The Latest ‘Human Barbie’ Claims Her Parents FORCE Her To Live Like A Doll

Angelica Kenova denies having plastic surgery, says her tiny waist is down to her parents controlling her diet…

Angelica Kenova might look like just another ‘Human Barbie’, but the 26-year-old Russian claims she has never had plastic surgery, and that her extreme figure is a result of her parents controlling her diet and exercise regime.

With a 20-inch waist and a 32E bra size, Angelica says she has been raised as a doll since birth, and still lives with her mum and dad in Moscow.

“Since I was a child, my parents styled me as a Barbie so I'm glad that I'm equated to one - Barbie is the idol of girls around the world,” Angelica tells Mail Online.

“Growing up, my parents raised me like a princess and never let me go out, date boys or have the usual adult experiences. As a result, I am not fit for real life - I'm like a living doll.”

Weighing just six stone five, Angelica puts her shape down to her parents hiring her a personal trainer, adding, “Cosmetic work is only necessary when an individual has serious faults with their face or body.”

Weirdly, while she’s not allowed to date or dress herself, Angelica’s parents totally approve of her regular raunchy photoshoots.

“Given how old I am, I should be independent but my parents insist I still live with them,” she says. “I understand that it's bad that my mother accompanies me on dates with me and I should be independent by now but I just can't.

“My parents have kept me in a glass palace all my life but one day hopefully, I will be able to break free. It is never too late to start an independent life.”
