Yolanda Foster Lyme Disease Update: ‘I Am A Determined Warrior’


Yolanda Foster has been silent on her Bravo blog for weeks, but on April 1, following Tuesday night’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, the reality star returned to update fans on her struggle with Lyme disease, and reveal her thoughts on the latest episode.

“My world has become very small. I have moved into an apartment with my husband and son in order to have a more manageable scope of responsibilities while I recover slowly and learn to take life one day at a time,” Yolanda Foster wrote. “Getting well is my full-time job these days.”

Last year, Yolanda Foster and her husband, David, put their Malibu, California, mansion on the market. The mansion, which has been seen on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for the last few seasons, boasts a gorgeous pool and view of the Pacific Ocean.

In a previous blog, Yolanda Foster revealed that she had suffered a Lyme disease relapse in December of last year and hasn’t been able to get back on track since. Also in the blog, she explained that because of her relapse, she was no longer able to read, write or watch television.

“I am a determined warrior, and even though this has brought me to my knees, I know God often uses our deepest pain as the launching pad of our greatest calling.”

During the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, Yolanda Foster did her best to participate with the group, but, unfortunately, was unable to stay for the entirety of filming. As expected, Yolanda Foster’s Lyme disease made it difficult for her to participate and led to her early exit from production.

Still, Yolanda Foster voiced her opinion on several issues, one of which was the behavior of several cast members during Season 5. Although she didn’t name names, Yolanda Foster believes some act out because they aren’t in a good place of self-love.

“It’s obvious that some of the women’s behavior is a true reflection of how they feel about themselves, and for that, I have great empathy and compassion.”

As the Inquisitr previously reported, Yolanda Foster’s role on the upcoming sixth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has yet to be confirmed. However, according to a new tweet, the reality star may be ready to move on from Bravo and focus solely on her health.

On Wednesday, Yolanda Foster confirmed her April 1 blog was her “final” blog for Bravo.

For more Yolanda Foster, tune into The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 reunion part two on Tuesday at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
