Yolanda Hadid is showing her support for daughter Bella Hadid.

The reality TV star discussed her daughter’s ongoing struggle with Lyme disease, following Bella’s recent emotional photos from the hospital on September 17th. Yolanda described Bella as incredibly strong, noting she’s persevered through another month of treatment for the tick-borne illness.

In a post on September 18th, Yolanda described the immense suffering her friend has endured since being diagnosed in 2013, saying no words could truly capture the depth of the pain and uncertainty. She explained that her friend hasn’t been able to fully live, but has instead learned to simply cope with the limitations of their condition.

Yolanda, who is also mother to Gigi Hadid, 30, and Anwar Hadid, 26, continued, saying she was incredibly proud of her child’s strength. She assured them they weren’t alone and promised to support them through everything, for as long as it takes.

The former star of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* shared that seeing her daughter suffer privately has been incredibly painful and left her feeling deeply hopeless.

She wrote to Bella, telling her she was incredibly strong and brave. She acknowledged that no child should have to live with a serious, long-term illness, and expressed her admiration for Bella’s courage and determination to keep seeking health, even after so many treatments hadn’t worked.

In the end, Yolanda said she’ll stay with the supermodel while doctors and scientists work to find a treatment.

She didn’t reveal her diagnosis until 2025, sharing on Instagram that she had privately struggled with it for over ten years.

She explained that growing up, many of us are told to expect pain with our periods and to accept it as a normal part of womanhood. This often leaves us dealing with a common issue in silence and feeling isolated.

 

In July 2025, the actress from *Daisy Jones & The Six* revealed she was hospitalized for a hernia. This happened because she’d been wearing pants that were too tight, which caused a gap to form in her abdominal muscles.

Okay, so Suki hasn’t posted on X (formerly Twitter) in *forever*, and it’s killing me! Then, out of nowhere, she replies to someone saying… get this… she’s been hiding a hernia?! Apparently, six months ago I made her wear pants *so* tight it caused one, and she’s been too afraid to tell *me*?! I’m seriously losing it. It’s both hilarious and terrifying, and I just… I need to know more. Is she okay? And why did she wear those pants?! I’m obsessed.

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying his body has some minor imperfections and isn’t quite working as it should.

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital in extreme pain, literally crawling because of a severe back issue that flared up during a road trip with a friend.

He described a lingering tingling sensation in his knees and toes as of March 2025, sharing this on his *Trading Secrets* podcast. He explained that just two or three weeks prior, he’d been squatting 295 pounds, but now he couldn’t even do a basic squat or stand on one foot without falling. He compared the feeling to having had a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped, checked her over, and drove her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one of the shots narrowly missed her right eye, coming within an inch.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, despite its downsides, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing comments about her “puffy” face during interviews, she was surprised to see doctors commenting, suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome. They pointed out changes in her face that concerned them, leading Amy to realize she’d been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section – injections that ultimately caused the syndrome. She wouldn’t have known about it without the online feedback. Amy recently shared that she’s relieved to learn her condition will resolve on its own and that she is healthy.

He said, and it really resonated with me, that it’s something no parent ever wants to experience. It was a scary situation, and they feel incredibly lucky it wasn’t worse.

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin. She suddenly started having stroke-like symptoms, unable to speak and noticing her face drooping. Although her symptoms briefly subsided, she went to the hospital for evaluation. Doctors discovered she’d had a small blood clot travel to her brain, which they identified as a TIA, or transient ischemic attack. Further testing at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). This hole allowed the blood clot to reach her brain, causing the TIA. Hailey has since undergone a successful procedure to close the hole in her heart and is now recovering well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also went through a difficult time. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that caused paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained the virus affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on the affected side. He also shared that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey shared on *Good Morning America* that Justin was recovering well, and while the situation had been frightening, he was going to be okay and was thankfully doing much better.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had previously kept private. In his 2024 Netflix special, *What Had Happened Was…*, he explained that he suffered a severe headache while in Atlanta and lost consciousness before he could take an aspirin. He doesn’t remember the next 20 days.

Initially, a doctor gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, was worried and took him to the hospital. Doctors discovered he had a brain bleed which led to a stroke.

After surgery, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair on May 4th, unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for the prayers he received, saying, “I needed every prayer.”

The reality TV star said she briefly stopped breathing while running a mile during the first challenge on the NBC show.

She shared on the show *Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser* that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, she remembered only darkness, followed by light, leading her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where the body essentially begins to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in *Game of Thrones*, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for *The New Yorker*. While filming the show, she experienced a sudden, severe headache while at the gym. She described collapsing and becoming violently ill, realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan quickly revealed a subarachnoid hemorrhage – a life-threatening stroke caused by bleeding around the brain. She had suffered an aneurysm, a rupture in an artery. Immediate surgery was required to repair it, but the pain was excruciating.

During her recovery, Emilia experienced aphasia, leaving her unable to speak coherently. Thankfully, this passed after a week, and she was discharged from the hospital a month later. However, a 2013 scan revealed the growth had doubled in size, necessitating a second surgery.

This second procedure was unsuccessful, leading to a massive bleed and a critical situation. Doctors warned her that another operation – this time requiring them to access her brain directly through her skull – was her only chance of survival. Fortunately, Emilia has since made a full recovery and is now at 100%.

Cori is now recovering well, saying she’s doing great and has been working to regain some motor skills. She’s thankful for her family’s unwavering support during a difficult time.

In a September 2024 podcast interview, she explained that she experienced hearing loss, extreme fatigue, and digestive problems. She saw many doctors who offered conflicting diagnoses, leading her on a ten-year quest for answers.

With a background in herbalism and holistic medicine, Shailene sought help from both traditional doctors and alternative healers. She wanted to find a way to feel comfortable and safe in her own body.
