Actress Nicole Eggert, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, in a candid revelation, has expressed regret over her decision to undergo breast augmentation at the age of 18 during her time on the “Baywatch” show.
“I look at all these younger girls doing it and think, ‘God, leave your bodies alone!’” she shared in an interview with People, published on Saturday, as reported by Page Six.
Reflecting on the challenges of filming in a swimsuit daily, Eggert recalled the difficulty she faced due to her decision at a young age, stating, “But when you have to put on that one-piece and it’s like, you’re so flat that it’s like, pleating — you got pleats across the front — You’re like, ‘What is this?’”
The “Charles in Charge” alum expressed her lack of preparedness for the physically demanding role on “Baywatch” and acknowledged her decision at 18 as a “stupid” one.
Now at 52, Eggert has undergone multiple breast augmentations, including a reduction documented on the E! show “Botched” in 2015.
Earlier this month, she revealed her diagnosis of stage 2 cribriform carcinoma.
Facing the impending surgery and chemotherapy, Eggert admitted to feeling panicked, especially considering her role as the sole caregiver for her 12-year-old daughter.
In a heartfelt plea, a close friend created a GoFundMe page to assist Eggert with the substantial costs of her upcoming treatments, acknowledging the challenging journey she is about to embark on and the difficulties of asking for help during such trying times.
