Major scoop in today's Page Six: Gambino mob daughter and reality show darling Victoria Gotti is a liar. And while we normally admire liars for their loyalty to the art of fabrication, we're not fans of individuals who lie about just to obtain some public pity. Victoria Gotti, it seems, has done exactly that — which pretty much breaks our little hearts, as we had always loved Victoria like no other.

After claiming in numerous instances and forums that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer (thus, it's assumed, prompting a leave of absence from her column at Star), Gotti is changing her story. Did she say diagnosis? Oh, oops, she meant scare. She had a breast cancer scare, nothing major.

While we're hurt by Victoria's chicanery, these Gotti folk do mix up words all the time. Sleep with the fishes? No, no, John Junior said Please do the dishes. Simple mistake, really.
