While the colleagues with whom she shared countless glittering hours of fame in the early 90s continue to make headlines and make comebacks, Linda Evangelista, who was one of the most talked about and profitable supermodels of the nineties, has almost completely disappeared in recent years and now she reveals the reason.
In a long and revealing post that the 56-year-old evangelist uploaded to her Instagram today (Thursday), the supermodel shared the nightmare that became her life.
"Today I took a big step in redressing an injustice I suffer from, one I kept to myself for five years. To my followers who wondered why I did not work, while my colleagues' careers are thriving, here's the reason, and that is that my appearance is cruelly distorted by Celtic's Cool Sculpting treatment. The opposite of what he promised, "she revealed.

According to Evangelista, the cold-melting fat treatment that was supposed to reduce the fat cells in her body, instead caused their increase following a complication called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), a complication that is considered rare.
According to her, she did not receive any information about him before the treatment, which now, as stated, left her, according to her, "permanently distorted even after two painful surgeries to repair the damage."
Evangelista, who since the failed procedure went underground and rarely went public, also mentioned her descriptions in the media on the rare occasions when photographers managed to document and wrote: "I remained as they described in the media 'unrecognizable'."

At the end of the loaded post, Evangelista noted that the failed procedure not only caused her to lose her livelihood, it also led to deep depression and abysmal sadness and sent her to the lowest places of self-loathing that made her lonely.
Evangelista has stated that it intends to file a lawsuit on the matter, with the aim of getting rid of the shame it carries and making its personal story public.

"I'm tired of living like this. I want to leave the house with my head held high, despite the fact that I no longer look like myself," she wrote.
The painful post garnered tens of thousands of likes in a matter of hours, and garnered supportive responses from Evangelista members of the industry, including former colleagues Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Helena Christensen actress Gwyneth Paltrow and super designer Marc Jacobs.
