Anivia Cruz-Dilworth (seen-r), a plus size high fashion model for Wilhemina and Click modeling agencies, has been indicted on charges of practicing cosmetic medicine without a license.
Allegedly, six women went to Dilworth for buttocks-enhancement injections and was told by the model that she's a trained professional. Instead of receiving a fuller posterior the six females between the ages of twenty and thirty years old, were sent to the hospital before their second treatment could occur.

Cruz-Dilworth injected six women with what she described as hydro-gel; a solid jelly-like material thought to be similar to bathtub caulk, said Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Peter Sepulveda.
Cruz used a syringe, marked the women, then injected them while using Krazy glue to seal the punctures. The effects of the injections were so serious that one woman had to undergo five separate hospitalizations and multiple surgeries. Cruz-Dilworth charged anywhere from $650 to $1,250 dollars for the injections. The 5 foot 10 beauty now faces 3-5 years in prison.

On her Facebook page Cruz-Dilworth, says she graduated from West Orange High School and Montclair State University and owns 'It’s Anivia' cosmetics and skin care line. The company’s website says the line has not yet launched.
LA's perspective: I personally met and got to know Anivia Cruz at Kean University before she had the Dilworth on her last name. From what I know of Anivia she was always very sweet, very kind, and very creative but somewhat troubled from her past. It's hard for me to believe that she would do this on her own.
I'm not justifying what she did, just a bit confused by her far out actions. So I only hope and pray that a thorough investigation is done on her behalf, as I do not believe she acted alone.
