Supermodel Anok Yai has taken to social media to share some sad health news as she’s gotten a new diagnosis, which has forced her to pause her career. Chest pains and vomiting blood were two of the horrifying symptoms that led to the diagnosis.
Anok Yai is one of the brightest shining stars in the moonlight world. The 28-year-old became only the second black model, after Naomi Campbell, to open a Prada Show and has appeared on many covers, including Harper’s Bazaar, Allure, and Vogue, in recent years.
Moreover, Yai has walked the runway for Burberry and Versace and appeared in commercials for Tiffany & Co. and Nike, among others.
However, the Cairo, Egypt, native has now been forced to pause her career. On Instagram, the model wrote that she has been fighting a “silent battle” over the past year.
