DJ left ‘without a nose’ after botched Turkey enamel op caught drug driving on coke

WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT: DJ Leanne Jefferis, known as The Warrior Queen, who claimed a £3k dental op in Turkey left her ‘without a nose’, has admitted multiple drug driving offences

A British DJ previously claimed a disastrous £3,000 dental operation in Turkey left her without a nose has now admitted multiple drug driving offences. Leanne Jefferis, 41, known online as The Warrior Queen, was caught behind the wheel while high on cocaine.

The culprit set up online fundraisers for reconstructive surgery after her septum collapsed. The injury had left her unable to breathe and forced her to spend thousands more on private UK treatment.

Despite sharing her ordeal and “new nose” online, the influencer was stopped several times by police last year, testing positive for cocaine and its by-product at levels up to 16 times the legal limit.

The DJ previously launched two fundraising appeals to cover the cost of reconstructive surgery after the £3,000 operation in Antalya allegedly caused her septum to collapse. She reportedly claimed to have spent at least another £2,000 on private treatment in the UK and has posted photos of her “new nose” on Instagram while appealing for donations.

She has now pleaded guilty to a series of drug driving offences. Jefferis appeared before Telford Magistrates Court after being caught driving under the influence of cocaine on multiple occasions between October and November last year, The Sun reported.

On one stop in Donnington, she was reportedly found to be three times over the legal limit for cocaine and more than 16 times the limit for benzoylecgonine, a cocaine by-product. Less than two weeks later, she was reportedly stopped again on the same road and again tested at over 16 times the legal limit for benzoylecgonine.

A third incident on November 4 saw her test positive for both substances, The Sun reported. The court handed Jefferis a community order, a two-year driving ban, and ordered her to pay £85 in prosecution costs.

She must also complete six months of drug rehabilitation and up to 20 days of rehabilitation activity. Describing her ordeal, Jefferis previously said she paid £3,000 for dental implants, a sinus lift and a bone graft in Turkey, but was left unable to “eat or sleep” due to swelling.

After returning to the UK, she reportedly sought help from the NHS but was told her case was cosmetic and not eligible for treatment. She set up two GoFundMe pages, both now closed, to raise money for private care.

On social media, Jefferis has reportedly denied cocaine was found in her system and said her mental health was “out of the window” following the failed surgery. She added: “The whole Warrior Queen is for botched surgery’s gone wrong.

“I have helped hundreds of people and they have helped me.”
