Linda Evangelista

Model Linda Evangelista previously filed a lawsuit against Zeltiq Aesthetics Inc. over a CoolSculpting procedure that allegedly left her 'deformed.'

In September, the ’90s covergirl filed a product liability lawsuit in New York against Zeltiq Aesthetics Inc., a subsidiary of Allergan allegedly responsible for her CoolSculpting nightmare. “I’m pleased to have settled the CoolSculpting case,” Evangelista wrote. On Instagram, the model shared a statement Tuesday announcing that the case is closed and expressing gratitude for “those who have reached out” and supported her.

Now I dread running into someone I know,” she told People in February. “I can’t live like this anymore, in hiding and shame.

Congratulations @lindaevangelista, welcome back,” one fan wrote, while another said: “The queen is back!” That’s my goal,” she said, adding: “I’m not going to hide anymore.” However, while speaking to People about the effects of the cosmetic procedure in February of this year, Evangelista said she planned to continue speaking openly about the experience in the hopes of ridding herself of the “shame” she felt.

Motherhood remained a priority, and in 2006, the runway star, then 41, announced she was expecting again, while keeping mum about the identity of the child’s father. Speaking to the Guardian’s Weekend magazine earlier this year, Evangelista said she believed the women’s accounts of their experiences with Marie, who for over three decades was among the most powerful figures in the fashion industry. In 1998, a year after she had announced her retirement from modelling, Evangelista began stepping out with French footballer Fabien Barthez. The couple went on to announce they were expecting a baby, but the supermodel sadly suffered a miscarriage at six months. Her fees soon skyrocketed, which led Evangelista to famously comment that she didn’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day - a comment which became part of fashion history and has been described as the “let them eat cake” of the twentieth century. Her lawyer claimed the billionaire asked her to terminate the pregnancy. A favourite of all the biggest names in fashion, from designers Karl Lagerfeld and Gianni Versace to editors Franca Sozzani and André Leon Talley, Evangelista did not just embody the supermodel mantra: she invented it. She added: “I was in a particularly vulnerable situation... Luckily, after finishing high school, Linda’s mum persuaded her to give modelling a second chance, leading the young Canadian to sign with New York agency Elite. In 1984 she relocated to Paris, but good jobs were slow to come by and it was three years before she landed her first assignment for Vogue. I thought it meant that I was the chosen one,” Sutton said. The model wrote on Instagram: “I look forward to the next chapter of my life with friends and family, and am happy to put this matter behind me.” According to Evangelista the experience “destroyed” her livelihood, and sent her “into a cycle of deep depression, profound sadness, and the lowest depths of self-loathing”. “In the process, I have become a recluse,” she wrote in an Instagram post. With this condition — which has been reported in 0.0051 per cent of the 1.5 million CoolScultping procedures performed worldwide — the treated area becomes larger, rather than smaller, leaving a “painless, visibly enlarged, firm, well-demarcated mass” underneath the skin.

The latest chapter in the lawsuit comes as Evangelista has returned to work. In an accompanying IG post, she added, “I’m not done telling my story, and I will continue sharing my experience to rid myself of shame, learn to love myself again, and hopefully help others in the process.” In the story, she revealed that she had fallen into a cycle of depression and that she missed her legendary supermodel career, one that saw her face plastered upon countless magazine covers as one of the most in-demand models of the 1990s. Evangelista’s declaration followed a September 2021 reveal that generated worldwide headlines when the supermodel claimed that a routine and popular fat-reduction procedure called CoolSculpting did the opposite. The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Evangelista’s attorney, Daniel Markham at Wrobel Markham, as well as CoolSculpting parent company, Allergan, for additional comment and will update accordingly. Evangelista did not reveal terms of the settlement.
