CELEBS’ NIP/TUCK OBSESSION IS SIMPLY FREAKY!

-

LONG-LOST supermodel Linda Evangelist­a has finally surfaced after holing up for six years over cosmetic surgery she claims ruined her body. But Linda’s horrifying tale will be lost on celebs caught up in Hollywood’s nip/tuck obsession.

Linda, 56, truly one of the world’s most beautiful women in her heyday, is suing a company for $50 million claiming their fat-reducing treatment backfired, causing ugly bulges to form on her face, thighs and underarms.

She claims the procedure left her “brutally disfigured” and “unrecogniz­able,” which the company strongly denies.

But her tale of terror is likely to be ignored by A-listers desperate to “fix” their looks, even if they don’t need it.

At the same time humiliated Linda is emerging from her selfimpose­d exile, reality star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, an admitted nip/tucker, is ferociousl­y denying her daughters — aged 25 and 20 — have undergone work.

After posting photos of her girls online, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta and Don’t Be Tardy star was clobbered with texts accusing the young women of lots of cosmetic fixes.

Fuming Kim fired back her daughters “have NEVER EVER had work done other than their lips! PERIOD !!!!!! ”

She doesn’t get it!

Why on earth should these girls — who are in their early 20s and at the height of their looks

— need any work at all?

It’s downright bizarre Kim would think her kids getting lip filler — or whatever — is insignific­ant.

At just 43 years old, she admits, “I’ve done my lips. I’ve been getting Botox since I was young. I’ve had my boobs done and had a tummy tuck.”

She also underwent laser treatment for lines and wrinkles.

“But that’s it. I have not done anything else,” she insists. Really? Is there anything left? Kim’s throwing a fit because folks are accusing her daughters of having more cosmetic work than they did.

Meanwhile, she says her philosophy is: “I just feel like you should try everything.”

Guess what, Kim — by the time the girls are your age, they probably will have.

Like mother, like daughters!
