Brazilian superstar Pocah says she was hospitalized with severe stomach pain after holding in gas around her boyfriend.
As first reported by Newshub, the singer born Viviane de Queiroz Pereira shared the ordeal with her 15.7 million Instagram followers in a since-deleted post. “I woke up at 5:30am with severe stomach pains and ended up in the hospital,” she wrote. “But that’s it, guys. I’m now fine. Just an accumulation of trapped farts.”
Pocah said that she was inspired to ignore her gastrointestinal distress by a medical advice video on TikTok, which she now regrets. “Girls, don’t be ashamed to fart in front of your guy,” Pocah said. “Because what’s really embarrassing is not letting your guy sleep because you’re in discomfort, going to hospital with your guy, and the diagnosis being ‘trapped farts.'”
She added that she would be wary of natural gas buildups in the future, writing, “From now on, I’m letting them rip, guys.”
