“I’m Sorry my cancer medicine made me [lose] weight. Im slowly gaining it back,” she penned, adding: “So stop running w the worst narratives.”
She did not delve into specifics about the type of cancer or the treatments she’s undergoing, leaving fans worried yet supportive.

Shortly after the devastating news circulated online, blogger Perez Hilton, born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr, published a YouTube video, titled “SHOCKING News! Bhad Bhabie Reveals Cancer Diagnosis. BUT….”
In the two-minute clip, he asked his viewers if they believed Bhad Bhabie was fabricating her cancer.
“I’m going to say it there is also a possibility that she might have pulled a Lil Tay. I don’t know if she’s lying, I’m not claiming she’s lying, I’m just knowing these types of people operate I wouldn’t put it past her to do something like this for attention,” he said.
The ‘Gucci Flip Flop’ star’s mom, Barbara, was left angered by Perez’s video and responded to his claims in an expletive-ridden video uploaded to her Instagram on Friday (November 8) morning.

Barbara said she was feeling “pretty heated right now at Maria, AKA Perez Hilton for going on YouTube and talking about my daughter releasing on her Instagram Story about her having cancer and saying he wouldn’t pass it by her that she was making it up”.
“How dare you, you little vile piece of s**t say my daughter would lie about something like that. Okay? You’re a dad!” she slammed, adding that the blogger needs to focus on his two children: Mario Armando Lavandeira III, 11, and Mia Alma Lavandeira, seven, who were born via surrogate.
“Go find another way to make some money beside talking s**t about other people,” she hit back. “How dare you. And, I pray to God that none of your children never get cancer, okay? I’ve had it twice. How dare you say my daughter is faking this.”

“He definitely went below the belt! That is sooooo disgusting to say someone lied on having an illness… I just have no words people are disgusting!” another said.
“I’m so sorry she’s having to go through this Cancer sucks I hope she heals well and it stays away. Sending positive vibes for her recovery from this,” a third added.
We wish Bregoli all the best at this difficult time.
