Jessie J sets the story straight about her scare with Meniere’s disease over Christmas after some facts were incorrectly reported.
The singer revealed on Instagram that she was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease – an inner ear syndrome – on Christmas Eve. Headlines quickly read that she was hospitalized and was in a more dire situation.
She took to her Instagram story Monday to explain that she woke up on Christmas Eve and was “completely deaf in my right ear” and “couldn’t walk in a straight line.” But she went on to say that she “never said” she was hospitalized.
The 32-year-old continued: “BUT… Since going live, I have watched the media take 3 words from this life and create a very dramatic version of the truth. I’m not surprised, BUT I also know I, too, have the power to set the story straight. I’m not posting this for sympathy. I’m posting this because this is the truth. I don’t want anyone thinking I lied about what actually happened.”
“It just threw me off. … On Christmas Eve, I was in the ear hospital going, ‘What is going on?’ But I’m glad I went early, and they worked out what it was real quick, and I got put on the right medicine, so I feel a lot better today,” she said.
She went on to thank those who reached out to make sure she was okay and help her deal with the diagnosis.
