Real World: D.C. Columbia Grad Fakes Cancer

Confession from a reality-TV drama queen

Brace yourselves for the new reality show drama queen. 

One of the Real World: D.C. housemates, Erika Lauren Wasilewski, 22 -- an Illinois native and Columbia College grad -- has admitted to faking cancer just to get attention from an ex-boyfriend.

Blog buzz started spreading before the MTV show started when the blog Shabooty.com revealed the dirt.

And then, when asked by TimeOut if the allegations were true, she responded, β€œUm, there is some truth to what you’re hearing. Yes, it happened. Yes, I regret it. If I could take it back, I would. I was going through some severe emotional problems at the time. I was lashing out and craving attention wherever I could.”

Seems like some people really will go to any extreme to get their fifteen minutes of fame.
