In the wake of the sudden death of his mother, Donda, Kanye West has pulled out of performing at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, ET is reporting. Meanwhile, as a coroner investigates "complications of surgery" as Donda's possible cause of death, it appears that Kanye might not have known his mom was going under the knife for a breast reduction and tummy tuck. "He loved and supported her just the way she was," a family friend tells the New York Daily News. "He thought she was beautiful." However, the source notes, "Donda had image issues, like a lot of women."

In has since come to light that West's cosmetic surgeon of choice, Dr. Jan Adams — who operates out of a storefront above a West Los Angeles Kinko's — has a history of DUI convictions and malpractice judgments.

This is so sad on so many levels. The obvious worship Kanye had for his mom and the fact that they were friends as well as mother-son...it's heartbreaking.

The fact that she felt she needed to conform to some ridiculous form of "beauty" should be a wake up call to a lot of women (and some men). Any parent who is thinking about cosmetic surgery should put their kids in Kanye's shoes for a while. She already was a beautiful woman. That was certainly a hell of a lot better than being a dead woman!
