The star's mom took to Instagram to share over the weekend, “I was told I had days to live,” uploading photos of herself in the hospital while she was fighting for her life.

“I had miracle Drs [sic] and love from my family and friends to keep me going,” she added. “I fought. The Drs [sic] fought and I was one of the few who made it out.”

Teefey shared the details of her health scare after being bombarded with “personal attacks” regarding her physical appearance in a photo shoot for Entrepreneur magazine that was released on November 18.

“I gained 60lbs plus inflammation from the infection,” she revealed, adding, “I had zero business to be at a photo shoot.”

Teefey expressed gratitude for her life despite facing hate for weight gain. 

“I’m healthy and I will work on myself at my pace,” she said. “It’s a miracle I am here and could careless if that means I’m a 16 instead of an 8.”
