Botox Mom might not be cashing in on her bogus story.
A day after coming forward and saying she made up the tale of injecting her 8-year-old daughter with the wrinkle-removing concoction, Sheen Upton is getting stiffed herselfABC says it won't be paying her the $10,000 the network's Good Morning America forked over to secure her first TV interview as a "photo licensing fee."
Here's where things stand in the sordid saga.
As we reported yesterday, Upton says she was paid $200 by the U.K.'s Sun tabloid to front a story titled "I Give My 8-year-old Daughter Botox."

The GMA interview in particular created a buzzstorm and child services temporarily removed Upton's daughter from her care (she now has supervised custody).

I read somewhere else that they have determined that she did not give her daughter botox. The child has also been returned, as long as her sister stays with her until the investigation is closed.
