Brooks Ayers Admits 'Fabricating' Hospital Documents To Prove Cancer
Nov. 11 2015, Updated 2:18 p.m. ET
Brooks Ayers finally comes clean! After City of Hope Hospital revealed that the reality star had never been a patient at their facility, the reality star admitted in an exclusive statement to E! News that he faked his medical documents.
"Words cannot express the deep regret that I have in fabricating documents to 'prove' to the world that I, in fact, have cancer. What I did was wrong and inexcusable. I acted alone, without Vicki Gunvalson's knowledge, to produce documents for a reality TV show in hopes of putting doubts about my cancer to rest," Ayers told E! News exclusively on Wednesday.
"I never intended to disclose my actual medical records or details about my private and personal medical history, thus the rationalization of presenting documents that weren't true simply for a 'storyline' for the show."
"From this day forward, my own personal journey with this disease will remain private as I initially intended over a year ago," he continued. "My sincerest apologies to my family, friends, loved ones, and those who are battling this horrid disease for any additional pain and/or stress that I have caused."

"As University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino once said, 'Mistakes can be good. They are fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching life, I've learned from making mistakes.' I made a mistake yet I have learned a huge lesson as well," Ayers concluded.
Meanwhile, as RadarOnline.com previously reported, ex Vicki Gunvalson confessed during the shocking Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special that her "gut" told her that Ayers had duped her about his cancer diagnosis, though the fickle reality star has changed her story numerous times since, Ayers claimed.
