maintaining her Botox and fillers.

Alongside this, Jo Ann also adopted a strict work-out regime and incorporated pilates, kettlebell, and boot camp workouts into her routine five to seven times a week. She credits drinking water and protein shakes as key components in maintaining her impressive muscular physique.

With her new look came a fresh outlook on life, and Jo Ann decided not to hold back. After turning 50, she took part in a liberating naked photo shoot in the desert and hasnā€™t looked back since. Jo Ann now regularly models ā€“ posting the seductive images to her Instagram page – and hopes to show older women that thereā€™s no expiry date on beauty or having fun.

ā€œRevenge was the impetus originally for my first photo shoot, but once I started getting positive responses from women, I realised that I was inspiring some of them to step out of their comfort zones,ā€ Jo Ann said.

ā€œWith age comes a sense of cool. If you donā€™t like me or my style, okay. I feel much more attractive now because I have confidence.

ā€œIā€™m not trying to turn every head in the room ā€“ just enjoy the moment. Iā€™ve learned how to hide my flaws for the days when Iā€™m just not feeling it.ā€

Not everyone has responded to Jo Annā€™s look positively. Some people have branded her a Barbie ā€“ something Jo Ann takes as a compliment.

ā€œThereā€™s lots of ā€˜colourfulā€™ comments from men ā€“ thatā€™s inevitable,ā€ she said.

ā€œPeople immediately either love me or hate me ā€“ thereā€™s no middle ground.

ā€œOne of my brothers is always telling me to put some clothes on. My friends really support and love what I do with photoshoots. They admire that I always move to my own beat and do what I want.

ā€œOnce, I was at a photoshoot and no one could remember my name and so they just called me Barbie. Itā€™s a very fun title to have ā€“ especially at my age.

ā€œFor me, it plays well. I really donā€™t take a lot of things seriously and it makes me relatable.

ā€œMy signature look is heels too high, nails too long, and clothes too loud.ā€

Jo Ann hopes she can inspire other women her age to continue embracing their beauty.

ā€œItā€™s important for me to inspire other women to not give up. Strong women inspire each other,ā€ she said.

ā€œWater is your best friend, drink it. Donā€™t make any cosmetic changes unless theyā€™re for you. Be consistent with your exercise and good eating habits ā€“ but plan for a cheat day.

ā€œStop comparing yourself to a photoshopped image of perfection. I look at altered pictures of myself and I wish I looked like her too.

ā€œConfidence is the sexiest accessory a woman can wear. Fake it until you donā€™t need to anymore.ā€
