Karmen Karma
Career
Born Amber van de Bunt in Detroit, she left business studies at Northern Michigan University, worked as a webcam model on Cam Soda and as an exotic dancer, then moved to Los Angeles in January 2012 to perform full-time. About a year and a half into her career, in 2014, she had her first breast augmentation on the advice of her agent and industry colleagues, telling the Daily Beast that work she had struggled to book because of her tattoos suddenly picked up once she had the procedure done. She had a second augmentation, replacing the original implants, toward the end of 2015. She signed an exclusive contract with Brazzers in mid-2018. After a textured-implant recall drew public attention to breast implant illness, she matched her own symptoms — migraines unresponsive to medication, persistent fatigue and hair loss — to the condition and underwent explant surgery, telling the Daily Beast she weighed continuing to deteriorate against being an active part of her daughter’s life and chose to have the implants removed. She has also written a memoir, Overcome, about her industry experiences.
Signature: One of the few performers on record describing the full arc on her own account — why she got implants, what the industry response to them was, and why she had them taken back out.
