‘I like the feeling of having some sometimes’: Emma Roberts has no shame about body hair

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Roberts is not “ashamed” of her body hair.
The ‘American Horror Story’ star has periods where she embraces body hair, particularly when she is not required to look her best for acting projects.
Emma told InStyle: “I personally don’t think that body hair is anything to be ashamed of. For me, it’s all phases. I like the feeling of not having some, and then I like the feeling of having some sometimes, so it just goes back and forth.
“Like I said, when it comes to face and brows, it’s really about how my products are going to be on my face and how my makeup’s going to be on my face. And when you’re in front of the camera, you have to unfortunately be more aware of it. Definitely when I’m not working, I am not necessarily as hard on myself as when I’m working, just because everybody has an opinion.”
She added: “I like that I’ve been seeing [body hair] on social media more, because I love seeing what everyone’s using and doing beauty-wise online. I like seeing different faces and different trends and not everybody just doing the same thing, which I think is cool.”
The star is known for her striking brows and finds it hard to keep up with the trends surrounding body hair.
Emma explained: “Well, it’s so funny. It’s a two-part answer about my brows. One being that if you look at my first license photo, the arch in my brow is so intense and they’re so skinny and dark that it doesn’t even look like me, and I just remember that was so the look back then. And now, I definitely go way longer without removing hair from my brows. I try to let them grow in and then just maintain them.
“It’s just so funny, because when you’re in the moment of a trend with brows or hair, you never know you’re in the trend until you’re out of it — and then you can’t believe it. But the first thing I remember about my brows, because we all get made fun of for something growing up that sticks with us, was that I was in school and this kid told me I had a unibrow. I didn’t know what that was, and I went home and my mom felt so bad for me. And that was when I started to become aware that, ‘Wait, you’re supposed to get your eyebrows done? What do you mean?’ I couldn’t have been more than 6 or 7. So yeah, my brows have really gone on a journey with me.”

Chioma Nnadi named as British Vogue’s new editor

OHMYGOSSIP — Chioma Nnadi is “beyond excited” and “honoured” to be named as the new editor of British Vogue.
The London-born journalist will become the first Black female to edit the celebrated fashion magazine when she takes over from the outgoing Edward Enniful on October 9.
Nnadi will be known as head of editorial content, rather than editor-in-chief, once she takes up the post.
Speaking to The Guardian, Nnadi said: “Is there pressure? Yeah, there’s definitely pressure – it’s Vogue.
“It still means something to be in Vogue, it still has authority. [And there’s pressure] because of Edward. He broke new ground. It’s more than being part of a magazine – it’s part of the cultural conversation.”
Nnadi, the daughter of a Swiss-German mother and a Nigerian father, hailed the progress that Vogue has made in terms of diversity since Enniful became editor in 2017.
She added: “As a Black woman, but also as a biracial woman, how I view the world is also how I see it – through a lens that is influenced by my background, by where I live, and by having parents from different cultures and having to move between these cultures.
“Things have changed a lot. When I started out, there was one other Black person working in the building, and we both went to the same college. It wasn’t the same place it is now. Obviously, matters of diversity and inclusion should always be on the agenda, but it feels like more of an open conversation now, and that feels to me like progress.”

Anne Hathaway: Don’t tell me I look good for my age!

OHMYGOSSIP — Anne Hathaway does not consider it a compliment when people tell her she looks good for her age.
The 40-year-old actress regards the concept of ageing as irrelevant and sees the process as “another word for living”.
In an interview with Today, Anne said: “I don’t think about age.
“To me, ageing is another word for living. So, if people want to pay a compliment, it’s nice. But whatever the hype is, I’m interested in what’s beyond the concept of hype.”
The ‘Devil Wears Prada’ star also explained that she has learned to be kinder to herself now she has grown older and is also better at “sharing”.
She explained: “I’m right at that point where I have a much better sense of how I like to do things.
“I’m so much better at sharing. I feel like I’m kinder to myself and kinder to others.”
Hathaway was recently announced as the face of Shiseido’s Vital Perfection product range, an opportunity that she considers to be a dream come true.
She told People: “I feel like I’m punching above my weight class with this one.
“I’ve known about Shiseido as a company since I was first starting out as an actress. I worked with a makeup artist who used Shiseido products on me, so I’ve always known their quality.
“It was amazing to realise that a company so timeless, so synonymous with excellence and care and thoughtfulness could want me.
“It was an incredible compliment and I decided to say yes before they changed their minds.”

Kelly Rowland doesn’t follow style trends: ‘I just like to have fun with fashion’

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelly Rowland likes to “have fun” with fashion.
The former Destiny’s Child star doesn’t like to follow trends when it comes to red carpet looks.
She told PEOPLE: “I just like to have fun with fashion.
“I don’t like to follow anybody. I like to do what I feel.”
During her time in the iconic girl group alongside Beyonce and Michelle Williams, the girls wore co-ordinated looks, and Kelly recalled how she “couldn’t breathe” in the corsets they rocked to the 2000 Video Music Awards.
She said: “It was these corsets.
“I remember I could not breathe to save my life, but it looked amazing. We had stones on these black corsets and skirts and it was different variations of corsets. It was dope.”
Elsewhere, Kelly spoke about her flawless complexion and how her go-to tool is a Shani Darden LED light that she sleeps under “every night”.
She said: “There’s this light by Shani Darden, the LED light, and it’s not cheap. But I literally sleep under it every night.”
“It’s like a 20 to 30-minute time limit. When I’m under there, it [has] red lights, blue lights and other colours of light.
“But those are the ones that I use the most, and they are so awesome because of the simple fact that they are like killing germs and [helping with] anti-aging, which is amazing.”

Elizabeth Banks reveals her skincare regrets and why she’s trying the ‘holistic approach’

OHMYGOSSIP — Elizabeth Banks is “trying” the “holistic approach” to skincare.
The ‘Cocaine Bear’ star, who turns 50 early next year, has become the face of British skincare brand No7 and has explained how over the years she has gotten “too much sun, not enough hydration” and “not enough sleep,” which can all impact the skin.
She told WWD: “I’m approaching a milestone birthday soon, and I think I’ve had some skincare regrets in my life.”
Elizabeth continued: “When I say that, what I mean is I just think I haven’t put my skin first.
“I mean, we all know it — too much sun, not enough hydration, not enough sleep. I think your best skin starts from within. So, sleep and diet, that really matters. I’m trying to take a holistic approach. And then you also need things like No7 to, you know, to take that sort of external approach. There’s the internal and the external. And I think that, for me, that’s what this moment is about. It’s sort of, ‘How do I incorporate products in a holistic routine?’”
It was the brand’s “science-backed formulas” that allured Elizabeth to join No7.
She said: “What I love about No7 is, one, they have science-backed formulas.
“I’m totally a science nerd. And they’re proven to reverse visible signs of skin damage and ageing….The other thing I really love about them, honestly, is it’s an approachable company. They’re accessible. There’s a true accessibility about them. You know, it feels like it’s for everyone. I feel like I’m getting an incredibly quality product but, frankly, at drugstore prices, and I just love that.”

Emma Mackey opens up on acne struggle

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Mackey suffered from “really intense cystic and hormonal acne” throughout her teens and twenties.
The ‘Sex Education’ star has had to battle extreme breakouts for over a decade and after trying various treatments to zap the zits she finally had the problem under control thanks to a daily skincare routine that healed her skin.
Speaking to Vogue, Emma, 27, said: “I try to keep it simple. I’ve had really bad skin for most of my twenties – really intense cystic and hormonal acne and often all at once! I stopped being a teenager and the acne carried on in adult life – I was like, what’s happening?! I used all kinds of skincare, including retinol and acids, and that just made everything much worse. So now I use a La Roche-Posay cleanser and Dermallergo Fluid moisturiser, which are great. I try and keep my routine really pared back and exfoliate once a week.”
The ‘Death On The Nile’ star also pays regular visits to traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Ada Ooi whose facials keep the breakouts at bay.
She added: “I’m lucky to go and get facials with Ada Ooi. That’s obviously a huge treat but it helps to go once every couple of months, and it calms me down too. I’m trying to work on the inside as well [as the outside], and balance everything out so I don’t spend too much on skincare.”
Emma’s acne also affected her mental health and she suffered from anxiety over the appearance of her skin, something she has had to work on.
She said: “I just think that less is more. I’ve been so anxious about my skin – I think about it all the time and it made me spiral for years, which sounds really stupid, but it takes up so much headspace when you don’t have good skin. So teaching my brain new habits and trying not to worry about it so much, as well as paring everything back, has honestly been the best thing.”

He wrote: “This morning I woke up with the smile, starting the fittings for my next show at 9 a.m. and this is what happened…50 Balmain pieces stolen. Our delivery was hijacked. The [truck] got stolen. Thank god, the driver is safe,
“So many people worked so hard to make this collection happen. We are redoing everything but this is so so disrespectful.”
Oliver is due to showcase his collection at Paris Fashion Week, which takes place from September 25 to October 3 this year.
The truck was carrying the final pieces of his women’s wear spring/summer 2024 line, which means he now has his work cut out.
Rousteing, 37, added: “We will work more, days and nights, our suppliers will work days and night as well.
“So many workers, suppliers, my team and I. Please be safe, this is the world we are living in. Love you my Balmain team and we won’t give up.”

Helena Christensen: I have 300,000 pictures in my phone

OHMYGOSSIP — Helena Christensen is obsessed with photography and has “300,000 pictures in my phone”.
The ’90s supermodel – who has been been posing for shoots since she was just six years old – gets excited by opportunities for photos and is constantly taking snaps and even if they don’t turn out perfectly she keeps them.
In an interview with WWD, she said: “I have 300,000 pictures in my phone. I don’t even know how that’s possible. The iCloud above my head is about to burst. But it’s the little things mostly that I find, I don’t know — it’s like my eyes are constantly focusing in on things. And I think it’s also a psychological way of extending time, perhaps, because the more I see, the more I feel.”
Helena – who along with Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss was one of the original supermodels – says her passion for her hobby has led to her framing everything she sees in the world as a potential photograph.
The 54-year-old Dutch icon said: “I get very upset about the missed pictures.
“I take advantage of the life that we have in a strange way. I frame everything. Everything I look at everywhere now is almost turned into a little square in front of my face. Everything catches my eyes. And then I have to stop myself from not taking too many photos because people around me find me really annoying. I [take] so many s–tty pictures, but once in a while, there’s something that is special and it’s worth it.”

Adele: I look like Casper, The Friendly Ghost without a tan

OHMYGOSSIP — Adele hates how quickly her tan has faded and claims she looks like “Casper, The Friendly Ghost” when she is naked.
The ‘Easy On Me’ hitmaker spent hours basking in the sun during her summer break but all that tanning effort has gone to waste as her natural skin colour has quickly returned.
Adele, 35, says her complexion is comparable to the popular translucent cartoon character
Speaking during one of her ‘Weekends with Adele’ concerts in Las Vegas, she said: “I got out of the shower and I look like Casper, The Friendly Ghost.
“My tan is gone, right? I spent a lot of this summer in my break laying out by my pool, getting a nice tan and it’s gone.”
The music megastar joked that thanks to the enforced lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic she was able to soak up some much-needed Vitamin D.
She added: “My favourite memory in in 2020, my tan, my tan in 2020 was f****** amazing. I was in the shape of my life.”
In the past few years, Adele has overhauled her lifestyle, changing her diet and sticking to a personalised exercise regime which has resulted in her losing over 100lbs.
Previously sharing her fitness regime with Vogue, she said: “I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night. I’m an athlete, I love it!”

Maggie Gyllenhaal feels like Yoko Ono in ‘unusual’ Lafayette 148 trousers

OHMYGOSSIP — Maggie Gyllenhaal feels like Yoko Ono in a pair of grey leather pants by Lafayette 148.
The Hollywood actress is the new face of the quirky American fashion house – with A-list clientele including Michelle Obama, Dame Helen Mirren, Melissa McCarthy, Glenn Close, and Oprah Winfrey – and says she chanelled the 90-year-old widow of the late Beatles legend John Lennon in the “unusual” trousers.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, Maggie said: “They’re very kind of ’70s and I almost feel like Yoko Ono wearing it or something really cool. Unusual, beautiful colour, grey.”
The ‘Dark Knight’ star loves how the clothes she’s worn remind her of moments in her life.
She explained: “Clothes have always been important to me, mostly because I think they are a way of expressing yourself.
“I remember my mom used to say that she always remembered things, places, and events by what she was eating, and I remembered them by what I was wearing.”
Asked why Lafayette 148 chose Maggie, 45, to front its fall 2023 collection, creative director Emily Smith said: “Her take on modern evening … read slightly mischievous while refined.
“This personified my admiration for her unique sense of sophisticated style and intellectual work—both on and off camera, and particularly in her screenwriting…. I admire her sense of ease, her sense of self and her humble, quiet, yet powerful confidence! I couldn’t be more excited to unveil this campaign and tell this very special story together.”
Whilst it’s mostly about the fashion pieces, the partnership has enabled her to speak about other things close to her heart.
Maggie added: “Of course it’s clothes that are the centre of all of this, but the clothes became a kind of excuse to talk about a lot of other things and a lot of things that are interesting to me, like writing and movies and women.”

Naomi Campbell on her PrettyLittleThing line: ‘I get to speak to a younger generation of which I didn’t think even knew who I was’

OHMYGOSSIP — Naomi Campbell created a PrettyLittleThing line because she doesn’t believe young women know who she is.
The 53-year-old supermodel has teamed up with the online fashion retailer on the Designed by Naomi Campbell collection.
Explaining the reason behind the line in a two-part documentary, she said: “I get to speak to a younger generation of which I didn’t think even knew who I was.
“When I think fashion, fashion does not discriminate. I can’t wait to see all these lovely young women wearing my designs.
“I want young girls to take from this collection to be themselves, to feel confident in how they wear these clothes and designed by me and interpret who they are in the clothes. So bringing their own essence, style swag to the outfits.”
Naomi recently insisted she wants to be a “changemaker” even if it means embracing “fast fashion”.
The 90s fashion icon has teamed up with two emerging designers in a bid to bring about change in the fast fashion industry.
As quoted by Women’s Wear Daily, she said: “I’m looking at myself as a changemaker. As a changemaker, I thought this was something that was a good thing to do.
“I know that it’s fast fashion, and that people have their criticism. I’m not denying them.
“But as a changemaker, I felt this was a great way to effect change in the industry in getting my emerging designers recognized and seeing them on a global platform.”
The supermodel is keen to see the industry open up “all borders” and not “discriminate”.
She added: “If their dream is to show, then let them show.
“Giving them the support that they need is the most important thing, whether that is how they manufacture or produce. That’s why I started Emerge [in 2021].”
She was drawn to designers Victor Anate and Edvin Thompson through their respective heritages – Nigerian and Jamaican – and also by the possibility of discovering how “a whole different audience” looks at fashion.
She said: “I’m 53. It’s [a matter of] getting to know a whole different audience that I didn’t know before or I thought I didn’t know, or I thought they didn’t know me.”
However, she wasn’t going to be drawn on assessing the “diversity” of the current fashion landscape.
She explained: “I’m so over the word. This is my point – I feel like so many people just use that word to tick a box, to make sure that they’re not called out or anything like that. I don’t use that word.
“For me, it’s not about using the word or ticking a box — it’s about doing the action, the pure action. It’s giving a part of your platform and sharing it with someone, who is talented.”

Vanessa Hudgens reveals her ‘biggest beauty culture shock’

OHMYGOSSIP — Vanessa Hudgens was left shocked when an Asian makeup artist tried to make her skin look like porcelain.
The 34-year-old actress wants everyone to know she is Filipino and one way she does that is by showing off her natural skin colour.
Speaking to Allure, she said of the “beauty culture shock”: “I looked in the mirror and I was like, ‘Ohhh!’.
“They were about porcelain skin, which is definitely a choice — not necessarily my choice. I want to be a bronze beauty. The tanner, I am the happier I am, and the healthier I look and feel, so that isn’t my bag, really.”
The KNOW Beauty co-founder is hoping to use ingredients from the Philippines in her skincare line.
She said: “I just love looking to nature to find ingredients.
“There’s so much that Mother Nature has for us.”
Asked if she will be sourcing ingredients from her mom’s nation, she replied that it’s “something that’s being thrown around by me, constantly, and we’re working towards.”
Due to her ‘High School Musical’ alter ego being called Gabriella Montez, people used to assume that Vanessa was Latina.
She shared: “Obviously, I became famous for High School Musical. And my character is Gabriella Montez, so everyone automatically assumed that I was Latina, and most people still do. And when I tell them I’m Filipino, they’re like, ‘What?!’ You haven’t met my mother. I think that I’m quite ambiguous so people don’t really know. But I am doing everything that I can to let people know, because I am proud.”

Naomie Harris ditched fashion brand plan to team with OMNES

OHMYGOSSIP — Naomie Harris ditched a plan to launch her own sustainable fashion brand when she was offered the chance to team up with OMNES.
The James Bond star connected with the environmentally-friendly clothing company to create her own collection of “planet-conscious red-carpet dresses” and she’s revealed the deal helped her live out her dream of selling clothing with a conscience.
Speaking to Stylist magazine, she explained: “For a while I’d thought about starting my own brand because I wanted to do something sustainable that was also size and price inclusive, but I stumbled across OMNES who were doing exactly that and I contacted them about designing a capsule collection.
I’m so glad it happened that way.”
When launching her designs with the company, she explained her vision for the collection and revealed the plan came about during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
She said: “Designing has been my lifelong passion, and during lockdown, I had the opportunity to indulge in it by enlisting an illustrator to bring my ideas to life. The most important aspect of clothing is how it serves a woman’s body. We wanted this collection to be comfortable, confident, freeing, and bold.”
A message from OMNES added: “This debut collection finds synergy between our brand philosophy that fashion shouldn’t cost the earth with Naomie’s own passion for accessible and inclusive garments for any occasion including walking the red carpet. This four-piece capsule features vibrant colour-block designs, made from premium and innovative fabrics including deadstock, organic cotton and recycled materials.”
The designs include a yellow organic cotton dress which retails for £75 as well as a black gown with tassels created from recycled polyester which is on sale for £135.

Rita Ora spent almost two years working on Primark collection

OHMYGOSSIP — Rita Ora spent almost two years working on her range for budget store Primark.
The pop star has teamed up with the Irish firm to launch the ‘Rita Ora x Primark’ capsule collection which includes knitwear, denim, tailoring, casualwear and outerwear, plus accessories and shoes – and Rita has insisted the collaboration is close to her heart because she relied on the retailer for affordable fashion when she was younger.
She said: “Throughout my life, I have always wanted to look stylish, and when I was younger, I couldn’t have done that without Primark. I could always stretch my budget with so many great pieces. That is really when I learned how to get creative and play with fashion.”
A post on the company’s website underlined the singer’s dedication to making the products affordable, adding: “The seeds for the partnership were first sown almost two years ago when Primark and Rita first met in early 2022. As the cost-of-living crisis began to rise, Rita was excited by the prospect of developing her own affordable fashion collection that offered quality and value.
“Primark has always been about making fashion affordable for everyone and Rita felt passionately about creating an on-trend collection that was both wallet-friendly and accessible.”
Rita’s other vision for the collection was versatility – making sure many of the items can mixed and matched and switched up from day to eveningwear.
Jermaine Lapwood, Director of Future Trends and Innovation at Primark, said: “In a world of collaboration overload, it’s more important than ever for brand partnerships to be rooted in genuine authenticity and connection.
“We’ve known Rita to be a Primark fan for a long time, but it was only when we ran into her almost two years ago and got chatting that we realised the extent of her love for the brand. The instant chemistry between both parties was undeniable.”

Charities and doctors are ‘livid’ the COVID-19 Inquiry has excluded representatives from Long Covid Groups

OHMYGOSSIP — Leading doctors and charities in the UK are “livid” that the COVID-19 enquiry has excluded representatives from Long Covid Groups.
Module 4 of the COVID-19 Inquiry opens this week and will examine the roll out of vaccines, therapeutics and anti-viral treatment across Britain.
It is chaired by Baroness Heather Hallett, a former Court of Appeal Judge responsible for making procedural decisions, hearing evidence and making findings and recommendations. However, Hallett has made the decision to exclude representation from any Long Covid Group.
The Long Covid Groups, which comprise of the charities Long Covid Kids, Long Covid Physio, Long Covid SOS and Long Covid Support, submitted an application to be recognised as Core Participants in Module 4 in the summer, only to be refused.
By not investigating Long Covid in Module 4, the Inquiry is in effect saying that there is no need to investigate pharmaceutical interventions which could prevent and treat Long Covid and the exclusion of the Long Covid Groups dismisses the profound impact that Long Covid has had, and continues to have, on many people in the UK.
Jane Ryan – a partner at the law firm Bhatt Murphy which specialises in defending civil liberties and represented the Long Covid Group in Modules 2 and 3 of the Covid-19 Inquiry – said: “In my view the decision shows the massive inequality of arms between ordinary members of the public seeking accountability for long term damage to their health from COVID-19 and the Government.
“Unlike Rishi Sunak and the Cabinet Office my clients do not have the financial resources to take the COVID-19 Inquiry to Court to review the decision. It is imperative that the COVID-19 Inquiry properly considers through out every aspect of its investigation the long-term harm done by COVID-19. To avoid and minimise Long Covid is an error the Government made throughout the pandemic resulting in devastating long-term harm to the health of thousands of people in the UK. Those shameful mistakes should not be repeated by the Inquiry: Long Covid should be central to the investigation throughout.”
In 2021 Long Covid Kids became the first registered charity advocating for families, children and young people living with Long Covid anywhere in the world.
Currently supporting 11,000 families, the charity’s vision is to achieve recognition, support and recovery for Long Covid and related illnesses in children and young people. Their omission from Module 4 has left the trustees and CEO angry.
Meredith Leston, public health consultant and Trustee of Long Covid Kids, said: “Children and those with a known history of COVID infection were originally excluded in the vaccine development trials that informed the products we all rely upon today. This is why it is absolutely essential that Module 4 prioritises the voices and vaccination experiences of young patients still struggling to return to health after infection.
“With a complete absence of targeted vaccine effectiveness or safety research in patients of this profile, this information will not be available in any other form than the rich testimony our community is willing to offer. It is a mistake to exclude them once again.”
The charity’s CEO Sammie McFarland added: “We are livid. Even today, the public remains insufficiently informed about the profound risks associated with Long Covid – a nuanced, life-altering condition that is preventable. The denial of representation to the Long Covid Group in Module 4, which advocates for almost two million adults and children in the UK affected by Long Covid perpetuates the enduring inequalities faced by countless families.”
With Module 4 focusing on vaccinations and therapeutics, Ondine Sherwood, co-founder of Long Covid SOS, considers both issues are of central importance to people with Long Covid and has demanded answers.
Sherwood said: “Those with Long Covid were abandoned in the decisions around vaccines and our voice should be heard. Having Long Covid means we are proven to have been harmed by COVID-19 infection, in a myriad of ways including devastating loss of ability to live a normal life and contribute to and be part of society.
“Our published research showed that many find symptoms improve after vaccination. We need to know why people with Long Covid were not considered a priority group for vaccines or early intervention with antivirals, despite the significant harm caused to them by the original Covid infection and the risk that reinfection can be severely detrimental to their health. We need these questions answered.”
Professor Danny Altmann – the renowned immunologist and Professor of Immunology at Imperial College London – is bemused that Long Covid sufferers “who continue to pay such a high price” due to the pandemic” have been silenced.
Altmann said: “It is hard to rationalise the omission of any voice for those with Long Covid, who continue to pay such a high price. The impact of COVID-19 cannot be counted solely through hospitalisations and deaths, vital as these are. In addition to over 226,000 deaths, the UK is home to some 1.7 million people with Long Covid – variably unable to resume their old lives. Some 700,000 of these cases have been accrued as a calculated risk of allowing Omicron infections to circulate since early 2022.
“The impacts are seen throughout society, from the destroyed lives and lost employment, to big-picture, policy questions of the economics of losing so many contributory taxpayers (an estimated 3 percent of the workforce), or how and when we might be able to supply the additional healthcare provision needed for them. It’s hard to envisage a comprehensive or valid analysis of the pandemic with these voices excluded.”
Altmann’s comments are backed up by the Office of National Statistics which recently announced that there were more than 400,000 people not in employment and not looking for employment, than there were before the pandemic.
Included among the symptoms of long COVID are fatigue and extreme exhaustion, cognitive impairment, headaches and migraines, skin disorders, depression, gastrointestinal issues, chest pains and cognitive impairment among others.

“They were like, ‘You’re going to kill it.’”
