If you opened any fashion magazine from the <\/span>\u201990s, <\/span>you\u2019d likely come across some aesthetic images of the sharp-featured, effortlessly chic and erotically beautiful <\/span>Linda Evangelista<\/a><\/strong> scattered across several glossy pages. In the era when supermodels were superstars, she shined among contemporaries like Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. But unlike the rest, the 56-year-old model didn\u2019t seem to remain in the spotlight. Until now, we know why.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a recent <\/span>Instagram post<\/a><\/strong>, Evangelista opened up about experiencing an adverse reaction to a fat-freezing procedure \u2014 known as Zeltiq\u2019s CoolSculpting \u2014 that left her \u201cpermanently disformed.\u201d On top of leaving her \u201cunrecognizable,\u201d she said it <\/span>\u201chas not only destroyed my livelihood, it has sent me into a cycle of deep depression, profound sadness, and the lowest depths of self-loathing.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

After five years of suffering, the model now feels ready to take a step toward legal action: \u201cWith this lawsuit, I am moving forward to rid myself of my shame and going public with my story. I\u2019m so tired of living this way. I would like to walk out my door with my head held high, despite not looking like myself any longer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
