AEW talent and personality Rebel, real name Tanea Brooks, announced on Instagram that she recently underwent surgery to remove a tumor in her body.
“It’s not a Tumah ~ Kindegarten Cop. Ok, it is, but it’s out now ☺️. Still healing with another surgery. Trying to get better from when I was hospitalized last May 2024.”
Prior to her surgery, Rebel had stated this past May that she was losing hope over her doctors not being able to give her the answers to what she has been battling since her last hospitalization in May of 2024. Rebel had been hospitalized at the time due to her dealing with a mass in her lung that was discovered to have been pneumonia.
Another day, another Dr. visit, no answers and not any better. It’s been a year since I was hospitalized and I’m losing Hope. I’m down and defeated but I’m still fighting 😔😬 pic.twitter.com/Wd6Apu9rQr
