“It resulted in being a kidney infection which came from a UTI that was left untreated.” The star opened up about her health scare, saying: “I felt pain in my lower back at the start of the week and tried for three days to get into my doctors, but they were not taking any more appointments or e-consults which resulted into my vomiting and having the migraine and a fever, but with me being diabetic things can get a little more complicated as you can imagine.”
