Paige Van Zant creates quite the stir
Paige Van Zant mustered quite a reaction from the Netizens, after she posted this particular pic last week.

PVZ fluffed aside all the negativism from the internet, and had this to say to TMZ sports.
“Yep, I did get a boob job.”
She continued, “I’m a girl and always wanted my own boobs. They never came so I bought them.”
Continuing in the same theme, UFC photographer Mike Roach was accused of objectifying Women after a video was released of him – doing his job.
