The mother who splurged $25,000 on exotic cars, three tons of sand and even a camel for her teenage son's extravagant Dubai-themed prom send off, has spoken out about the touching reason she threw him such a lavish party and why she's pushing back against the haters.
'He struggled a lot when I was sick,' proud mom Saudia Shuler told the New York Post of her son, Johnny Eden Jr., 18. 'I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t go to the bathroom on my own. He had to go through all that and still go to school. And I said, "If I make it through this, I’m going to make his prom the best."'
The pre-prom party on June 2 in Philadelphia included a live Arabian camel, a rented Lamborghini, Range Rover and Rolls Royce, three tons of sand, and three dates all wearing custom designed gowns costing $1,500 each and Giuseppe Zanotti, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent shoes at $1,000 to $1,400 per pair.
Not to mention the three Styles By Chey custom-made outfits for the lucky teen.
