After settling her lawsuit against CoolSculpting, which she alleged left her “brutally disfigured, and undergoing a great deal of therapy,” Linda Evangelista says she no longer blames herself for the ordeal that left her “unrecognizable” and depressed as she developed paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (Pah), what’s said to be a rare but serious side effect of CoolSculpting’s fat-freezing process.
“I don’t blame myself any more. I’m not hard on myself any longer,” Evangelista tells U.K. publication The Times. “And how people feel about me still bothers me a little bit, but it used to bother me a lot. I know now that I didn’t do anything wrong. For the longest time I thought I did. I’m not completely rid of it, but I work hard at getting rid of the guilt and the shame. And I’m not letting it ruin my life. I...

“Well, I have a pet peeve,” she said. “A big one. I think post-production is the devil. I think filters and retouching are the devil.”
She explained, “When, back in the day, when we did a photograph, yes we cheated. We tied our belts so tight and then put Coke cans in the back to cinch our waists. We held reflectors to take out the bags [under our eyes].”
However, Linda insisted, “They didn’t retouch the photo. We did it perfectly on set and what you saw was what you got.”

In Apple TV+’s new docuseries The Super Models, Linda Evangelista reflects on being in an “abusive relationship.”

“I learned that maybe I was in the wrong relationship,” she says. “It’s easier said than done to leave an abusive relationship. I understand that concept because I lived it. If it was a matter of just saying, ‘I want a divorce, see ya,’ it doesn’t work that way.”
Evangelista suggests that this man was physically violent, saying, as it sounds like her voice is breaking, “He knew not to touch my face, not to touch the moneymaker, you know?”
