Mo’Nique took to social media to thank her attentive fans who alerted her to have her thyroid checked because of her bulging neck.

The Oscar-winning actress and comedian admitted that she initially blew off her fans by telling them she “just has a fat neck.” 

I kept trying to avoid what was being said. 

But, she eventually went to the doctor only to discover she did have something going on with her thyroid. 

Mo’Nique expressed her gratitude saying, “For the people who kept bringing it to my attention I want to say thank you.”

She also advised other women not to delay getting checked out when something isn’t right.

So please…take it from me – don’t put it off. Don’t neglect what you know you need to go get dealt with,” she said. 

Again, Mo’Nique thanked her observant and attentive fans.

For the ones who kept pointing it out. Thank you, my sweet babies. Thank you for caring enough to say, ‘Auntie, your neck is fat.’

It appears Mo’Nique’s thyroid condition has impacted the sound of her voice.

I’m wishing her a full and speedy recovery.

Frens, how about we all just schedule a health check-up? You know, to be on the safe side.
