Supermodel to ‘permanently deformed’ — the life of Linda Evangelista

Over the last few years the legendary supermodel Linda Evangelista has revealed shocking, secret health battles. First in 2021, where she disclosed that she had been “permanently deformed” after undergoing a popular fat-freezing procedure called cryolipolysis between 2015 and 2016. Now, she has divulged in an interview with WWD, that she’s fought breast cancer twice since 2018.

“It’s always been a charity dear to my heart — and ironically, I ended up with breast cancer myself. A little over three ago I was diagnosed,” she revealed. “The margins were not good, and due to other health factors, without hesitation, because I wanted to put everything behind me and not to have to deal with this, I opted for a bilateral mastectomy. Thinking I was good and set for life," she continued. "Breast cancer was not going to kill me."
