Victoria Monét talks about health problems during Coachella: ‘Really confused’

Victoria Monét has opened up about her health struggles and rationalized her changed appearance at Coachella.

On her Instagram profile, the singer revealed that she is struggling with PCOS, which caused her weight gain. Although she was ‘frustrated’ by the diagnosis, the mother-of-one also found a silver lining during crises.

She shares a photo of herself at her Coachella performance, the Girls need love singer can be seen posing on stage against a backdrop of the night sky and a beaming moon.

She wrote the caption: “Welp.. I gained a lot of weight and it went in a lot of places, lol face, arms, stomach and most effectively… datassss”.

The Atlanta, Georgia, native then revealed the reason behind her weight gain, sharing, “I’m usually so critical and frustrated with it because PCOS has really messed me up” before jokingly adding, “But optimistically there are now at least two moons on stage”.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal problem that occurs during reproductive years, with some women producing more male hormones than normal.

The condition can cause irregular periods, or no periods at all, leading to complications such as weight gain.

However, the Grammy winner’s admission in the health battle has received immense support and love from fans, inspiring them to find strength despite challenges.

About X, a fan wrote: “Victoria Monet has PCOS? I’m so grateful she’s speaking out. This made me love her even more.”

While another echoed: “Hearing that Victoria Monet also has PCOS only made me feel less insecure about my health.”

A third user also chimed in, adding: “Victoria Monet has PCOS too?!? It just brought tears to my eyes, wtf, I hate that for her, but I’m so happy for successful representation” (sic).
