*“She’s doing fine now, she’s not blind,” a source told PEOPLE about Mel B. “This has happened before. She has herpes in her eye, so this can happen.”
Well, that’s not exactly how Mel B, er, sees it. Nope, she’s here to set the record straight about her eye condition and and herpes.
In the wake of rumors swirling that she was “doing fine now” after going temporarly blind because of a herpes outbreak, she took to Instagram to share the real deal with her situation and in the process, Mel posted a rather eye-catching photo of herself wearing an eyepatch.
Here’s what she had to say:
“Thank you so much for all the lovely support and messages I’ve had about my eye. Just so you know the real truth. I had an awful experience last week when I went blind in my right eye and my left eye went blurry. Even though the stupid press said I’m ok and this has happened to me many times before, just to be clear I was NOT ok and this has NEVER EVER happened to me before,so who ever is selling this story “a close reliable source” is full of BS and needs to get their silly facts right big time, I was actually in a lot of pain and very very scared but thanks to the incredible eye specialists in A&E at London’s Moorfields Hospital…”
And for all those buying into the herpes rumor, she says it ain’t so; she said she was diagnosed with a rare condition.
“…After at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital I was diagnosed by an eye specialist with severe IRITIS in my right eye and UVEITIS in my left eye.I’m taking multiple prescription heavy duty eye drops and other medication the dr gave me that I have to take every day to keep the inflammation under control. Also I’m being so well looked after by Team Spice special thanks to our paramedics too!! I’m still dealing with it and will be for the next 3/4 months to fully get it under control but I’m no longer worried that my condition will get worse.”
Her only concern at this point has obviously been dealt with because it’s more than obvious she found a “very cool Scary eye patch.”
“My only problem now is I have to find a very cool Scary eye patch. Does anyone – apart from Madonna – know where I can get one ?? #eyepatch Pls #takingcareofme thank you #nhs“
