New York, May 20 : The woman who allegedly injected her 8-year-old pageant princess daughter with ‘Botox’ has denied all charges by claiming that the story was made up to make quick bucks.

According to TMZ. com, Sheena Upton told a California court that British tabloid The Sun gave her 200 dollars to pose as ‘Kerry Campbell’ and read a script for the story ‘I Give My 8-Year-Old Daughter Botox’.

She said she then appeared on ‘Good Morning America’ and ‘Inside Edition’ for an additional fee.

On the shows, Upton had told horrified viewers that she gave her daughter Britney Botox and waxed her bikini area to give her a leg up in beauty pageants.

She also claimed that she was licensed to give the injections herself.

After a slew of viewers called authorities, Britney was removed from her mother''s custody, most likely prompting the mea culpa (Latin for ‘my fault’).

But according to Upton, a doctor at UCLA examined her daughter and showed that she had never been injected with anything.

"The truth is that I have never given my daughter Botox, nor allowed her to get any type of waxing, nor is she a beauty pageant contestant," the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

The Sun immediately denied the allegations and maintained that she was telling them a tall tale.

"The Sun strongly denies any suggestion it solicited or knowingly published a false story regarding Kerry Campbell and her daughter. The article was published in good faith, in common with a large number of other news organizations around the world, after being received in full from a reputable UK news agency," the paper said in a statement.
