Addressing the weight comments in a video message, the Citadel: Honey Bunny star said, "Yes! another weight comment. I saw an entire thread about my weight. If you guys must know, I’m on a strict anti-inflammatory diet, which is required for my condition, which prevents me from putting on weight, keeps in a certain weight bracket and keeps me in a sweet spot with my condition. Stop judging people. Let them be, live and let live. Please guys, it’s 2024."

What is Myositis?

Myositis in layman's terms means how your immune system attacks your muscles causing inflammation and swelling. Myositis is classified into several forms, including Dermatomyositis (DM), Polymyositis (PM), Necrotizing myopathy (NM), Inclusion body myositis (IBM), Juvenile forms of myositis (JM), and Antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS).

According to The Myositis Association, “More often, however, the term myositis is used to refer to a set of autoimmune diseases involving chronic inflammation of the muscles. This often occurs together with other symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, trouble swallowing, and others. This type of myositis is also known as idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).”

Symptoms of Myositis

People with Myositis will show symptoms such as weakness, swelling, gradual muscle damage, and difficulty in swallowing, climbing stairs, and getting up from a chair besides other symptoms, as per The Myositis Association.
