She’s so … busted.
A Utah woman said an injury she sustained in a snowboarding accident as a teenager — which she did not seek treatment for — left her with an unusual “third boob.”
Kat Kamalani posted a video on TikTok detailing the experience as part of her ongoing body confidence journey.
The mother of two told her one million followers on the social media app that it took her years after the accident to finally feel comfortable wearing a bikini, The Sun reported.
But there was a good reason behind her decision to keep it a secret for so long, the host of the Well Made with Kat podcast revealed.
“Back in high school, I was on a competitive dance team,” Kamalani explained in the video, while pointing to the mystery mound just below her left breast.
In order to be on the team she had to promise not to play any other sports in order to prevent her from getting injured.
“You sign a contract basically saying that you cannot do any other sports or dangerous activities that could get you hurt,” she said.
“The reason being is that we dance all year for state and region. It is intense, and so they don’t want to risk you getting hurt.”
But Kamalani’s love of snowboarding drew her to the slopes — regardless of the promise she made to the dance team.
“I’m just obsessed with snowboarding. Would secretly snowboard, and there was a rail that you can do in the park,” she explained.
“I decided to try something new and do a new trick. And I fell on my stomach first and completely broke my rib,” she added.
She didn’t want to lose her spot on the dance team, so she suffered silently and pretended nothing ever happened.
“I was in the worst pain ever,” she said, adding that she couldn’t move or breathe.
“I was so terrified that I would be taken out and not be able to dance. So I didn’t tell my parents, my coaches, nobody and so I could still dance,” she recalled.
Dancing through the pain may have kept her on the team, but it prevented her body from healing properly.
“And not heal correctly. I still continued to dance through it. So now I just have this third breast,” she lamented.
“This is my first year actually wearing bikinis because I have been so self-conscious of it,” she said at the time.
She told her followers that body confidence comes from within and that unrealistic beauty standard come from external sources that don’t matter.
“But I just realized that if you don’t like your body and you hate it, that is somebody else or society telling you that your body should look a certain way, and you’re believing it,” she said.
She said she doesn’t need a flat stomach and said her shape makes her unique.
Kamalani’s followers expressed their support for the mom and some even said they have a similar body shape.
“I’m not trying to be weird but it makes your belly look more defined?!? Like you have intense abs!!! You’re perfect!!!,” someone wrote.
“I got mine compliments of my third child,” said another.
“I have that and was never injured,” said a third.
