T-Boz gives an update on her health after she cancelled two of her recent shows.
The TLC group member previously spoke out after she was diagnosed with severe abdominal blockage. “After delivering an electric performance in Toledo, Ohio on Thursday, TLC was eagerly anticipating their next stop at the New York State Fair in Syracuse,”
“However, shortly after arriving in Syracuse, Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins experienced sudden and severe nausea, vomiting, and intense abdominal cramps. She was immediately seen by a doctor and subsequently taken to the hospital for further evaluation.”
“Last evening, Tionne was diagnosed with a severe abdominal blockage, necessitating the cancellation of both the Syracuse and Foxwoods performances. She remains in the hospital under medical supervision but is expected to be released tomorrow. The doctor verified this was not food poisoning, but an abdominal blockage….The decision to cancel was made under the advisement of her physician, who required her to stay in the hospital overnight to undergo a CT scan to assess the severity of her condition.”
T-Boz later gave fans an update. Sharing a video via Instagram she says people’s reaction to her condition was “disheartening”. She expresses, “People have died from what I just went through.”
She also shuts down claims that she’s on ozempic and that her recent illness has anything to do with her sickle cell.
“Stop associating my name with sickle cell. I am Tionne Watkins, I just happen to have a disease, but it’s not who I am or all that I am.”
“The ignorance is disheartening to me because I would just pray for people or if I have nothing to say, I would just shut the hell up and say nothing at all but y’all don’t know how to f–king do that.”
