Canadian ex-supermodel Linda Evangelista, who hasn’t appeared in public since her cosmetic surgery, was photographed in New York this week.
The ex-girlfriend of French footballer and world champion Fabien Barthez, was seen leaving his private apartment. The former queen of the parades was however difficult to recognize with her sanitary mask and her pair of glasses with thick frames, which covered a large part of her face. She also wore a big black puffer jacket, wide black pants and ankle boots of the same color. The legendary 1990s model said last month that she was done with “to hide“, after her cosmetic surgery operation which disfigured her.
February 16 for People the ex-wife of François-Henri Pinault had unveiled her new face, five years after her last appearance. During the interview she said:I loved being on the catwalks. Now I’m terrified of running into anyone I know. I can’t live like this anymore, hidden and ashamed. I couldn’t live with this pain any longer.“Annoyed, the mother of Augustin James had dropped:”I no longer look at myself in mirrors, this person does not look like me.“
The model had sued the company CoolSculping, a branch of Zeltiq Aesthetics Inc and had claimed 50 million dollars in damages. She had noticed that several areas of her face had strangely hardened following an operation. Later, she was diagnosed with paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, directly caused by a poorly performed cosmetic operation.
