Paris Jackson Gets Ultrasound After Fans Voice Concerns About Her Neck

by

Paris Jackson has avoided a medical horror story. 

To ease fans’ worries after they noticed something in a recent photo, the 28-year-old shared that she had an ultrasound.

She shared on Instagram on May 16th that she was getting an ultrasound to investigate her lymph nodes, after followers noticed a strange appearance in her neck on a recent post, according to People magazine.

To convince her fans, the American Horror Stories actress posted a photo showing an ultrasound device being used on her neck. She clarified in a later video that a medical professional had examined her at her recording studio.

Paris acknowledged the comments were upsetting, but she reassured everyone, saying she believed it was just a normal part of her anatomy and they were worrying her unnecessarily.

The singer, known for her song “Let Down,” was relieved to learn her throat appeared healthy, and she shared these findings in a follow-up post.

She mentioned on May 17th that her vocal cords were only a little bit red, but thankfully, she hadn’t developed any calluses from singing.

Paris explained the appearance of her neck, saying it’s due to years of vocal training. She mentioned that singers often develop visible neck muscles from frequently using them.

“It’s just a little bit more obvious in me,” she concluded, “because I’m skinny.”

Once her medical tests showed no problems, the former star of Swarm seemed cheerful and even joked about her muscular neck on Instagram.

Now that she’s no longer worried about her health, the singer can finally share her new project, “teenage drama,” which comes out on May 22nd.

Paris has been sharing stories about her teenage years to get fans excited for her upcoming music. She recently posted on Instagram about being homeschooled, writing that she’s remembering those times as the release date gets closer.

Read on to see some of the other health battles celebrities have endured over the years…

In May 2026, the host of the BFFs podcast had emergency surgery when doctors found a large cyst on her ovary. The cyst had twisted her organs and was causing internal bleeding.

After surgery, Brianna explained in a TikTok video that doctors discovered about half a liter of blood inside her pelvic area. She also said she had five cuts on her stomach, and the surgeons used a camera inserted through her belly button to locate the source of the bleeding.

Former Total Bellas star Nikki Bella shared that one of her breast implants moved after being hit during an elbow slam by fellow wrestler Piper Niven in a match that took place in July 2025.

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, saying they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she retired from her current job, she’d return to address the problem and make sure everything looked its best, because she anticipated future activity and didn’t want things to look bad.

Lupita Nyong’o, known for her role in 12 Years a Slave, received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids—benign growths in or around the uterus—in 2014, the year she won an Academy Award for her performance in the film.

She didn’t share her diagnosis until 2025, when she revealed on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with the condition for over ten years.

She explained that many girls are taught to accept period pain as a normal part of being a woman. This often leaves them 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 in her abdominal muscles.

Someone messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter) asking why she hadn’t tweeted in a while. Suki jokingly replied, suggesting she’d been hiding a serious injury – a hernia caused by overly tight pants six months ago – and was afraid to mention it.

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery because his appendix was close to rupturing.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain which led him to the emergency room. He explained he had a perforated appendix – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

A Racing Louisville midfielder fell to the ground early in her team’s game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, before suddenly collapsing. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.

Savannah received immediate medical attention on the field and was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests, according to a statement from the National Women’s Soccer League. They reported that she is currently in stable condition and is alert.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from being hit by a cement truck at age 11 continue to cause him problems even now.

“It’s been incredibly difficult,” Devine shared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast in 2025. “I’ve been experiencing spasms all over my body, and doctors recently told me I was facing a life-threatening situation—within the past year, actually.”

He explained that his pain is intermittent, and mentioned he has some minor physical issues. He described his body as having “a few things that are a little wonky and a little wrong.”

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe what I just read! Apparently, he was in SO much back pain – like, seriously debilitating – that he actually had to crawl to the hospital! It happened during an RV trip with a friend, which just made it even worse. I’m so worried about him!

He described a lingering tingling sensation in his knees and toes, saying it was “crazy” that he still felt it in March 2025. To illustrate how significant this was, he explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he’d been squatting around 295 pounds. Now, he couldn’t even do a squat, couldn’t balance on one leg, and would fall over, describing the feeling as if he’d had a stroke.

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

Gina Kirschenheiter, from The Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is recovering well.

In March 2025, the actor from 30 Rock experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

The comedian later posted on social media to explain that he hadn’t been feeling well due to food poisoning, but was now recovering.

In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was accidentally shot in the face during a birthday celebration for her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a clay pigeon shooting trip when the incident occurred.

According to her Instagram post, she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a gun unsafely. She said @thebrendanrooney quickly helped her and took her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet came dangerously close to her right eye – less than an inch away.

The Kim Possible actor explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind their eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, but they will keep monitoring the situation, as their vision is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving a frightening experience. She shared how much she cherishes her daughters, husband, family, and friends, explaining that facing a life-threatening situation made her realize how quickly things can change. She urged everyone to hug their loved ones often, emphasizing the preciousness of life.

While the internet isn’t always a kind place, Amy Schumer is happy that, in this case, it helped her get answers.

“The internet really came for me after doing a bunch of press, and I was like, ‘OK everybody, relax,'” Amy recalled of her “puffier” face on a January 2025 episode of Call Her Daddy. “But then doctors were chiming in in the comments and they were like, ‘No no, we think something’s really up. Your face looks so crazy that we think something’s up. And I’m like, ‘Wait, I’m getting trolled by doctors?’”

After these doctors said they thought she had Cushing syndrome and that it may be caused by spiking coritsol levels or steroid injections, the Life & Beth creator thought, “Wait, I have been getting steroid injections in my scars.”

“I had a breast reduction, a C-section, whatever, and so I was getting these steroid injections,” Amy said. “So it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome, which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard.”

Toda, Amy is just relieved she’s OK. As she shared in a February 2024 News Not Noise newsletter, “Finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I’m healthy was the greatest news imaginable.”

During a game in December 2024, an AHL player was accidentally cut in the face by another player’s skate and needed 25 stitches to close the wound. After his son made a full recovery, New Jersey Devils General Manager Tom Fitzgerald told ESPN, “We feel incredibly lucky. No parent should ever have to go through something like that.”

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly developed stroke-like symptoms, initially unable to respond when Justin asked if she was alright. She then realized she couldn’t speak and the right side of her face began to droop.

Although the symptoms eventually subsided, Hailey went to the hospital and tests revealed she had experienced a small blood clot in her brain, which doctors identified as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).

Further examination at UCLA uncovered a hole in her heart, called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Doctors determined the blood clot had traveled through this hole and to her brain, causing the TIA.

Hailey underwent a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now recovering well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also experienced one. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary 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 that 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 had become increasingly difficult to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually subsided. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well, calling the situation scary but assuring everyone he would be completely fine and was grateful he was on the mend.

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 from a severe headache one day while in Atlanta. He asked for aspirin, but lost consciousness before he could take it, and 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. There, they 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 went 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 in the first challenge of the NBC competition show, describing the experience as feeling like ‘dying’.

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 series, she experienced a severe headache at the gym, followed by intense pain and vomiting. She quickly realized something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan revealed she had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage – a life-threatening stroke caused by bleeding around the brain – due to a ruptured aneurysm. She underwent immediate surgery to repair it, describing the pain as unbearable. During her recovery, she experienced aphasia, causing her to struggle with speech and mumble.

Although the aphasia eventually passed and she was discharged after a month, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had doubled in size, requiring a second surgery. This procedure initially failed, leading to a massive bleed and putting her life at risk. Doctors had to perform a more invasive surgery, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia reports that she has now made a full recovery and is at 100%.

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, is thankful for the support of her family. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and her loved ones immediately came to her side. She told TopMob News’ Will Marfuggi that she simply texted her family with a picture, and they all rushed to help. Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to other health issues, including problems with her lupus and kidneys. Fortunately, Cori is now recovering well. She shared that she’s feeling great and has been working to regain some motor skills, but is otherwise doing fine.

Shailene Woodley struggled with serious health issues throughout her 20s. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she described losing her hearing, being unable to walk for more than a few minutes without needing hours of rest, and experiencing constant stomach pain. She faced a confusing array of diagnoses and conflicting advice from doctors.

Determined to find answers, Woodley, who prefers to keep her specific condition private, combined traditional medical care with holistic and herbal remedies. This search for well-being lasted for ten years.

The physical discomfort led to emotional challenges, including fear of food and struggles with body image and identity. Woodley described a difficult mental experience stemming from her physical health problems.

Fortunately, after years of focusing on both her physical and mental health, Shailene is now feeling much better and considers herself very healthy. She expressed relief and happiness to be in a good place.
