Delilah Belle Hamlin, the daughter of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Rinna, has taken to Instagram to provide an update on her health after previously admitting that she was seeking help for an addiction to Xanax.
Hamlin, 23, first opened up about her addiction in a tearful Instagram video in November 2021, where she also revealed that she suffered an accidental Benadryl overdose, Page Six reported at the time. The model, who is the daughter of RHOBH star Rinna and actor Harry Hamlin, said her dependency on Xanax began after a doctor “overprescribed” the medication. She explained:
My body got dependent on Xanax, number one, and number two, I overdosed — I didn’t mean to at all — I overdosed on this one medication called propranolol. I took Benadryl with it, and for some reason, I ended up in the hospital.
She said she began seeing a psychiatrist for a number of health issues, including migraines and panic attacks, and that’s when she was prescribed Xanax. However, her dependency on the drug and several other health issues caused her to feel “hopeless” and she checked herself into a medical treatment center in Arizona.
Unfortunately, the influencer explained that she also developed a brain inflammation at the time which led to her having seizures, and these got so bad that she said she was asked to leave the facility because she was a “medical risk.”
