- On 7 December 2023, while on Tour with Derek and Julianne, Derek was waiting for her on stage, but what happened was the manager showed up, and said she is not coming. She was in backstage, having full seizures, and as Derek described it,essentialy dying. She was rushed to the hospital and Derek was told she had a severe brain bleed. Derek was told they had to operate right away, and that she might not make it, and even if she does make it, she won'be the same person and that he basically lost the person he once knew. Derek stayed with her, lying on the hospital floor, praying. The next morning when he looked at her, she was missing 40% of her skull, and was unrecognizable. After breathing tubes were taken out, and she was able to speak, she asked what happened and something about dancing? ( Not sure, please if someone can tell correct me, its from their dedication week video before the dance.) Derek knew was gonna be strong and she is gonna fight. And she did. She even danced with Derek in the dedication week.
