Yolanda Foster Models For ‘W Magazine,’ Undergoes Lyme Disease Treatment: ‘I Had Much More Glamorous Plans For Myself’
Yolanda Foster may be battling Lyme disease, but that didn’t stop the mother of three from posing for the latest issue of W Magaine. According to a July 6 report by the UK’s Daily Mail, Yolanda Foster was featured as part of the magazine’s “Ones To Watch” issue, alongside fellow celebrities Gillian Anderson, Mindy Kaling, Ashley Benson, and Jussie Smollett.
In the magazine, Yolanda Foster opened up about her decision to appear on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — just before she was diagnosed with Lyme disease.
“I had much more glamorous plans for myself, obviously.”
Yolanda Foster went on to discuss how her daughters’ modeling careers differ from her own. As fans of fashion, and of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, are aware, Yolanda Foster’s daughters, Bella and Gigi Hadid, are two of the most popular models of this day and age.
“When I was modeling 30 years ago, we didn’t have that. You went around with your portfolio, begging for jobs. Now, these kids establish themselves on social media and they just run with it.”

As the Inquisitr previously reported, Yolanda Foster’s role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills remains in limbo. However, while her full-time role on the series remains unconfirmed, E! News claimed last week that fans will see her throughout the upcoming sixth season — at least in a limited role.
“Despite reports saying she was off the show, we hear Yolanda will have some kind of presence, it just depends on how she’s feeling while she continues to battle Lyme Disease.”
While filming the fifth season of the Bravo reality show, Yolanda Foster suffered a relapse, which left her unable to read, write, and watch television. Right away, her role on the series was impacted. Not only did she cease participation in her weekly cast blog, Foster was also unable to film the reunion show. Although the mother of three was seen briefly during the Bravo special, the emotional toll of filming forced her to exit much sooner than the rest of the ladies.
Also on Monday, July 6, Yolanda Foster shared the latest photo of her Lyme disease treatment, along with the caption, “Back at work…….. #HyperbaricChamber #ChronicLymeDisease #DeterminedToFindACure.”
