Reports of Brandy Norwood being admitted to the hospital started making rounds on the internet on October 11. As fans grew concerned, the singer recently gave an update on her health on her Instagram Story. She wrote:
“To my beloved fam, friends, and starz thank you for sending love and light my way. I am following doctors’ orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition. Thank you for your prayers and support. Grateful for you all, see you soon.”
An official statement is currently awaited from Norwood’s representative.
Brandy Norwood was reportedly hospitalized after she suffered a possible seizure. TMZ reported that the authorities received an EMS call to Norwood’s residence at noon on October 11.
TMZ also mentioned that her parents were by her side at the hospital. The reasons behind the seizure and the confirmation of other health issues have not yet been revealed. It should be noted that she was hospitalized back in 2017 when she lost consciousness on a flight at Los Angeles International Airport.
Norwood’s team revealed at the time that she was traveling a lot as a part of her tour and had taken more than 10 flights. They even mentioned that Norwood was working the whole night at her studio when she had to leave for the airport to catch a 5:45 a.m. flight. While speaking to the New York Post, she once said:
“I have not been diagnosed as bipolar but I’ve had moments where trauma has caused me to not be myself, and I felt at a point that I could’ve experienced moments of that.”
In another interview with The Grio, she said that she has battled severe depression, trauma, and PTSD. She added that she has gone through a lot and has had to overcome everything through therapy, prayer, journaling, and meditation.
