DeWanda Wise had an epic 2018. Her lead role in Spike Leeâs Netflix reboot of âSheâs Gotta Haveâ it received rave reviews and was renewed for a second season. She also landed a role in âCaptain Marvelâ co-starring opposite Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, and Ben Mendelsohn.
But it seems that as wonderful as her career is, it isnât all peaches and cream. A few days ago, the star took to Instagram to reveal her battle with depression.
âYa girl got some pretty challenging news this week, & on this #InternationalWomensDay I find myself battling sadness & #depression. Still, Iâm thankful for the highs and lows. Combined they make me both confident and compassionate. In them I find just how strong my weaknesses are. I keep hearing âLife is not happening to you, itâs happening for youâ & today Iâm struggling to make the truth of that stick. Thank you to all the women whose resolve & tenacity keeps me going. @kdgiggles @lhgill @wayetu @appleofhisai & insta-less Misha. If youâre battling something today, letâs make another day together. @jefftse123â
We have no idea what the bad news is, but fans were appreciative of her pure honesty and offered her tons of support in response.
Weâre sending positive vibes Ms. Wiseâs way. Feel better soon!
