Bhad Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, admitted to fans this week that she has been diagnosed with cancer, following comments on her appearance.

The American rapper and former viral star made the admission to stop the ‘worst narratives’ surrounding her changing appearance.

Bregoli, 21, is best known as the ‘cash me outside’ girl after her outrageous appearance on talk show Dr. Phil, when she was just 13 years old.

With over 15.8 million followers on Instagram, it’s fair to say that the ‘Gucci Flip Flops’ rapper is more than a one-hit wonder in the celebrity space.

Many of her fans have voiced worry and concern over the star’s change in appearance in recent weeks, joking about her eating habits or use of weight-loss drugs.

This led to the 21-year-old to posting a message explaining her health on Thursday (7 November) via social media.

“I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me loose (sic) weight,” she wrote on her Instagram story, adding that she is ‘slowly gaining it back’.

One of her family members then confirmed the claims to TMZ on Friday (8 November) morning, adding that Bregoli is receiving treatment from a doctor.

Bregoli’s mother, Barbara Bregoli, also called out trolls and bloggers after they commented on the musician’s health update.

One gossip blogger was criticised after he suggested that she ‘pulled a Lil Tay’, who is a viral star once caught up in a fake death scandal.

Barbara took to Instagram to fire back at the writer, saying: “I pray to God one of your children never get cancer. I’ve had it twice. How dare you say my daughter’s faking this.”

The mother then openly shared her own past experience with cancer and the medication she had to take.

“For all those individuals commenting on cancer and cancer meds just bloating you this was me one year after my 1st diagnosis,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself, looking slender in a black top and white skirt, revealing that she too had to suffer the consequences of the deadly disease.

In a short message to trolls and people online, she also asked people to ‘stop with your assumptions!!!’

LADbible has reached out to Bhad Bhabie’s representatives for a comment.

The 20-year-old – who has made a fortune on OnlyFans – took to social media this evening (1 December) to share the good news.

The phrase has since become a viral meme.

Nowadays, Bregoli is making staggering amount of money on OnlyFans.

Within eight months, Bregoli earned a whopping $38.6 million.

And within the first month of joining the platform, she made $18 million.

As soon as Bregoli turned 18 years old, she decided to venture into OnlyFans – a business decision that has more than paid off.

“I wasn’t really thinking much of it at the time,” she said.

“But I was actually broke as f**k before I started OnlyFans.

“My mom was in control of my money, so she was doing whatever she wanted to do, and I had a $500 limit on my card.”

Now her finances are in a great place, Bhabie looks to be focusing on having a family after sharing two mirror selfies of her baby bump on Instagram today.

“From bhadbhabie to bhadmhommy,” one fan commented.

Another said: “She’s gonna have a girl and 15 years from now she gone give you everything you gave your mom!!!!! “Cach me outside” how bout dat?”

A third added: “Baby first words gonna be catch me outside how bout dat.”

The internet meme turned influencer and rapper has lifted the lid on her appearance on the talk show and her rise to fame.

Bha Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, shot to fame at the age of 13 following her appearance on American talk show, Dr. Phil.

You may remember as almost anyone and everyone was saying it: “Cash me ousside [sic], how ’bout that?”

Well, if you don’t remember, have a look:

The whole appearance was outrageous, but that one iconic line stuck out, holding a place in many people’s minds, to this day.

It propelled the teenager to viral status, providing the foundation on which she built the fame and success that she has today.

But it turns out that Bregoli had no idea that any of that was happening, as she had been sent off to a camp for troubled teens in Utah called Turn-About-Ranch following the show.

The social media influencer revealed last year that she didn’t know that she had become a meme.

Bregoli revealed on Emily Ratajowski’s High Low With EmRata podcast in 2023: “Imagine you get home from being in this f**king f**ked up place for f**king six months and then you open your phone and go on Facebook and all you see is yourself, and you’re 13.”

Talking about how off guard she was at the social media attention, she said: “I didn’t kill nobody. I didn’t touch nobody kid. I didn’t kill no puppy.

“Why am I here? Even the worst of the worst don’t get treated like that.”

It may have just been an initial reaction though, as we all know now that she didn’t let it weigh her down, instead taking advantage of the opportunity.

Following her viral appearance on the show, Bregoli started a rap career under the name ‘Bhad Bhabie’, which she is better known as today.

She signed a deal with Atlantic Records after breaking into the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘These Heaux’, secured deals with beauty brands, got her own reality TV show on TMZ and eventually, started an OnlyFans account on her 18th birthday.

On the 18+ site, she managed to allegedly made $18 million (£14 million) in her first month, following an amount of over $1 million (£790,000) on her first day, off the back of her $23.99 (£18.88) a month subscriptions.

She was later asked by Caleb Pressley for Barstool Sports’ Sundae Conversation whether those who subscribed to her OnlyFans right away ‘should be in jail’, to which she replied: “Yeah.”

Bregoli also gave birth to her first child last week.

‘Cash me outside, how ’bout that?’ – the phrase that seemed to rule 2016, and the phrase that catapulted Bhad Bhabie, aka Danielle Bregoli, to stardom.

The then 13-year-old’s phrase on an episode of Dr. Phil made its way into meme culture, and even inspired a hip-hop song of the same name.

As well as becoming a rapper, she even secured brand deals with beauty companies, a reality TV show with TMZ and eventually, she started an OnlyFans account.

Just six days after her 18th birthday in April 2021, after much build-up, she launched her account, making an astounding amount of dosh on her first day alone.

She later revealed exactly how much she made throughout 2021 on the site.

Bregoli took to Instagram to reveal the eye-watering amount she made through OnlyFans subscriptions, revealing through screenshots which appeared to show her earnings from 2021 that she made $18 million (£14 million) in her first month, following an amount of over $1 million (£790,000) on her first day.

However, the 20-year-old made a total of $6.8 million (£5.3 million) in May 2021, with each monthly income steadily declining. Still, it’s a shed load of money either way.

A monthly subscription to her account sets users back $23.99 (£19), highlighting just how many people went over to subscribe to her NSFW content.

Bregoli was a guest on Emily Ratajkowski’s High Low podcast in 2023, revealing that her OnlyFans earnings saved her from being broke.

She explained: “I wasn’t really thinking much of it at the time, but I was actually broke as f**k before I started OnlyFans.

“My mom was in control of my money, so she was doing whatever she wanted to do, and I had a $500 limit on my card.”

Talking about the money she earned, she said: “It just kept coming and coming, I was just like, ‘sh*t’.”

Bhad Bhabie also spoke to Rolling Stone, saying that she has more control over her time and her life following her success thus far.

“I’m not gonna give nobody a set time on things,

“I might wake up one day and go into the studio and make a whole album. I might not do that for the next 10 years. I go about things how I feel.… That’s why I stay to myself so much. I’m trying to learn myself.”

Trevor Sorbie has cut the hair of celebrities for decades, with famous clients including Dame Helen Mirren, George Harrison, and the Beach Boys. He also created the wedge cut, which you will know by image if not by name.

But now, aged 75, Sorbie has revealed he does not have long left to live and might not make it to Christmas due to how quickly his cancer is taking over his body.

Then, during a scan in September, Sorbie’s wife Carole revealed that they realised ‘no treatment is going to work’.

Now, in an interview with The Times published last weekend, Sorbie and his partner – who he describes as ‘Florence Nightingale and Mother Teresa rolled into one’ – revealed he had ignored key symptoms of the cancer for months.

The couple said that in 2019 Carole had been forced to ring for an ambulance after he began bleeding heavily.

Sorbie said he had no symptoms of the cancer but was quickly corrected by Carole, who said he had diarrhoea and constipation for months.

“I’m a man. Men are scared,” he candidly replied.

Surgery saw a mass in Sorbie’s bowel removed, with just a five percent chance of the tumour coming back. Tragically, Sorbie was in that five percent.

And while being told he might not be here at Christmas, Sorbie is remaining positive and hopes to make it to the big day.

“I never wake up thinking, ‘Oh, poor me. I’ve got cancer I feel sorry for myself’,” he said on This Morning.

“I go to work, well up until two weeks ago, two days a week, and I go there because that’s my medicine. That is my life – 60 years. I’ve worked passionately to achieve beyond my wildest dreams, actually, and when I go in it’s my staff, I’ve had them for up to 30 years, they’re family. I’m just one of the team.”

Sorbie’s chemotherapy treatment has come to an end but he regularly takes steroid injections to stop the pain and inflammation in his body from getting too much. But it is treatment that has given him ‘mad insomnia’, he says.

Under the NHS, bowel cancer screening tests can be done at home and checks for signs of bowel cancer. It’s offered to everyone aged 54 to 74.
