‘Human Ken Doll’ Rodrigo changes name to Jessica Alves, flaunts surgically enhanced body in semi-nude selfie
Former ‘Human Ken Doll’ Rodrigo Alves has unveiled her new name as she said she would like to be called "Jessica Alves" now. And to celebrate the launch of her new moniker, the TV star took to Instagram to post a very racy picture of herself.
In the picture posted on her social media account, Jessica was seen donning a tiny thong, baring nearly all in the mirror selfie. She used some flame emojis to cover up her nipples as she showcased her surgically enhanced figure to her one million followers. The nearly naked mirror selfie was posted after the 'Big Brother' star appeared on ‘This Morning’ on Monday, July 13, introducing herself as Jessica and plans on formally changing her name. The Brazilian-born transgender star also revealed that she would like to become a mother.
“I have been developing as a person and as a human being. I was born a transgender woman. Throughout the years you have known me, I was fighting the fact that I have always been a woman inside myself,” Jessica told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford. When Ruth asked, “What about love in your life?” The 36-year-old replied: “First, is to love yourself. My priority is myself and my transition. I would like to have a child and like to have a baby. I visualize myself taking care of my baby and being with someone who loves me and accepts for me for who I am.”
However, when Ruth questioned her previous surgeries that “were to become more masculine. Did you always know you wanted to be Jessica?” Jessica said, “I’ve always known I was a woman, since the age of three, four, five, six. I always played with dolls and was in touch with my feminine side. I started crossdressing at home in secret. I would sit in secret in front of the television and nobody knew. I was trying to be a man. I had a six-pack, big arms. I tried my best to be a male because I was born in this body. But I was very depressed and unhappy. I transitioned or I died, one or the other.”
When Eamonn began listing the number of expensive surgeries Jessica has had in the past, including breast enlargement, facial feminization, lower body procedures, and more, she said: “I still need two or three more surgeries to complete my transition and then I swear for God, I’ll be done with plastic surgery. There’s only so much a body can take. But I had to do it to reach the person I am today. What I’m doing today, it’s right for me.
“I don’t wish I transitioned earlier because I had to go through all of that and what I was going through inside myself. Having said that, surgeries can be risky. I am a very healthy person and don’t drink. I sleep well and I eat well. I need three more to complete my transition and then I’m done. My happiness before was a happiness that didn’t last for long. It was an outside happiness. Now my happiness comes from my heart.”
During the conversation, Jessica also talked about her present life and the further plan as she said: “I’m a very lucky person because I have an amazing family and couldn’t wish for a better family than mine. They give me presents and jewelry. My friends, very good long term friends, are not friends anymore. A lot of them can’t relate to the new me. They find it difficult which I respect, I’m not going to force anyone to be my friend. I’m still being a television personality in different countries. Unfortunately, I don’t get to do much here. There’s not much of a market for me.”
While concluding her interview with Eamonn and Ruth, Jessica noted that “transgender people should be more recognized”. “We should see more transgender people on TV, in film, in art. We are like everyone else, we are just born differently,” she said, adding: “My name on social network is still Rodrigo but it should be changed today because I’m announcing my new name with you guys.”
