Sandra Lee, the dermatologist and star of Lifetime’s Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out, has revealed that she suffered an on-set stroke during filming of Season 2 last November.
The incident led to a two-month pause in production for the season, which is scheduled to begin airing on April 20. Lee said she initially experienced symptoms she mistook for a hot flash, including sudden sweating and a feeling that something was not right. As filming continued, her condition worsened, with symptoms including restlessness, shooting pain in one leg, difficulty holding up her hand, and trouble speaking clearly.
She later recalled questioning whether she was having a stroke as her speech became slurred and weakness developed on one side of her body. An MRI confirmed she had experienced an ischemic stroke, which she described as affecting part of her brain.
Lee underwent physical and occupational therapy in the months that followed and said she made significant recovery, though she also experienced post-traumatic stress afterward. She has since encouraged others to pay close attention to health factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and stress.
She said her own blood pressure and cholesterol had not been under control at the time, and noted the high stress of her work between patients and filming. Lee described the experience as a difficult but eye-opening event that pushed her to focus more on her health.
