"A woman who was filmed parading in fantasy body paint in front of a festival crowd after claiming she needed a stick to get around has been jailed and handed a 135,000 court bill for her "lies. Kae Burnell-Chambers, 44, claimed that a blunder by NHS doctors had led to nerve damage which left her struggling to walk, get out of a car, or even dress herself, and sued for over 3 million in compensation."
"But a video unveiled at the High Court instead showed the model and artist posing and strutting whilst painted as a fantasy warrior, along with other body paint models at the Kustom Culture Blast Off festival in 2019. The video was filmed months before she launched her damages bid over the delayed diagnosis of her cauda equina syndrome - a condition involving damage to nerves at the end of the spinal cord."
"Whilst the condition was genuine, she later admitted to exaggerating her symptoms after social media videos emerged, revealing she had been working as an artist and parading as a model despite claiming severe disability."
Journalists are being funded to cover major issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping reporting free of paywalls. A woman filmed parading in fantasy body paint after claiming severe disability was jailed and ordered to pay a large court bill for misleading the court. Kae Burnell-Chambers, 44, sued for over 3 million alleging an NHS error caused nerve damage and cauda equina syndrome. High Court video showed her posing as a body paint model at a 2019 festival months before her damages claim. The condition was genuine but she admitted exaggerating symptoms after social media evidence surfaced.
