Carla Bellucci revealed that she was grappling with her diagnosis of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), an ongoing lung condition caused by damage to the lungs.
The damage could cause swelling, irritation, and inflammation, thus obstructing the airflow into and out of the lungs.

In most cases, COPD is the outcome of long-term exposure to irritating smoke, fumes, dust, chemicals, or cigarette smoke.
But Bellucci insisted her diagnosis was not caused by cigarettes.
“It was a shock, and it still is…” the severe asthma patient told Mirror about processing her situation.

“I am gutted but also relieved to know because I’ve been so sick on and off for two years,” she said. “It’s a relief that it can now start to be controlled.”
The model was, however, glad to have an explanation for why she had frequent chest infections and bouts of pneumonia over the last couple of years.

Having once duped the NHS to get a nose job, Bellucci said she could see the irony in how she’s now relying on the taxpayer-funded health service to “keep [her] alive with medication.”
“How things can turn,” she said, noting that she has to use special steroid inhalers for the rest of her life, and is currently taking medications for her condition.

It was in 2019 when the influencer sparked outrage by openly admitting that she had faked depression to qualify for a free nose job through Britain’s public health service.
“I was surprised to get this nose job as much as anyone else,” she said during a The Morning episode in 2019.

The mother-of-four said she decided to fool the NHS after discovering that it could cost about £7,000 ($9,381.89) to fix the bump in her nose.
“I went to my GP, flirted with him, and he told me exactly what to do,” she told the Daily Star. “The funny thing is, I’ve never had depression, never been prescribed medication for it, or had any therapy. They didn’t check a thing.”

At the time, she said she “didn’t care what people [said]” about “milking the system,” as “that’s what it’s there for.”
She even said she would encourage her daughter to use the same tactic if needed.
Her daughter, Tanisha, went viral in 2020 at the age of 14 for saying she wanted Botox and lip fillers for Christmas after being “inspired” by her mother.

Bellucci said at the time that her teen daughter should “do what makes her happy.”
After Bellucci’s latest update about her COPD diagnosis, critics claimed they had “zero sympathy” for her situation.
“This woman is definitely suffering from Main Character Syndrome,” one said, while another wrote, “Should’ve saved all the money from the nonsensical articles of her exposing herself all the time.”

“Why on earth would you brag about scamming NHS; is she looking to be reviled and disliked – weird strategy,” wrote another.
Bellucci called her critics “sickos” for saying it was “karma” that put her in this situation and asserted that she didn’t have to justify her past actions to anyone.
“I’m not going to worry about anything that’s not necessary because health is wealth,” she told Mirror.
The model said she was going to continue travelling around the world because “you get one life.”
“I’m going to soak up every minute,” she added. “It makes you realise not to take life for granted because anything can happen.”
Feeling “strong and determined,” Bellucci said she was looking past her diagnosis and felt “blessed” to have her four children and husband in her life.

“I feel so lucky to be alive, and there are so many people worse off,” she said.
“I am hoping to use my platform to educate people about COPD, and for people who smoke and vape, I would quit,” she added. “It’s not worth it. I’m a little jarred off because I don’t smoke and still have this condition, but it is what it is.”

In the US, statistics revealed that approximately 11.1 million adults were living with COPD in 2023.
It was listed as one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality by the American Lung Association.
Bellucci previously said she often received DMS from married men, flirting with her behind their wives’ backs

Despite being married, Bellucci said last year that she often received DMS from other married men who were trying to flirt with her behind their wives’ backs.
“I open my DMs everyday and someone is trying to creep onto me,” the Hertfordshire resident told Mirror in October.
“It is highly embarrassing when I see their wives at the local pub or shop,” she added.
The former glamor model claimed these wives were “all so smug” but don’t even realise that their husbands were DM-ing her.
While the wives “snigger” at her, Bellucci advised them to “wake up” and “step up” their game.
“She’s always in the media for one thing or another…” one commented online
