*Sonja Norwood, the mother of Ray J and Brandy shared an update with fans following a health scare that required her to be hospitalized.
According to The Jasmine Brand, Norwood received an at-home vitamin IV drip a few weeks ago that caused a bad reaction. She was rushed to the hospital and ultimately deemed “okay” and released.
The longtime music manager took to Facebook on Nov. 6 to address the situation, writing in part: “I don’t usually address stories about myself, but I was quite surprised to wake up to a call from a long-time friend/publicist asking, “Sonja, are you in the hospital, and are you okay?” “What? Where is that coming from,” I asked. There was a TMZ story that I was not aware of. She sent the link, and when I looked at it, I frowned and said, “That was weeks ago.” and “They could have gotten my age right.” Then the floodgates of concerns just took over my phone.”
Norwood continued, “Thank God I am not in the hospital. I’m doing great! I did have a negative reaction to an IV VITAMIN Therapy WEEKS AGO! It was not a big deal. I went to the hospital and got a big Grade A on my medical reports…That is about it! Nothing more or less! You guys are the best! Don’t be mad with TMZ.”
According to reports, Norwood’s at-home IV drip was reportedly a mix of C and B vitamins, calcium, and magnesium — and caused her to feel light-headed.
