Rachel replied, “I want to address this because the comments I’ve received are a reminder of how little we often know about what someone is really going through. Everyone has seen a very small part of my life through a lens. I am constantly compared to a version of myself from a short time when, truthfully, I was really struggling. Toward the end of last year, I also faced health issues that impacted my body in ways I couldn’t control.”

“Today I’m in a healthier place, both physically and emotionally. This is the last time I’ll speak on it, love you,” Rachel added.

Rachel underwent breast reduction surgery in 2023 and said at the time that it alleviated her back pain for the first time in over a decade.
