Waterhouse got vulnerable with fans on X while addressing her absence from the social media platform. She shared two pictures detailing the problem, the first capturing her onstage in green leather pants that stuck to her body like a second skin.

The second image was a selfie of Waterhouse lying on a hospital bed with a tangled mess of white wired earbuds and a blue vape. "Suki, you never tweet anymore. Have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I've been too scared to tell you," she captioned the post.

Waterhouse's words sparked mixed reactions from her followers, with some loving her bold actions while others berated her for vaping in a hospital. One supporter found her post relatable, writing:

Fans Have Mixed Reactions To The Singer's Health Update

Waterhouse's health update resonated with another fan, who claimed, "Vape in the hospital, that was me." An X user labeled the entertainer "a f-cking icon," while a fellow supporter chimed:

"On stage in leather trousers then attached to a drip in hospital later like a true 70s rockstar."

Although many loved Waterhouse's honesty, others criticized her recklessness. "This is what happens when we let Bradley Cooper read us Lolita in the park," someone declared, referencing the singer's infamous relationship with the older actor.

Another critic noted she needed to put the vape down, stressing, "D-mn girl! You gotta be able to breathe!"

Meanwhile, others reacted to the health update with memes and jokes about tight trousers.

Waterhouse's hernia update might shock some fans, given her past wardrobe choices. The entertainer wowed her admirers early this year by choosing comfort over heels while navigating the snow-filled streets in New York City.

She rocked an all-black ensemble featuring an elegant cut-out leather trench coat with black tights and matching dark sunglasses. While many would complete this chic look with heels or boots, Waterhouse protected her feet with trainers from Kurt Geiger's SS25 collection.

The shoe choice added a splash of color to Waterhouse's elegant fit, keeping it chic yet retro. Her outfit, according to Women's Health Magazine, was the perfect trans-seasonal look for women looking to add comfort and personality to their outfits while commuting.

Waterhouse's hernia update comes a year after she welcomed a daughter with her fiancé, Robert Pattinson. The Blast covered the story, reporting that the longtime couple were spotted enjoying a family stroll with the newborn in Los Angeles.

At the time, the couple had not revealed their baby's gender but hinted at their first child being a girl by using an adorable pink stroller. Additionally, the model's mom, Elizabeth, wore a vibrant pink jumper while joining the lovebirds on their stroll.

Waterhouse first announced that she was expecting a child with Pattinson in November 2023, during a performance at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City.

Months after welcoming her daughter, Waterhouse graced the cover of British Vogue and shared her candid thoughts on motherhood. She confessed that she was initially shocked after childbirth because she didn't know babies had to be breastfed every two hours.

"I was alarmed in the hospital when they kept waking me up. I was like, 'Excuse me? Is this what this entails?'" she recalled, per ABC News. Despite her anxiety, Waterhouse pushed through with the help of a good rap playlist and her loving fiancé.

She credited Pattinson for being her biggest supporter, noting: "He was there with me, and like all dads, he was nervous. But for someone who's quite an anxious person, he's been very calm." Waterhouse also dubbed "The Twilight" star the best dad she could hope for.
