Lo Bosworth, best known for her role in the reality TV series The Hills, has revealed that she suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) two years ago in a freak accident while dining at a restaurant in New York City. The 34-year-old shared the news with her Instagram followers, explaining that a swinging kitchen door fell off its hinges and struck her on the head.
Bosworth described the incident as causing a moderate to severe concussion that required hospitalisation and weeks off work. She noted that the road to recovery was long, and she still struggles with recalling words and expressing her thoughts coherently two years later. 'I was in the hospital and suffered a moderate to severe concussion for months,' she wrote.
In addition to the head injury, Bosworth revealed she was also diagnosed with mononucleosis shortly after the accident, which compounded her exhaustion. She said she 'laid in bed for months and months whenever I could while continuing to work full-time' at her company Love Wellness.
Bosworth credited her commitment to healthy eating and fitness during the pandemic to her recovery journey, stating that it took a full year before she could exercise regularly. She urged her followers to appreciate their health, calling it 'precious and sometimes taken for granted.'
Tennis star Venus Williams responded to Bosworth's post, sharing her own struggles with memory issues and brain fog due to autoimmune problems. Bosworth has previously spoken about battling depression and anxiety on her blog.
