Renowned supermodel Linda Evangelista has provided an update on her life following a legal settlement over cosmetic treatments that she alleged left her disfigured. In a recent interview, the 58-year-old icon revealed that she is currently single and has no interest in dating.
Evangelista candidly expressed that she no longer desires intimate relationships, stating, “I don’t want to sleep with anybody anymore. I don’t want to hear somebody breathing.” She disclosed that her last dating experience occurred before the CoolSculpting incident, referring to the cryolipolysis fat-reduction procedures she underwent in 2015 and 2016.
The former model settled a lawsuit in 2022 against Zeltiq Aesthetics, the company behind the devices used in the treatments. Evangelista had previously spoken out on Instagram, alleging that the procedures resulted in increased fat cells and left her “brutally disfigured” and “permanently deformed,” leading her to become reclusive.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Evangelista is focusing on self-acceptance and letting go of guilt. She shared that she no longer blames herself for the treatments and has become less critical of herself. Although she acknowledges that the opinions of others still affect her to some extent, she has learned to cope with it more effectively.
Evangelista’s openness about her experiences sheds light on the emotional toll of cosmetic procedures and the journey toward self-acceptance after facing adversity. Her resilience and willingness to share her story serve as inspiration for others navigating similar challenges.
