As far as insiders who spoke to TMZ about the situation could say, Ms. Juicy had actually been eating well and focusing on her health over the last two years or so.
These sources were unaware of any pressing health concerns facing the 50-year old.
Pearson initially came on board served Little Women: Atlanta as a guest star back when the series premiered in 2016.
She was later promoted to a full-time costar in the second season and has maintained that status through the most recent sixth season, which kicked off in early 2021.
This sixth season began with the cast paying tribute to former star Ashley “Minnie” Ross, who died in a fatal car accident in April 2020.
“So much has changed after we began filming this season of Little Women: Atlanta,” said Pearson, who was especially close with Ross, early on the premiere.
