\"20029539-mmmain\"<\/a>Former supermodel and Bill Cosby accuser Janice Dickinson has revealed in a video\u00a0interview that she has breast cancer.<\/p>\n

According to DailyMail.com, the American outpost of the British tabloid, Dickinson disclosed in an “emotional” interview that she was\u00a0diagnosed on March 12 after her doctor found a lump in her right breast during a routine medical exam.<\/p>\n

As is the norm for such a diagnosis, Dickinson had a\u00a0mammogram and a biopsy, which found she has early-stage\u00a0ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a\u00a0common form of breast cancer that originates in the\u00a0milk ducts but hasn’t spread. It is usually treated with a lumpectomy and radiation, and is not considered life-threatening.<\/p>\n

The news came just a day before Dickinson’s ongoing defamation case against Cosby was due in court again in Los Angeles for a hearing on Cosby’s latest motion to dismiss. Dickinson’s\u00a0lawsuit if one of several filed by some of the five-dozen women who have accused him of drugging and\/or raping them in episodes dating back decades.<\/p>\n

Dickinson, 61, has been one of the most outspoken of Cosby’s accusers since she went public in 2014 with her story that he drugged and raped her in a Lake Tahoe hotel room in 1982.
\nSoon after she joined the growing number of accusers, she went\u00a0on Entertainment Tonight\u00a0and on\u00a0CNN\u00a0for interviews in which she was\u00a0emotional, furious and used profanity. She called Cosby a “pig,” a “monster” and a “rapist,” among other epithets.<\/p>\n

Dickinson\u00a0held back tears during the DailyMail.com\u00a0interview. Sometimes called the “first supermodel,” she said she feels like she has entered a “nightmarish dream”\u00a0since the diagnosis.<\/p>\n

“Just two weeks ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” she said. “It’s still quite shocking. Today I got very scared… I just get very scared and it hit me. But I am not gonna let that define me, the fear. I’m going to get through this, I’ll be just fine, kiddo.”<\/p>\n

Dickinson’s lawyer in the Cosby defamation suit, Lisa Bloom, said she could not comment on her client’s medical condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
