Leah McSweeney becomes latest celebrity battling Lyme disease: Ex-RHONY star asks for 'success stories of healing'

Leah McSweeney has been diagnosed with Lyme disease. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 41, shared the news on Thursday by posting her test results on social media.

She previously suffered health issues while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Thailand, where she collapsed from dehydration and had to be hospitalized. Speaking with British Vogue in 2021, the mom of models Gigi, Bella, and Anwar Hadid recalled how she suffered from severe fatigue, memory loss, swollen lymph nodes, and slight Bell’s palsy on her face, among other crippling symptoms that led to her being deeply depressed and contemplating suicide. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said she isn't sure how she and her children contracted the disease, but she noted that they all spend a great deal of time outdoors.
