Rachel Dolezal has NOTHING on this lady.
Martina Big, born Martina Adam from Western Germany, appeared on “The Maury Show” on Wednesday to discuss her “transition” to becoming a Black woman.
So far, she’s received chemical injections to darken her skin, breast implants, facial injections, fake hair — and countless other procedures.

Big, a model and flight attendant, said she’s always wanted to look like a Barbie or Pamela Anderson, and has had severe body modifications to look the part, including breast implants (she is a size 32S), a nose job, and liposuction.
But this year, Big felt another change was needed: she had three tanning injections in her stomach to change her skin color. “I am now the proud owner of black skin,” she said Wednesday.
Big appeared on “The Maury Show” wearing a “Black Girls Rock” necklace with thick black wavy hair extensions and a tight gold dress to discuss her transformation.
“Martina,” Povich asked, “do you think you’re a black person?” Big immediately responded, “yes.” The audience, filled with many African-Americans, went wild.
“But 80 percent,” she quickly amended. “I have to learn a lot. I know.”
Big achieved her current skin color using chemical tanning injections, which darkened over a course of four weeks. She then noticed her eye color and natural hair began to get darker as well.
“Then I noticed that my completely body [sic] changed from a Caucasian to a Black woman,” Big says on her website. When she noticed this, she went “to the government and changed my ethnicity official to ‘Black.’”
The injections fade after a few months, so Big plans to continue getting them each time her color starts to lighten.
Big’s claims she is now black bring to mind Rachel Dolezal, who was infamously the white president of the Spokane, Wash., Chapter of the NAACP while claiming she was a black woman. But some see Big as worse.
“This WAY BEYOND Rachel Dolezal,” said @elhilaly8.
Michael, Big’s husband, was also in the audience, nearly as tan as his wife. When Maury asked him if he felt black also, he replied, “I’m a medium.”
Big claimed she isn’t changing her skin for the attention or to offend anyone, but she’s doing it for herself.
“I am black. That is my race,” she said.
Povich seemed to struggle to figure out how to end the interview. “I don’t want to feel badly for anyone, but you’re different.”
There’s so much wrong here, we don’t even know what to say.
