Linda Evangelista Opens Up About Her First Modeling Contract At 16: "They Wanted Me Naked"
Supermodel Linda Evangelista has been open about the botched CoolSculpting procedure that left her disfigured. In a recent interview with Vogue UK, she talked more about how the experience shaped her and also gave some insight into her early modeling days.
Linda sued Zeltiq, the parent company of CoolSculpting, and announced in July that she settled the case and is "happy to put this matter behind me." Prior to that, she shared photos of how the procedure left her "brutally disfigured" and "permanently deformed." She developed Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH), which caused bulges and protrusions that resulted in chafing and bleeding. She also spoke about the guilt and shame she faced when she realized that she was nearly unrecognizable.
