A Florida woman was sentenced today (June 15) to four years in prison for injecting silicone in the rear end of a Kim Kardashian lookalike from Burlingame who died, a prosecutor said.
Vivian Gomez, 53, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was sentenced after being found guilty by a jury on March 23 for assisting Christina Ashten Gourkani with her buttocks enhancement in a Burlingame hotel in 2023, causing her death, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. Gomez faced a maximum of seven years in prison, according to Wagstaffe.
After being sentenced, Gomez said she did not want to appeal the decision and simply wanted to complete her prison term and move on with her life, Wagstaffe said.
Gourkani, 34, was a social media influencer and model known for her work as a Kim Kardashian lookalike. Gourkani hired Gomez on April 19, 2023, to assist her with her buttocks enhancement, the DA said.
Gomez does not have a license to practice medicine.
Gomez traveled to a Burlingame hotel and gave Gourkani “several injections” of what is believed to have been silicone on April 19, 2023, according to Wagstaffe.
Gourkani got sick the next day and silicone was found in her bloodstream, causing her respiratory issues and blockage in her arteries, Wagstaffe said.
Gomez waived her appearance for the decision on restitution on July 20.
