Cousins! Mo’Nique has issued a direct ‘Thank you’ to her fans regarding her health after a few of her supporters suggested that she have her throat checked out!
Within a recent Instagram live, the actress and comedian admitted that she wasn’t originally receptive to fans suggestions regarding her neck.
“I owe some people a ‘thank you,’ and I owe some folks that were paying attention to me and brought something to my attention,” said Mo’Nique.
“And I kept trying to avoid what was being said, right? So, I’m gonna share. Y’all, for the people that kept bringing it to my attention, I want to say thank you because when I would do some lives or some posts, some of the comments would be ‘Mo, check your throat. Check your throat.’”
She added, “’Your thyroid looks like it’s it’s having a problem,’ and I would say ‘Oh no no no no, I just got a fat neck,’ and I was very comfortable in saying, ‘I just got a fat neck.’”
Further in the video Mo’Nique shared that she is experiencing an issue with her thyroid. She went on to say that her current medical experience has led her to encourage others to get checked out also.
“So, I am here to tell y’all, the ones that told me to look out for that, it was actually my thyroid. And sisters, when your thyroid is out of whack, I tell you everything is out of whack,” Mo’Nique shared.
“Everything. So, please, please take it from me. Don’t put it off. Don’t neglect what you need to go get dealt with.”
“Thank you for saying, ‘Auntie! Your neck is fat.”
According to the American Thyroid Association, Thyroid disorders affect over 10% of the U.S. population.
