The ‘Tummy Tuck Four’ survivor duo who were kidnapped in Mexico after traveling across the border for discount plastic surgery say their captors tried to force them to have sex with each other.
Latvia’s Ty McGee, Eric Williams, Zendel Brown and Shade Woodard were kidnapped in Matamoros, a border town on Mexico’s east coast, in early March.
Only Williams and Mackey survived after four days in captivity.
They say the cartel mistook them for Haitian drug traffickers, and once they realized their mistake, they let the survivors go.
In an interview with Anderson Cooper from CNN, McGee and Williams say the kidnappers tried to force them to have sex with each other.

The group traveled to Matamoros for McGee to have a tummy tuck. She said she lied to the mobsters by telling them she was pregnant to get rid of being forced to have sex with her friends
Eric Williams was shot in the leg and said the gang “stitched” him to a table
“They tried to get us to have sex with each other but we told them we were brother and sister and she was pregnant,” Williams said.
They also described moving between several gang hideouts and having to hide under the dead bodies of their friends while crossing.
Several days later, a video of the moment the group was kidnapped began circulating.
McGee says the kidnappers showed them the footage – and that’s when they realized they had captured four innocent Americans.
She said the gangster who released them told them he was American.
The couple was rescued from a safe house after four days in captivity
McGee said that “none of them deserved” the treatment they received. She appeared after being rescued
He said there was nothing we could do to get your two brothers back but we’re sorry, someone made the wrong call, he was high and drunk, I’m from America too.
He said, “I’m fighting with my boss until he gives in to you” and that once he leaves us, he’s going to have to leave too because they’re going to kill him.
She said they drove all night in a car under the bodies of their friends, waiting to be rescued.
“They kept asking us questions and our answers never changed, and they said, ‘We’ll give you some help,'” McGee said.
The group traveled to Matamoros for a tummy tuck. They had traveled from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for several days to get there.
Speaking of her dead friends, McGee said, “They weren’t worth it. None of us deserve that. But we are alive – we have a lot of recovery to do.
The State Department has repeatedly urged caution when traveling to Mexico.
Many countries are still under “do not travel” warnings.
