Raven Alexis faked having stage IV terminal brain cancer?

Rumours are frothing up fast & furious that infamous adult-star (and ex-member of this very site) Raven Alexis faked her brain cancer. She went from claiming she?d be dead by Christmas (from Stage 4 liver cancer that spread to her brain), and accepting support, gifts, etc? to being ?miraculously cured? via some alkaline-heavy mineral water, and back in front of cameras a month or so later.

Personally, as someone battling (very real) cancer, this concerns and disgusts me, that someone would even consider faking a terminal brain cancer for attention/gifts/money, trivialising the severity of the disease and insulting every single person who has battled cancer, or had a loved one die from it.

Now, obviously, I can?t confirm whether she did or did not have cancer, but the talk around the net is not looking very good for her.

From forum discussions (NSFW site) to lots of different tweets from various friends and fans of hers saying how upset they are that she faked it all, there?s an almost constant stream of people saying that they know she faked it.

Raven seems to be on the warpath to defend herself too, pushing to have this article published that goes on and on about how she?s a struggling single mum (she actually doesn?t have custody of her kids, and only has visitation to them, her ex-husband has them), and talking about how she?s struggling to make ends meet now that she?s given up the adult industry? even though she?s selling herself for $1700 a night, and is active on MFC?

? but at the same time, she has tried to wipe every trace of her ever having cancer off the net.

Her Facebook page has been deleted, which was the hub of her ?I have cancer? interaction with fans? she had been sharing hundreds of cancer quotes, blogs, pictures of her with a shaved head, etc, bathing in the attention and pity thrown at her by legitimately-upset fans and friends.

She wiped her Twitter account of all cancer-related tweets (but you can never really delete stuff off the net), then locked her Twitter account down. Her recently-ex-boyfriend very publicly broke up with her and kicked her out of the house, recently ranting on Twitter about how ?she lied about everything?.

These don?t seem like the sorts of things you do, if you?ve got nothing to hide.

As a person currently going through my own battle with cancer, I understand how traumatic it can be, and people do some weird stuff with the inevitable PTSD that comes from chemo, surgeries, and facing your mortality. It?s just a really really disturbing thing to read, that hit home hard for me, as when she originally said she had cancer I was really feeling for her (she?s a friend-of-a-friend).

If you really did have cancer Raven, PLEASE bury these rumours and just show everyone some proof. I know it seems cruel when people are spreading stuff about you, to have to defend yourself, but if that?s what it takes to shut them all up? just do it.

On the other hand, if the rumours ARE true, and the whole thing was faked? well? fuck you.
