Things that suggest the rumor is untrue are that the media had reason to tarnish Leigh and Curtis ' reputations at that time, since their careers were no longer hugely successful.
Even if the speculation is true, the fact is that the issue is not all that rare. 1 out of 2000 to 3000 births each year show a large enough deformity where significant surgical correction would be recommended, with about 1 in 100 births showing some lesser form of ambiguity.

The only people who know for certain what medical problems Curtis might have experienced at birth are Curtis herself, her parents, and her doctors.
