“Man, I almost died.” That’s how Jamie Foxx described his 2023 health emergency during an October 5 interview with Good Morning America’s Will Reeve. Three years later, the actor and comedian is back onstage and still processing how close he came to dying. “I was almost outta here,” he said. Foxx first explained the medical crisis in his December 2024 Netflix special, What Had Happened Was…, revealing that a brain bleed had led to a stroke. Now 58, he’s back with a new Hulu special, Take Care of Yourself, and sharing more about the people who helped him survive and how the experience changed the way he lives and works. Related story Martin Short Shares a Heartbreaking Update on Grieving His Late Daughter Katherine What Happened to Jamie Foxx in April 2023? Foxx was in Atlanta filming Back in Action when things took a frightening turn. “April 11, I was having a bad headache, and I asked my boy for an aspirin,” he recalled in his Netflix special. “Before I could get the aspirin, I went out.” Not long after, he was rushed to the hospital. At the time, his family said very little. In a now-deleted Instagram post written on the family’s behalf, his daughter Corinne Foxx said he had “experienced a medical complication” and was already on his way to recovery “due to quick action and great care.” The family kept everything else private. The Brain Bleed, the Stroke, and the 20 Days He Can’t Remember What Had Happened Was… marked the first time Foxx spoke openly about what caused his hospitalization, per WSB-TV. He walked the audience through what he’s been able to piece together, starting with a pretty startling admission: “I don’t remember 20 days.” According to Foxx, the first doctor he saw missed what was really going on. He got a cortisone shot and was sent home. His sister wasn’t buying it. “That ain’t my brother right there,” she said. She drove him to a hospital, where doctors found the brain bleed and said he needed an operation to survive. Foxx said he woke up on May 4 in a wheelchair, unable to walk, and didn’t believe he’d had a stroke. He later went to Chicago for rehab. Even after all that, some answers are still missing. “We still don’t know exactly what happened to me,” Foxx said in the special. He hasn’t shared a more specific diagnosis than “brain bleed” and “stroke,” or exactly how long he stayed in the hospital. Why Foxx Says He Has ‘Unfinished Business’ The most emotional part of Foxx’s 2026 update was his return to the people who cared for him. “I went back to see those nurses that kept me alive,” he told Reeve. One of them called him “a miracle” and “a three percenter.” When he asked what that meant, she said, “Less than 3% of people that come in with what you have walk out of here.” Foxx also credited his close circle of friends and loved ones with helping him recover: “They saw me at my most, you know, vulnerable. I had to depend on people.” According to ABC News, Foxx feels he has “unfinished business,” and he’s channeling it into stand-up. “I went through some stuff and I’m gonna tell it as funny as I can, but as real as I can,” he said. He’s also feeling more creative than ever. “I’ve never been as creative as I am now,” he said, adding that there are still “some things that I’m really trying to get at.” What Jamie Foxx Does Differently Now Some of what’s changed is physical. In a recent interview with BET News, Foxx looked back on a moment from about 10 years ago, when he was 48 and trying to get back in shape. “My doctor banned me from lifting weights. A few years ago. Cause I couldn’t hold my swole,” Foxx told Young. He said he’d spend roughly four hours bench pressing, and right after, his muscles looked bigger. “I kind of puffed up,” Foxx continued. “I said, ‘Oh yeah, I’m back.’” But when he caught his reflection on the way to his car, the pumped-up look was already gone. “I said, what was it four hours for?” His doctor pointed to his age as the reason, handed him a bag of resistance bands, and said, “That’s your new workout plan.” His comedy has changed, too. Ahead of Take Care of Yourself, Foxx told The Hollywood Reporter that he cut material after seeing the backlash to some of the jokes at Kevin Hart’s roast, including a widely criticized joke about George Floyd’s murder, which Foxx said he didn’t like either. “After that Kevin Hart roast, I had to cut everything,” he said. When “you see people respond to certain things, you go, ‘Okay, man, maybe we need to tuck that away,’” he told the outlet. How to Watch Jamie Foxx’s Specials in Order For the full story, start with What Had Happened Was… on Netflix for his first onstage account of the health scare. Next, watch his GMA interview with Reeve. Then move on to Jamie Foxx: Take Care of Yourself on Hulu, a follow-up to the Netflix special that explores self-care, aging, and personal growth. Take Care of Yourself premiered on Hulu on October 7, 2026, and it’s clear Foxx isn’t done telling his story. He still can’t remember 20 days of his life, but he hasn’t forgotten the nurse who told him his odds of walking out of the hospital were “less than 3%.” Source link
Martin Short Shares Heartbreaking Update on Late Daughter Katherine
Martin Short is sharing the painful reality of navigating life after the loss of a child. On Wednesday, Oct. 14, the 76-year-old actor attended the fourth annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles. During the charity event, his Only Murders in the Building co-star Selena Gomez took the stage to debut a new award dedicated to Short’s daughter, Katherine, who died by suicide at age 42 in February. “It has been a very difficult year for me, needless to say,” Short told the crowd. “It has been the heartbreak of our family, as you can imagine.” Related story Demi Lovato Says It’s Not ‘Realistic’ to Think She’ll Ever Be ‘Fully Healed’ From Eating Disorder Katherine Short and Martin Short attend Vanity Fair’s 17th annual Oscars party at the Sunset Tower Hotel in 2011. WWD Honoring a Life of Service Gomez created “The Katherine Short Legacy Award” to recognize individuals making a tangible impact in their communities. “Marty has been my friend for many years, and I know how deeply he loves his family,” Gomez said before inviting him up to present the inaugural honor. “I’m very grateful that he’s here tonight to help us present it for the first time.” When Short joined her at the microphone, he praised her as “one of the most brilliant women in the world” before turning his focus to Katherine’s memory. He told the audience that his daughter worked as a clinical social worker and spent her career advocating for open, compassionate conversations around mental health. Reframing Mental Illness as a Disease Short also spoke about how society views psychological struggles. He compared his daughter’s experience to the ovarian cancer battle that claimed the life of his late wife, Nancy Dolman, in 2010. “Katherine fought for so long with extreme mental health issues, borderline personality [disorder], other things — and she did the best she could until she couldn’t,” Short shared. “Mental health and cancer, which took my wife, for example, are both diseases. They are diseases, and sometimes diseases are terminal.” He emphasized that psychological conditions are “simply an illness” that should never be hidden in the shadows or treated as a source of family embarrassment. While Short acknowledged that the grief will never fully go away, he found comfort in a quote from Dolly Parton. “The great Dolly Parton once said, ‘Grief is love with no place to go,’” he told the crowd. “My pain about losing my daughter will always be present in my heart, and I think that’s simply because what we deeply love we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.” Source link
E-Bike & E-Scooter Injuries Rising Among Teens & Kids: What to Know
It’s no secret why e-scooters and e-bikes are so popular, especially with kids and teens. Easy-to-ride, convenient, quick — you won’t get bogged down in traffic jams or lose your breath pedaling up a hill, and there’s no driver’s license required. And now that they’re rentable through companies like Citi Bike and Lime, hitching a ride is as easy as picking a bike or scooter off the street. But as e-bikes and e-scooters get more popular, more kids and teens are getting hurt on them. Since 2023, the rate of e-bike and e-scooter injury-related visits to the emergency room increased 7.5-fold among children and adolescents, according to research from health data and analytics company Truveta. Related story An Opioid That’s ’10 Times More Potent Than Fentanyl’ Is Showing Up on College Campuses For Dr. Brian Coates, it’s a concerning trend. “The barrier to entry to these devices was quite significant when they first came out, and now they’re ubiquitous,” says Coates, the Service Line Medical Director of Trauma & Surgical Services at Saint Alphonsus Health System, a member of Trinity Health. “Every kid has a smartphone, easily can download the app, and typically afford the price of the entry.” And while Coates says he does see many minor injuries — fractures, cuts, scrapes and bruises — he also treats a large number of head and neck injuries. “There is a significant portion of them that do turn into major injuries that require prolonged hospitalizations, procedures, and can actually lead to devastating, negative lifelong outcomes,” he says. The numbers back that up. The Truveta data found that more than one-third of e-bike and e-scooter injury-related ER visits among children and adolescents resulted in a head or neck injury diagnosis. In particular, traumatic brain injuries represented 7 percent of the ER visits. “What we’re seeing are not necessarily traditional bike type of injuries,” Coates says. “We’re seeing injuries that are more consistent with what we would see in motorcycle crashes.” That means more fractures and more significant head injuries. Coates calls these “high-energy injuries,” because e-bikes and e-scooters go faster than traditional bikes or scooters, with top speeds range from 20 to 28 miles per hour. While speed is one reason for the uptick in injuries, Coates says unfamiliarity is another. “They’re not used to navigating these devices,” he says. “They’re not used to how quickly they accelerate. They’re not used to stopping them.” Not wearing helmets is another major issue. Helmet use on e-bikes has declined over recent years, even as e-bike use has surged. As Coates points out, the convenience of rentable e-bikes and e-scooters might be part of the problem. Kids and teens might leave their house not knowing they’re going to grab an e-bike or e-scooter later, so they don’t bring a helmet on the way out. For the most part, Coates says the kids and teens he treats for e-bike or e-scooter injuries were using substances and lose control of the their device. Other riders may be struck by motor vehicles. Pedestrians can also be hit and injured by e-bikes or e-scooters. Coates points to the fact that many people ride these devices in the middle of busy streets or sidewalks in areas without bike lanes, increasing the risk of injury. For parents, Coates says, the important thing is education — making sure your kids know how to ride e-bikes and e-scooters safely. Here are some key safety tips to pass along: Always wear a helmet Don’t ride with another friend on the e-scooter or e-bike Ride in bike lanes as much as possible Obey traffic laws and yield to pedestrians Use front and rear lights at night and wear bright, reflective clothing Don’t use your phone or wear earbuds or headphones while riding Don’t ride an e-bike or e-scooter if you’ve been drinking or using other substances “The discussion that I have with my children is to be transparent with the risks of utilizing these devices, and to make sure that they understand that there is danger involved,” Coates says. “As parents, I think it’s important to make sure that we have that open line of communication with our kids, and always encourage them to, if they’re going to use these devices, to do so in a safe manner.” Source link
Demi Lovato Shares Eating Disorder Update
Demi Lovato says she no longer expects to be “fully healed” from her eating disorder. The 34-year-old singer appeared on the Oct. 14 episode of the Street You Grew Up On podcast to talk about her relationship with food and body image. “I can say that today, I’m not in a place where I look at myself as fully healed,” Lovato shared. “I don’t think that that’s something that I even think about striving towards because it doesn’t seem realistic.” Related story Pope Leo Diagnosed with Lung Cancer After Surgery A Place of Acceptance Lovato described her relationship with food as a “manageable battle” that will likely last the rest of her life. She explained that she no longer expects perfection. Instead, she focuses on finding freedom in the kitchen and accepting her body as it fluctuates. “Some days I don’t love my body, but there are days where I accept it,” she said. “I would say I live in a place of acceptance now. Where I don’t look in the mirror and berate myself for having curves.” Earlier this year, the singer released her first cookbook, One Plate at a Time. She designed the recipes to help fans dealing with similar issues build confidence in the kitchen and develop a healthier relationship with food. “As I started working on it [the book], I realized there are so many people that may have had eating disorders or might be just stepping into the kitchen for the first time,” she told Us in March. “It started out as something to help me in my recovery and a tool for others, but then it actually ended up becoming a cookbook for just anybody that wants to get into the kitchen for the first time and might be intimidated by cooking.” Finding Confidence on Stage Lovato put her new outlook into practice during her recent It’s Not That Deep tour. She admitted to feeling stressed and terrified about performing after her body changed, but when she finally stepped on stage, the audience’s reaction shut down her insecurities. “I went onstage anyways,” Lovato said. “No one turned around. No one got up out of their seats and said, ‘She’s not a size 0.’ They still loved me and cried tears of joy when I sang for them. I was like, ‘That’s a huge lesson for me.’” That experience on tour only validated the mindset she carries in her personal life. “I’m 34. My worth isn’t in my body. My husband doesn’t love me because of my body. My family doesn’t love me because of my body,” she said. “I am beautiful as I am, but most importantly, I am a good human, and that’s what I hold true to my heart.” Source link
Jodie Sweetin Says Dave Coulier is ‘Doing Great’ After Cancer Battle
Full House star Jodie Sweetin is sharing a positive update on Dave Coulier’s health following his back-to-back battles with cancer. “He’s doing great,” Sweetin told People at the Scleroderma Research Foundation’s Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine fundraiser on Tuesday. Her update comes eight months after Coulier shared that both cancers were in remission. Two Cancer Diagnoses in Just Over a Year Coulier first spoke publicly about his lymphoma diagnosis in November 2024. In December 2025, he revealed that doctors had found p16-positive squamous cell carcinoma at the base of his tongue. The second cancer, he said, was unrelated to the lymphoma. Related story Pope Leo Diagnosed with Lung Cancer After Surgery During a February appearance on Good Morning America, Coulier explained that a PET scan at a lymphoma follow-up appointment picked up something in his throat. Doctors performed a biopsy, which confirmed the diagnosis. He credited those checkups with helping them catch it early. Jodie Sweetin and Dave Coulier, pictured in 2009 in Los Angeles. (Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images) Getty Images “It’s been a roller coaster ride for sure,” he said. “I’m in remission with both cancers. And what a journey this has been.” Remission Wasn’t the End of His Recovery Months later, Coulier addressed fans’ questions about his appearance and changes to his voice. “What you’re seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat,” he said in a May Instagram video. “I haven’t been able to eat solid food in months, so I’ve lost 45 lbs.” He added that treatment had affected his ability to speak and that his hair was growing back after chemotherapy for lymphoma. He also shared some encouraging news: his latest PET scans looked good for both cancers. He said he was keeping busy with artwork and creative writing. Still Showing Up for Each Other To celebrate his health and catch up in person, Sweetin and Andrea Barber, who played the eccentric next-door neighbor Kimmy Gibbler, recently spent a weekend at Coulier’s home in Michigan. While in town, the trio attended The Coney, a fundraiser supporting arts programs in Detroit, which Sweetin described as “so much fun.” Seeing Coulier healthy after “such a tough battle” put everything into perspective for the actress. Rather than focusing on grand gestures, she said that the quiet parts of the trip were the most impactful. “Sitting around and having coffee with him in the morning meant so much,” she told the outlet. Decades after their hit sitcom wrapped, Sweeten emphasized that the cast is still “obnoxiously annoyingly close.” Source link
Busy Philipps Opens Up About Telling Her Kids About Brain Tumor
Busy Philipps is opening up about the reality of parenting through a health crisis. During an Oct. 14 appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends, the actress discussed her recent brain tumor diagnosis and the emotional conversations she had with her two daughters. Philipps shares Birdie, 18, and Cricket, 13, with her ex-husband Marc Silverstein. Making a Promise to Her Daughter Philipps found out about the grade 2 oligodendroglioma in February and had the tumor removed on March 2. At the time of the diagnosis, her oldest daughter Birdie was home on a break from boarding school. Related story Busy Philipps Got the Brain Scan Results Every Patient Hopes For, and She Has a Message for Women “My older daughter just turned 18 over the summer. She graduated from high school,” Philipps shared on the talk show. “So this was all happening in February, and my surgery was March 2. She actually was in boarding school, and she was home on a break when we found out and when I had the surgery, and she stayed an extra week.” “She’s in this moment in her life where her life is just starting,” Philipps said. “I think all of a sudden being hit with the reality that something could be really, terribly wrong with her mom may be the scariest thing for any kid to confront.” Philipps, who first shared her diagnosis publicly in an August People interview, said Birdie was “beside herself” and “overwhelmed with emotion.” To help ground her, Philipps made a very specific promise. “I just kept saying to her, ‘You’re not in the movie where your mom dies the senior year of high school. I just promise you,’” she continued. “‘You’re in the movie where a brain tumor and then is on a TV show.’” Two Very Different Reactions Her youngest daughter, Cricket, took a decidedly different approach to the news. “Her reaction when I told her was like, ‘Okay. You’re going to be fine?’” Philipps said. “And I was like, ‘I’m totally going to be fine.’ And she’s like, ‘Okay.’” Philipps added that her own initial reaction was far less calm. “I was like hyperventilating and trying to breathe,” she recalled of first hearing the diagnosis. The actress ultimately underwent surgery just weeks before she was set to begin filming the new legal procedural Cupertino. Source link
Pope Leo XIV Diagnosed with Lung Cancer Following Surgery in Rome
Following a recent hospital visit and planned surgical procedure, Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer. The Holy See Press Office confirmed the diagnosis after the 71-year-old pontiff underwent surgery at Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Tuesday, October 13. Doctors removed the lower lobe of his right lung, and testing during the operation confirmed lung adenocarcinoma. Leo spent about three hours in the operating room, although the procedure itself lasted approximately 90 minutes. The Vatican said the surgery was successful and there were no complications. Related story Kelly Osbourne Said She’s Regained Weight After Being ‘Shocked’ By Photos of Herself According to Vatican News, Leo awoke normally after surgery and returned to his room on the hospital’s 10th floor after a brief observation period. What Doctors Found The Pope first shared his health news during his weekly blessing in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, Oct. 11. He said doctors spotted a “very early-stage and well-localized” nodule during recent medical tests and advised him to have surgery. Adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer in people who don’t smoke, according to the Lung Cancer Foundation of America. It falls under the non-small cell category and usually develops near the outside of the lungs, in cells that produce mucus. This marks Leo’s first hospitalization since he was named pontiff in May 2025. His announcement came two days before the planned operation, giving the public some notice of the procedure. What Happens Next? Before surgery, oncologists told the AP that his prognosis could be “excellent” if the nodule was cancerous and removed at an early stage. Following the diagnosis, however, experts said more information was needed before assessing his outlook. “While we know the diagnosis, we now need to know the stage,” Dr. Stephen Liu, a lung cancer expert at Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, told the AP. “We now need to know how big it is, how many spots in the lung are involved. Is it just one nodule, or more than one, and the lymph nodes, are they cancerous?” At the time of the AP report, lymph-node test results had not yet been announced. The Vatican hasn’t shared a detailed ongoing treatment plan. According to the AP, doctors were waiting for additional test results before discussing chemotherapy or other therapies. All audiences have been canceled through Tuesday, Oct. 20, and Leo was expected to spend about a week recovering in the hospital. For now, the operation’s success is encouraging. Whether he needs additional treatment will depend on what those remaining tests show. Source link
Diet Soda vs. Water for Weight Loss: The Answer Might Surprise You
If you’ve been forcing down plain water to drop a few pounds when you really just want a Diet Coke (there’s nothing quite as refreshing as a mid-day ice-cold “fridge cig”), science has some potentially good news for you. According to a University of Liverpool study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, diet drinks and water performed similarly for long-term weight management. But before we declare diet soda the “new water,” let’s look at the facts. What Did the Study Find? Researchers randomly assigned 493 adults with overweight or obesity to drink at least two daily servings of either water or non-nutritive sweetened drinks — like diet colas and sweetened flavored waters. Everyone also participated in a behavioral weight-management program, with weekly meetings initially, then monthly meetings through the first year. The second year was an optional extension without those sessions. Related story Weight-Loss Drugs for Kids Under 10? Here’s What the WHO Thinks Among the 220 participants who completed the two-year follow-up, water drinkers maintained an average weight loss of about 8.2 pounds, while the diet-drink group maintained about 10.6 pounds. The difference wasn’t statistically significant. Analyses estimating missing participants’ results also found no significant difference. That’s encouraging, but it doesn’t mean either beverage caused the weight loss. These people were also participating in a program that included dietary advice and encouragement to increase physical activity. Here’s Why I’m Skeptical The study was funded by the American Beverage Association. (Something I’d like to know before celebrating the results.) The association also funded medical-writing assistance, and a representative had an opportunity to review the manuscript. The authors say the funder wasn’t involved in the trial’s design, conduct, analysis, or interpretation, and that final content decisions were theirs. Industry funding doesn’t automatically make the finding wrong, but it deserves disclosure (which they provided), especially when the finding concerns the products the industry sells. Then there’s the follow-up: 493 people started, but only 220 completed the two-year assessment. The researchers acknowledged that the low completion rate was a limitation. So, Are Diet Drinks Healthy? That’s a different question. This study suggests that diet drinks can fit into a weight-management program. It doesn’t establish that they’re as healthy as water or settle questions about long-term sweetener consumption. Other research has also raised some concerns: Cognitive health: A September 2025 study published in Neurology found an association between consuming higher amounts of certain low- and no-calorie sweeteners across food and drinks and accelerated cognitive decline. Liver function: Research presented at a 2025 conference linked artificially sweetened drinks to an increased risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, a condition involving fat buildup in the liver. Both studies were observational, so neither proves that drinks or sweeteners caused those outcomes. That distinction matters here just as much as the funding disclosure does. The takeaway? Similar weight-loss results aren’t a blanket health endorsement. Given the industry funding and how many people didn’t finish the study, I’m taking this one with a grain of salt. Source link
Loneliness Linked to Nearly 6 Fewer Years of Good Health
Being alone isn’t necessarily a problem. Sometimes, it’s the whole point. An evening without plans, small talk, or anyone asking you for something? Lovely. Feeling like you have no one to turn to, though, is a different story. A new study from Tulane University puts some numbers behind that distinction — and they’re pretty bleak. Researchers found that people experiencing both loneliness and social isolation could expect fewer years free from depression and anxiety after age 50. For men, the difference was nearly 6 years. For women, it was 3.7 years. Related story Kelly Osbourne Said She’s Regained Weight After Being ‘Shocked’ By Photos of Herself The study analyzed 277,489 adults aged 40 to 69 who started out without seven major conditions, including heart disease, cancer, depression, and anxiety. Researchers estimated how many disease-free years participants could expect after age 50. To be clear, this doesn’t mean enjoying your own company is shaving years off your life. It also doesn’t mean loneliness comes with a six-year countdown. These findings describe an association across a large group of people, not a prediction for any one person. But they do suggest that connection deserves a little more attention in conversations about health. The Difference Between Being Alone and Being Lonely We tend to use loneliness and social isolation interchangeably. Researchers don’t. Social isolation is about the connections you have, or don’t have. Loneliness is about whether those connections feel satisfying or fulfilling. You can have people around you and still feel disconnected. Having company and feeling understood aren’t the same thing. Compared with participants who experienced neither loneliness nor social isolation, women experiencing both had an estimated 2.4 fewer years free from major physical diseases. For men, the difference was 1.7 years. The mental-health differences were larger: approximately 3.7 years for women and 5.8 for men. “Overall, the study found that social isolation and loneliness can have a significant impact on disease-free life expectancy,” lead author Lu Qi said in the university’s account of the research. “This includes both physical and mental disease.” Why ‘Healthy Habits’ Aren’t the Whole Answer Healthier habits, including a better diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and not smoking, reduced the loss of disease-free years associated with social isolation. For loneliness, researchers didn’t find the same statistically significant benefit. Even so, this was an observational study. It can’t prove that loneliness caused those differences or that changing your social life would give those years back. Researchers plan to investigate that through clinical trials and studies of other populations. The takeaway isn’t that we all need more plans. (Please, no.) It’s that feeling connected deserves a place in the health conversation. Source link
Kelly Osbourne Regains 30 Lbs. After Being ‘Shocked’ By Her Own Photos
Kelly Osbourne is setting the record straight about her health, her body, and the absolute hell she’s been through over the past 12 months. In a recent interview with The Sun, the 41-year-old former reality star didn’t hold back when discussing her drastic weight loss ahead of the February 2026 BRIT Awards — and shared that she’s gained nearly 30 pounds since the show. Looking back at photos from the awards show, Osbourne admitted she was “shocked” by her appearance. Related story Will Friedle Woke Up ‘Peeing Blood’ & This Common Health Issue Was the Cause “I didn’t know that I looked like that until I saw the pictures,” she told the outlet. “When I saw them, I couldn’t f—ing believe it. I was as shocked as everyone else.” Kelly Osbourne at The BRIT Awards 2026 held at Co-op Live on February 28, 2026 in Manchester, England. Zak Hussein/Billboard Surviving ‘The Worst Year’ Osbourne’s physical changes were a result of her grief. After losing her father, rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, and going through a breakup with her fiancé Sid Wilson shortly after, she bluntly called the past 12 months “the worst year” of her life. “I know this sounds woo-woo, but I do candle magic a lot,” she shared. “I went to my dad’s grave with a white candle, and I wrote a wish on it saying, ‘Please help me,’” she continued. “The next day, my mom showed up in a black Mercedes with a man in a mustard-colored jacket.” While Osbourne immediately assumed her mom, Sharon, was packing her off to rehab, the man was actually therapist and life coach Chris Miller. Today, Osbourne says the unexpected introduction saved her life and changed her “in so many ways I never thought possible.” Shutting Down the Surgery Rumors Osbourne has grown up under a microscope, but that hasn’t made the constant public scrutiny any easier to deal with. She pointed out that people are rarely kind about her appearance, especially when they assume she’s been secretly altering her face and body. She quickly put those rumors to rest. “I’ve not f—ing had plastic surgery,” she said, before clarifying that the only work she gets is Botox between her eyebrows and in her jaw to help with severe migraines caused by teeth grinding. “This is the face that God and my family gave me, and whether you like it or not, that’s up to you, but I’m alright with it,” she continued. She did, however, joke about keeping her options open as she gets older, adding that if she ever develops a “chicken neck,” she’ll have it removed, and she isn’t opposed to a breast lift down the line — just no implants.
