An influencer has revealed that she ate her own knee cartilage during a romantic spaghetti bolognese dinner with her fella. Paula Gonu had to undergo an operation after suffering an injury. After the surgery, the doctor asked Paula if she wanted to keep her meniscus. The 30-year-old - who has over two million followers on Instagram - said yes and then whipped it up into the dish. She made the revelation during an interview on the Club 113 podcast on YouTube. The doc asked her if she wanted a general or local anaesthetic and she plumped for the latter. She wanted to see the screen while the op took place. Paula, who comes from Badalona, near Barcelona, in Spain, said: “He used a camera.

How did you put the meniscus in the ragu?” “My stomach hurt. Now it hurts even more. Thank you,” wrote another. Gerard said: “I really have to close TikTok now.” Nicole joked: “I once ate a booger.” Sofia remarked: “If it's mine, yes, I’d eat it, but from another person, no way.

The burning body of a woman who disappeared after reportedly going to make a Facebook Marketplace purchase was found by police in Alabama on Friday, authorities say. Jermiera Ivory Fowler, 31, was reported missing on Thursday (1 June) by concerned family after apparently going to meet an online seller the previous day, the Birmingham Police Department said in a statement. At 9pm that night, officers were called to reports of a burning body in an area near the 200 Block of Sellers Rd, a dead end street in a wooded area. Birmingham Fire and Rescue officers extinguished the fire, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Birmingham police said. Authorities said they launched a homicide investigation after identifying the remains as Fowler. She had “visible signs of trauma”, and had suffered a gunshot wound prior to being set alight, police said. Police have not yet made any arrests or identified a suspect. They say they cannot confirm that the Facebook Marketplace meeting is linked to the homicide. According to an earlier missing person release, Fowler was last been seen at about 4pm on Wednesday in the 500 block of 41st Street North, six miles from where her body was found. She had been driving a white Nissan Versa Note. Fowler’s death marks the 50th homicide in Birmingham so far in 2023, according to the police department.
