UPDATE – Did Erika Lauren Wasilewski leave Real World Washington D.C. because she lied about having skin cancer?
I was doing a little background research on the cast members of MTV’s The Real World Washington, D.C. diligently looking for some skeletons in the closet so I could flex my Pulitzer-worthy journalism muscles when I stumbled onto a thread about Erika Lauren Wasilewski on vevmo.com that made my mind implode! The discussion there started after the web site shabooty.com published an email allegedly from Erika’s former boyfriend Billy who claimed she started telling her friends she had skin cancer shortly after he broke up with her back in 2006.
Erika reportedly left the show in the middle of the season and some speculate it was partially because her roommates caught wind of the cancer lie.
