Singer Removes Ribs To Look Thinner: Thalia Posts Photos Of Her Ribs In A Jar

Would you remove your ribs if it made you look thinner? That’s what Mexican entertainer Thalia is claiming she did. There was a rumor before that she went through with surgically having her ribs removed, but she renewed the speculation again when a talk show host in the Philippines mentioned it.

Thalia is a huge superstar in the Philippines, and as ABS CBN News reports, the 42-year-old is going along with it. She posted an Instagram photo of her ribs pickled in a jar. She let followers know on her official Instagram account that she definitely had her ribs removed and is keeping them as a “souvenir.”

Thalia is known for her soap Marimar and Maria la del Barrio. She told Kris Aquino on Aquino and Abunda Tonight last week that she literally had her ribs taken out of her body to appear thinner. Aquino mentioned an episode in which the actress had a portion of her ribs taken out.

Here’s what Thalia wrote on her Instagram:

“To all my Filipino fans, I would like to set the record straight about this issue: the chismis is totoo #LOVEKRISAQUINO.”

She also uploaded a video teasing fans about her so-called rib removal!

“You think I removed my ribs? Yes, no? #ThaliasRibs #Myth”

As Daily Mail includes, Thalía has “been dubbed both the ‘Queen of Latin Pop’ and ‘Queen of Telenovelas [hispanic soaps]’ during her prolific career as a singer, songwriter, actress, author and entrepreneur.” Her entire name is Ariadna Thalia Sodi Miranda.

The talented Mexican entertainer started her career when she appeared in a commercial at the age of one. Since then, she’s gone on to sell 40 million records worldwide.

So, is this just a joke that Thalia is having fun with to see who actually believes she had her ribs removed? If that happened, talk about going to extremes!

When it comes to regular people having ribs removed to get that coveted waist, Plastic Surgery Portal tells readers that it can be done. In fact, it might be an age-old procedure that women once underwent.

Part of the article says:

“Some historians claim that rib removal for aesthetic purposes has been around since the Victorian era, when corsets were the rage and teeny-tiny waists were definitive of feminine beauty.”

The article does go on to say that most board certified plastic surgeons feel the procedure is far too risky to perform.
