What happened to Mary DeNuccio? ‘90 Day Fiance’ star Brandan DeNuccio’s fundraiser fails as ‘colon cancer’ claims get debunked
EUGENE, OREGON: Brandan DeNuccio, the star of '90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way,' shared a plea for donations on Instagram, revealing that his wife, Mary DeNuccio, had been diagnosed with colon cancer.
He asked followers to contribute to cover the costs of her surgery, claiming it was necessary to "save her life." However, the fundraising page was shut down after fans raised doubts about their claims.
Mary later posted a statement on her Instagram Story, retracting her initial diagnosis and apologizing for the confusion.
She clarified that a doctor had informed her about a "colon issue," leading her to panic and mistakenly believe she had colon cancer. Mary acknowledged her mistake, expressed her remorse, and requested people to stop harassing her.
Despite the financial struggles discussed on the TLC spin-off, the fundraising page raised skepticism among fans.
The couple clarified that they did not receive confirmation of the diagnosis but were experiencing symptoms consistent with colon cancer.
The fundraising campaign was halted, and doubts were cast on the authenticity of their claims. “I got an anxiety attack and I thought I had colon cancer and posted it without thinking. It’s my fault and I’m very sorry about it,” Mary clarified.
“I’m just a human. I’m in pain right now and the pain won’t go away. I kept throwing up and I felt so weak. The doctor says my liver is inflamed and I have a blood infection, UTI, and hemorrhoids. We are still waiting for another laboratory test for my colon," she added.
