The 41-year-old food critic shared a black-and-white photo of herself on Instagram with a poignant caption that read: "Sometimes the weight of the world feels heavy." The vague post quickly drew attention from her followers, who flooded the comments section with messages of support.
Leong, who joined MasterChef in 2020 as part of the show's new judging panel, has been open about mental health struggles in the past. Her latest post comes just weeks after she celebrated her birthday with an emotional tribute to her late father.
Fellow celebrities and fans alike have expressed their concern, with many urging her to reach out if she needs help. "Sending you so much love," wrote one follower, while another added: "You're not alone in this."
The TV personality has yet to clarify the meaning behind her post, leaving many to speculate about what might be troubling her. Leong has previously spoken about the pressures of fame and the importance of self-care, making this latest message all the more concerning to her devoted fanbase.
