LOS ANGELES -- A woman is suing ABC's reality television show "Extreme Makeover" for unspecified damages, claiming its decision to cancel her appearance contributed to her sister's suicide.
Deleese Williams, 30, of Conroe, Texas, claims the producers subjected her to needless humiliation and goaded her sister, Kellie McGee, into insulting her appearance.
Miss Williams says a psychologist and numerous doctors told her she needed an "eye life, ears pulled back, chin implant and breast implants."
She also was told she needed dental surgery for a successful "makeover," the lawsuit said.
Just hours before the dental surgery was to take place, Miss Williams was told she was being dropped from the show because the recovery time wouldn't fit into the schedule, the lawsuit said.
Miss Williams said she returned to Texas devastated. Four months later, her sister killed herself.
