Snoop Dogg’s daughter has “always been depressed” since being diagnosed with lupus in her younger years.
Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus recounts depression battle
Cori Broadus used to question why she suffered from the autoimmune condition at a young age, and she went into a “dark, deep space” when the coronavirus pandemic struck.
Speaking on E! show ‘Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story’, she said: “Since a little girl I’ve always been depressed, I’ve always been ‘why me?’
“Just being young and sick with Lupus, it was hard.
“Going to the doctors all the time, taking blood pressure medications. So, once COVID hit, I was just in a dark, deep space.”
Cori was admitted to a mental health facility after she tried to take her own life amid the pandemic, but she is grateful to have the support of her fiancé Wayne Duece.
She added: “I was in a mental facility because I tried to commit suicide, I think, in 2021.
“I am so lucky to have Wayne, but still, we’re all going through something.
“It will be OK, and it does come with time.
“I feel like, when we’re in a certain space or place, it feels like the end of the world.”
In January, Cori was hospitalised after she suffered a stroke, and the 25-year-old entrepreneur admitted she was “scared” at the time.
Speaking in the three-part series, she said: “My health was declining.
“Doctor comes in, ‘Cori, you had a stroke.’ I’m hurting, I’m scared. Why is this happening to me?”
Cori spent a week in hospital after suffering a stroke at ‘The Underdoggs’ premiere, and she kept her followers regularly updated.
Alongside a photo of herself in her hospital bed, Cori wrote on Instagram at the time: “I had a severe stroke this am. I started breaking down crying when they told me. (sic)”
Days later, she announced her kidneys were already “improving so much”.
She wrote on her Instagram Stories: “God is working overtime you hear me! My kidneys were doing terrible … doctors came in this AM and said they are improving so much (sic)”
