“Girl I got my period that morning, and my stamina is not up yet after the whole hospital sitch,” she wrote. “I tried my best and I LOVEEEE you for this. I’m ok I swear. I’m sorry if I let u down. Love you I mean it.”

Her response came just weeks after she posted photos from hospital showing herself on IVs and using an oxygen mask, though she did not disclose the reason for her stay.

Her mother, Yolanda Hadid, later referred to Bella’s ongoing battle with Lyme disease, describing her as a “Lyme warrior.” She added that despite countless setbacks, her daughter continues to show resilience.
