The internet is holding its breath after viral sensation Shay was rushed to the hospital following a life-threatening seizure captured in real-time by her distraught mother, Aunty Dee, during a tearful TikTok Live.
Shay, one half of the beloved sister duo Bria and Shay, known for their heartwarming and often humorous glimpses into their lives as autistic adults, reportedly suffered the serious medical emergency while at home.
According to a tearful livestream by their Aunt D, Shay experienced a seizure at home and was rushed to the hospital. Aunt D’s emotional account painted a frightening picture. She described finding Shay shaking, her face turned black, and with foam and blood coming from her mouth.
Aunt D recounted her frantic efforts to care for both Shay and her non-verbal sister, Bria, while waiting for the ambulance.
For those unfamiliar, Shay and her sister Bria, who are 29 and 28, respectively, became internet sensations after a clip from October 2024 went viral. In the “She Hurt Me a Lil’ With My Ariana Grande Shirt On” video, Shay humorously described an accidental poke from Bria, all while Bria sported an Ariana Grande t-shirt. This relatable moment resonated with millions, leading to countless memes and recreations.
The sisters’ viral fame even caught the attention of Ariana Grande herself! Back in November 2024, Ariana sent them a heartfelt message and a care package. This wasn’t just a fleeting online interaction; Ariana followed up with a personal meeting with Shay and Bria, a touching moment that fans adored. A video of their meeting showed Shay singing for Ariana, showcasing her vocal talent and leaving fans in awe of this beautiful connection.
Now, the internet community that has embraced Bria and Shay is understandably worried. The details shared by Aunt D paint a picture of a severe medical event, especially considering she mentioned Shay had never experienced a seizure before.
While Bria was reportedly present during the initial emergency, Aunt D’s livestream didn’t mention her whereabouts during the hospital rush, leaving some fans concerned. However, the primary focus remains on Shay’s well-being and recovery.
As we await further updates, the TikTok community and beyond are sending their thoughts and prayers to Shay for a swift and full recovery. We’re all hoping for positive news soon and sending strength to Shay, Bria, and their family during this difficult time.
