Suki Waterhouse is getting candid about a very unexpected health scare—and it all started with a pair of tight pants.
The 33-year-old actress and singer took to Twitter on Monday (July 14) to explain her recent absence from social media and revealed that she had been recovering from a hernia. The cause? A pair of pants that were just a little too snug.
“‘suki you never tweet anymore’ have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I’ve been too scared to tell you,” Suki tweeted, hilariously owning up to the situation.
The tweet was accompanied by a photo of her lying in a hospital bed, looking very much like someone trying to keep spirits high despite a tough situation.
One fan took notice of a detail in the photo and jokingly commented, “vape in the hospital is diabolical.”
Suki didn’t miss a beat. “so true,” she replied.
While it’s unclear exactly when the hospitalization occurred, Suki’s humorous take on the incident gave fans a rare peek into her personal life—and her sense of humor.
This health update comes just over a year after Suki and her partner Robert Pattinson welcomed their first child. Though the couple has kept most details about their baby under wraps, fans have been thrilled to see Suki thriving in both her career and motherhood.
Between her music releases, acting gigs, and new-mom life, it’s no surprise that she may have needed some downtime. But leave it to Suki to turn even a hospital stay into a moment of comedic relief.
And if there’s a takeaway here? Maybe loosen that waistband just a little.
