Larsa Pippen tests positive for COVID-19

Larsa Pippen has unfortunately joined the long list of celebrities to test positive for COVID-19.

Larsa is always sharing selfies and life updates with fans, but on November 13, she shared an update she was less than thrilled about. “I’ve been battling Covid for a week,” the reality star captioned a photo of herself in bed, according to People. “It’s no joke I’ve never felt pain like this!” she added.

Apparently, Larsa Pippen thought twice about sharing her diagnosis with the world, because she later deleted the post. However, a report from Us Weekly was able to confirm Pippen did indeed test positive for the virus, and shared some of her symptoms.

“She’s been battling it for a week with a hard time breathing,” Pippen’s rep said. “She’s had horrible body aches. We’re hoping she starts feeling better soon.”

The diagnosis comes amid another battle Larsa has been facing: A public feud with the Kardashians. The former bestie of the famous family had a falling out with the sisters in 2020, and the end of their relationship has been making headlines especially as of late.

When Pippen appeared on the Hollywood Raw podcast in early November, she spilled all the tea on the show, and particularly dropped the bombshell news that she once dated Tristan Thompson.

“I was kinda seeing Tristan before Khloé. Before Khloé or any of them knew he existed,” she said in a shocking admission. “I was seeing him, I had him come to L.A., I brought him to a party Kim [Kardashian] had. I introduced him to all of them.”

While it’s still unclear exactly what went down between Larsa Pippen and the KarJenners, she did tie a lot of the drama to Kanye West. “If Kanye feels like him and Kim are better without me, then let them be without me. I’m OK with that,” she said at one pointed during the podcast, adding that she feels the rapper “brainwashed” Kim.

Amid the drama, here’s to hoping Larsa is able to focus on herself and get better soon! Coronavirus cases in the U.S. are currently surging, and it’s time for everyone to remember to take this pandemic seriously.
