Yolanda Hadid Says “Hurtful” Accusations Made By Her ‘RHOBH’ Costars Took A Toll On Her Mental Health

Yolanda Hadid recently spoke about her experience on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and recalled how it took a toll on her mental health.

“Well, the first season I went on, I was diagnosed with neurological Lyme disease and a lot of narratives that were created by the women… but those things were very hurtful. I was fighting for my life,” said the former Bravo star during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Hadid joined the cast of RHOBH in Season 3 and stayed on for four seasons of the Bravo reality series. The former model was open about her struggles with Lyme disease, but many of her costars were skeptical about her health.

At one point, costar Lisa Rinna suggested Hadid had Munchausen, which is a psychological condition where someone pretends to be sick and ends up having symptoms similar to the condition they claim to have.

Since Rinna is now having issues with her costar Kathy Hilton, Hadid was asked how she feels about the situation.

“I feel sorry for Kathy because I been in her shoes,” she said. “I feel sorry [for] what it does to her family with Kyle [Richards] and Kim [Richards]. It goes deep, right? And why? Because you want camera time?”

Hadid has become a spokesperson for Project Healthy Minds, a nonprofit organization that helps people looking to strengthen their mental health.
