  "account": "On August 9th, renowned presenter Lamiez Holworthy-Morule experienced an emergency surgery due to a ruptured cyst, which led to the cancellation of her Women’s Day engagements. Her management informed the public that her condition was not life-threatening and requested privacy as she recuperated. In a subsequent video update, Holworthy-Morule disclosed that a recurrent cyst had ruptured, resulting in the medical emergency. She also refuted rumors linking her hospitalization to a breast augmentation procedure, clarifying that she had previously undergone liposuction and body sculpting in 2021 without complications. The presenter emphasized the importance of not overworking oneself, stating, \"There is no honor in working yourself to death because what good is all that hard work if you're dead.\" Holworthy-Morule had previously dealt with recurring cysts that caused significant pain, and she had initially postponed the emergency surgery due to her busy schedule. On the day of her surgery, which coincided with Women’s Day, the cyst had grown to the size of her womb and ruptured, leading to her rushed admission to the hospital around 9 o'clock, with the discovery of additional cysts and endometriosis. Due to internal bleeding, she required a blood transfusion and underwent surgery again a few hours later. The presenter expressed her frustration with the situation, lamenting the physical deterioration of her body and the emotional toll it took on her. She also addressed the issue of online bullying, calling for people to seek therapy and healing, as she herself had done.",
  "summary": "Lamiez Holworthy has revealed that a ruptured cyst led to her emergency surgery on Women’s Day, while saying doctors later confirmed she has endometriosis. The Metro FM presenter also dismissed online claims that her hospitalisation was linked to a BBL.",
