Former Married At First Sight contestant Jessika Power has issued an emotional update, revealing her brother Rhyce is 'lucky to be alive' after a severe health scare that saw him rushed to hospital just days before Christmas.
A Sobering Hospital Scene
The reality TV personality took to Instagram to share a series of stark images from her brother's hospital bedside. The photos showed the heavily tattooed influencer, Rhyce Power, lying exhausted in a hospital bed, connected to an array of medical equipment including heart monitors and an ECG.
In one confronting snapshot, Rhyce could be seen reclining beneath hospital sheets, clutching his phone while wired to a blood pressure cuff and with ECG pads attached across his chest and torso. Machines beeped beside him, painting a sobering picture of the serious incident that unfolded behind the scenes.
Jessika captioned her post with a heartfelt message to her followers, urging them to keep her brother in their thoughts during this difficult time.
Details of the Injury Emerge
Rhyce later provided his own explanation on his personal social media page, sharing graphic images of his injuries. He disclosed that the accident had resulted in a broken scapula – the bone commonly known as the shoulder blade.
Further updates documented his road to recovery. One photo showed him stretched out on the hospital bed with a fresh wound visible on his lower leg, while another captured him walking with his right leg supported by a bulky black medical brace. A final image pictured Rhyce in slide sandals and shorts, his injured leg fully immobilised, as he declared 'Let's get surgery,' indicating further medical treatment lies ahead.
Scare Follows Controversial Social Media Rant
The shocking health incident comes shortly after Rhyce made headlines for a fiery social media tirade directed at Mexico. Following a trip with his long-time fiancée, Taylor Peters, he branded the country the 'worst' he had ever visited.
He claimed he was singled out, searched, and harassed by border officers, unleashing criticism about the nation's food and people. His explosive posts suggested that plans he and Taylor had to relocate to Mexico, after previously living in Bali, were now under serious review.
Rhyce first found fame as Jessika Power's muscular, tattoo-covered brother during her scandal-filled stint on the 2019 season of Married At First Sight. He later leveraged his notoriety into a successful career on the adult subscription platform OnlyFans, where he reportedly earned substantial sums by selling explicit content to a global audience.
The family and fans now await further news on his recovery following the planned surgery.
