NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA: ‘Selling Sunset’ star Heather Rae El Moussa revealed that she is suffering from “severe nerve” and back pain. The reality star had also noted to her fans and followers that she has been advised to be on bed rest. So when the star posted images of her Christmas celebration, social media trolls decided to take the opportunity to bash Heather for seeking attention. But it looks like the soon-to-be mother has clapped back at the haters.

When the ‘Selling Sunset’ star posted a new photo of herself on Christmas day, wrapped up in a leopard print robe and all decked up with a face full of makeup, an online troll took the opportunity to comment on the photo asking why Heather was not in bed. The comment read, “A little surprised with all the photos and outings…last week you said you were put on bed rest by your doctor. 🤷‍♀️” And while there were many other similar comments by netizens on the Instagram post, one particular comment didn’t go unnoticed by the reality star. In her response, Heather said, “I need rest. That’s her suggestion. But I am raising 2 children 50 % of the time and I have obligations. I am in severe pain, but the baby is in zero harm & I have to push through. Days I have off yes I rest and lay in bed.”

Heather also responded to a now-deleted comment which probably called out the actor for wanting attention. In the same thread addressing the social media user, Heather commented, “Nothing is for attention. So you assume wrong. I have severe sciatica pain but life goes on. Just like I had to film 2 shows the last time I have severe sciatica. Just because my Dr recommends bed rest doesn’t mean my life allows it. The baby is in zero harm, but I am in pain. The days I am able to rest I stay in bed most of the day. But no I can lay in bed day after day hour after hour. No not for attention, wish I didn’t feel the pain but it’s very very much there.”



 

Heather revealed that she suffered from sciatica in a recent Instagram story. According to US magazine, she said, “My sciatica is on another level. I’m in so much pain and so I came up to rest (and) lay on the bed (with) a heating pad.” She called it “unbearable” and said, “It’s unbearable and at this point, I’m peeing like five to six times a night, so I’m, like, rolling myself out of bed, screaming in pain.”
