Emily in Paris' Ashley Park Hospitalized After Tonsillitis Complications

‘Emily in Paris’ star Ashley Park spent more than a week in a hospital ICU after tonsillitis infected ‘several’ of her organs

While on holiday in December into New Years, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs,” Park, 32, wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 19. You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know,” she wrote. Park, who also expressed her gratitude for her doctors and ICU staffers, received many supportive messages from her loved ones via Instagram comment, including from her Mean Girls costar Busy Philipps.
