“I just wanted to let you guys know that I am back,” she shared. “I’m not at 100 percent, but I am still healing. This is a video to let all my fans, all my supporters, to let you guys know that I have been released from the hospital. I am at home.”
She added that she’s been undergoing treatment at a rehabilitation clinic, and thanked everyone for their prayers, calls, texts and messages of support on social media.

Ms. Juicy, whose full name is Shirlene King Pearson, then gave further details about the type of stroke that she suffered. She said she had a brain bleed, which can cause memory loss and “different things for different people.”

In a second video on Instagram, Ms. Juicy gave more details about her recovery and asked fans to “keep praying” for her.
She also mentioned the GoFundMe page started by her sister Tanya Evans and thanked everyone who has donated. On Monday morning, the page had reached $18,000 of its $25,000 goal.
“There is only one way to do and one way to go now, and that is up,” she said later in the video as she fought back tears.
