This week on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Lisa Vanderpump told the ladies at Kyle Richards's dinner party that Yolanda Foster's ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid, doesn't believe that his children, Bella and Anwar, are also suffering from Lyme disease. After Yolanda left the party early, Lisa said, "[Mohamed] just said no, that she's the only one that has it. He said he doesn't think that they had it."
After the episode aired, both Yolanda and her ex took to their respective Instagram pages to set the record straight. Hadid issued a statement on the photo sharing site on Wednesday, Jan. 27, saying that while he did not wish to make public his family's private matters, he would like to make it clear that he "completely and unequivocally support my children and their mother."
"I can only imagine that my response to a question at dinner asking how my kids are doing with 'fine' was misconstrued," he continued. Taking a jab at the reality show, Hadid captioned his statement, "Not everyone's reality is the true reality! @bravotv @bravoandy @bravowwhl."
On the same day, Yolanda uploaded a photo of herself and Bella showing her lying down beside her daughter as Bella gets treatment for Lyme disease. Yolanda wrote that watching her children "suffer in silence in order to support me in my journey" gave her the strength to continue to fight to find a cure for the debilitating disease.
On her blog, Yolanda revealed that Bella and Anwar were diagnosed at the end of 2013 and have been in holistic treatment ever since. The reality star was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012 and since then, she has been an advocate of finding a cure for the disease and would often take to her social media accounts to post pictures of her undergoing treatment in order to raise awareness for Lyme disease.
Next week, Lisa Rinna decides that it's time to come clean and tell Yolanda about what she and the other ladies have been saying about her disease. In a previous episode, Rinna speculated that Yolanda might have Munchausen's syndrome, a disorder where those affected feign disease or illness to draw attention or sympathy.
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
