Riley Keough and More Stars Who’ve Battled Lyme Disease on September 14, 2023 at 1:01 am Us Weekly

Many celebrities have spoken out about their Lyme disease diagnoses over the years, and because the disease is easy to misdiagnose, many had to fight to be believed.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Lyme disease is transmitted by ticks and caused by four species of bacteria in the United States, Europe and Asia. In fact, it’s the most common tick-borne illness in those regions. Early symptoms include a rash in a bulls-eye pattern, fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, headache, neck stiffness and swollen lymph nodes. If the disease goes untreated, symptoms expand to severe joint pain and neurological problems such as meningitis and Bell’s palsy.

Justin Bieber told fans about his diagnosis in January 2020, and his wife, Hailey Bieber, rose to his defense on the same day. “For those who are trying to downplay the severity of Lyme disease, please do your research and listen to the stories of people who have suffered with it for years,” she wrote. “Making fun of and belittling a disease you don’t understand is never the way, all it takes is educating yourself.”

Nearly three years prior, Kelly Osbourne described in a memoir how she advocated for her health and sought out an alternative medicine practitioner who believed her. “I had started entering my symptoms into online quizzes, and the results kept coming back Lyme disease,” she explained. “For the first time, someone listened to me, and I got tested. The results were positive: I had stage III neurological Lyme disease. … I’ve learned to advocate for myself when it comes to my health, and I trust my intuition. If I think something is wrong, I refuse to let anyone dismiss it. And sadly, I stay the f–k away from reindeer.”

Yolanda Hadid also wrote a book about her struggle with the illness, 2017’s Believe Me: My Battle With the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease. “I honestly don’t have the proper words in my vocabulary to describe to you the darkness, the pain, and the unknown hell I’ve lived these past years,” she said in a 2015 speech. “I actually did not live. I just existed in a jail of my own paralyzed brain. This disease has brought me to my knees. Many nights I wish to die. I pray that I will just wash away into heaven, where there will be no pain.”

Alix Earle became the talk of the Miu Miu spring/summer 2024 show by flaunting a messy — but chic — look during Paris Fashion Week.

Earle, 22, arrived at the soirée — alongside stars including Emma Chamberlain, Sydney Sweeney, Paris Hilton, Adriana Lima and more — in a laid-back and luxurious ensemble on Tuesday, October 3. For the show, Earle slayed an undone hairstyle featuring a middle part, textured waves, a voluminous crown and strands purposefully out of place.

After the show, celebrity hairstylist Owen Gould broke down how he created Earle’s “Parisian bedhead” look to Us Weekly. “We wanted it to look effortless and chic,” he said, explaining that “Alix was open to suggestions” when it came to the coiffure. “We decided it would be cooler to do something messy and undone vs. some of the more slick styles she’s been rocking lately,” Gould noted. “She loved the change as it was something she hasn’t tried before.”

First, Gould “prepared her hair with a volumizing mousse and soothing serum.” After her mane dried, “I clipped in 18 inch Hidden Crown Clip-ins for a little extra volume.”

Paris Fashion Week served as the perfect grand finale for the weeks-long string of runway shows across the globe. The highly anticipated event, which followed Milan Fashion Week, London Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week, kicked off on September 25 and ended on October 3. The most popular and sought-after fashion houses, including Chanel, […]

Gould added, “This look was supposed to look undone so we didn’t want any curl. Instead of using a curler, he reached for a flat iron and “alternated directions to give the hair a very subtle bend.”

“I finished with a little smoothing serum for separation,” the stylist told Us. He gave Earle even more of a “relaxed feel” by tucking her locks into the Miu Miu jacket she donned.

Her outfit featured a zip-up jacket and matching skirt embellished with the Italian fashion house’s logo, a white T-shirt and a tan leather purse. She accessorized with black sunglasses, frosted tights, strappy nude heels, silver rings and a long light pink manicure.

In the social media video, she put on her jacket and told fans, “I think we’re gonna leave it open and we’re tucking my hair into the jacket.” She gushed over the ‘do, “It’s honestly kinda fun! I feel like my hair is shorter and now I’m gonna wanna cut it.”

The Zoey 101 alum, 32, is one of the 14 celebrities competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy on season 32 of Dancing with the Stars. She’s partnered with professional dancer Alan Bersten, who told Us Weekly in September that he has such a “fun” dynamic with Jamie Lynn.

“It’s been nice. Jamie Lynn’s awesome, and we’re able to just work and not really get distracted,” Bersten, 29, said. “She is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met, honestly. We have a lot of fun rehearsals, but she really cares [and] you can’t ask for anything [better] in a partner.”

He continued: “[We] get a lot done, but at the same time, it’s like everything is so enjoyable about it. There’s something about Jamie Lynn’s energy that there’s not a lot of toughness. It’s not really hard. It’s all just kind of flowing really easily, and I’m very grateful for that.”

While the Sweet Magnolias star has fans in both Bersten and Federline, she and Britney, 41, have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years — particularly due to Britney’s 13-year conservatorship and its aftermath.

“I have nothing but absolute love for every single one of my family members,” she said. “If I learned anything from last year, being so open and feeling like I had to defend myself at times, I don’t feel like there’s anything else that I need to say. I just have to leave it where it is because those conversations are meant to be personal.”
