Now Jazmyne works as an online model and is gaining recognition for her figure, with more than 121k Instagram followers.

Jazmyne told the Daily Star: "I honestly didn't see the purpose in living, then in December, 2017, I hit rock bottom.
"I was called a 'fat b****' by someone very close to me and everything sort of came into focus – I realised I needed to make serious changes in my life."
The 28-year-old started to work out more regularly and cut down on sugary foods to improve her lifestyle.
Within three years, she lost over 60lb of fat and put on over 20lb of muscle, as well as having some surgical enhancements.
Jazmyne is now an online model with size 32L breasts and 2,250cc saline implants.
She has spent $40,000 (£29,854) on plastic surgery including two breast augmentations, one Brazilian butt lift, and teeth alignment.
"Currently I am quite pleased with my look and have truly grown to love my body," she said, adding that she has now found her passion in heavyweight training.
She also posts workout videos on her dedicated fitness page.
The model said: "I love getting stronger, not only because of the aesthetic results, but also the confidence and health benefits that come with it.
"I focus mainly on the big barbell compound lifts like squats, deadlifts and overhead press. I deadlifted 225lbs for three sets of three reps the other week."
She also revealed that she's never had any serious injuries since she started training.
"I honestly have no issues with my large breasts at all," she added.
"I often get asked 'Does your back hurt? It must be killing you.' Honestly, it's great! I stretch and do a lot of active recovery to keep myself from getting injured.
"My back used to hurt the most when I was sat all day at a desk job and spent my evenings as a couch potato."
