Emily in Paris star Ashley Park, who plays Mindy Chen on the hit Netflix series, revealed Friday she suffered a grave health scare after experiencing “critical septic shock” during a vacation around New Year’s Day.
Park, 32, posted a series of photos on Instagram that showed her receiving care in the hospital. She said the condition started as tonsillitis, which quickly spiraled into a potentially life-threatening ordeal that landed her in an intensive care unit for weeks.
“As I sit here processing and recovering from the first few weeks of 2024, the only word I can think of is grateful,” wrote Park. “I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told.”
