Brigitte Nielsen reveals son tumour pain
BRIGITTE Nielsen has revealed her son has a brain tumour.
The 47-year-old Danish actress, once married to Sylvester Stallone, broke down as she spoke of Raoul’s condition to Day & Night at the Trust in Fashion fundraiser.
Just weeks after joining the Rainbow Trust charity which helps sick children and their families she got a call saying her son, diagnosed with a benign brain tumour at nine, had been re-diagnosed at 16.
The mother of four, a star of Celebrity Big Brother in 2005, said: “He’s being operated on next week. I’m going down to Milan to see him.”
Three years ago Brigitte called herself an “awful mother” on TV show Celebrity Rehab.
She said: “He suffered tumours for two years and he was suicidal. I wasn’t there… but I know how much I love him.”
