Chase Rolison, daughter of TLC’s T-Boz, revealed she nearly died last year due to complications from lupus. On Reginae Carter’s ‘Heir Time’ podcast, Rolison described spending close to a month in hospital, an experience so disorienting that she initially believed it lasted only three days.
Rolison detailed the severity of her illness, saying she faced three separate life-threatening moments. The aftermath left her struggling with basic movements. She described relearning how to walk and needing around 30 minutes just to sit up. Even eating required assistance as she fought to regain strength and independence.
The 31-year-old’s candid account put a spotlight on the physical and emotional toll lupus exacted on her. Her memory loss during hospitalization complicated the experience further, underscoring the extent of her condition.
Fans responded swiftly, flooding The Shade Room’s Instagram comments with messages of support. Many expressed surprise at the severity of her health battle and extended prayers for both Rolison and her mother. “Oh no.. good to see God is carrying her and mom through,” wrote Instagram user @tessybeee. Another, @brandiomega95, added, “Prayers for all sickness to go away and never return.” Comments like “So sad you never know what people are going through. Prayers for you pretty girl” from @boojeehollywood1908 illustrated the empathy flowing from listeners.
T-Boz’s health has also been a concern this year. In October, TLC’s Chilli disclosed that the singer was sidelined by a sickle cell crisis. During their October 9 concert in Las Vegas, Chilli told fans T-Boz was taking time to recover fully and urged the audience to send her well wishes. The group’s public update followed a statement from their representative confirming T-Boz’s hospitalization and missed performances.
The shared health struggles of mother and daughter have drawn attention to the challenges facing the family. Rolison’s recent revelations add to the public’s understanding of the personal battles behind the scenes.
