On Tuesday, May 5, Paul shared a series of posts to her Instagram Stories, admitting that she was struggling with pain in her body.

In one image, the mother of three is seen standing in front of a mirror wearing band-aids and an Icy Hot patch. “Patches for pain, heat relaxes the tension, IV helps hydrate and supplement when lacking all nutrients due to no appetite, bandaids were deliberate—pain you cannot see,” she captioned one of the slides.

In another post, Paul, 31, poked fun at her Icy Hot patch; however, she said it brings her real healing. “I use them every day along with heat sacks and other relievers due to the amount of pain my body is in,” she wrote.

Paul shared a third post, a DM question from a viewer asking the reality star why she was in “so much physical pain,” to which she replied, “I’ll be sharing how you get to this point, just not today.”

Paul’s admissions came weeks after she made headlines when ABC pulled the plug on her season of “The Bachelorette.”

According to a previous report from The Blast, the network made the call after a shocking video of her appearing to physically assault her ex, Mortensen, was shared online.

“This is called physical abuse. This is all you do,” Mortensen said in the video. “It’s the only thing you know how to do is hurt me. You think this is OK? It’s not OK. Holy sh-t.”

Former “Bachelor” star-turned “Real Housewives” newbie Ashley Iaconetti spoke on the news, stating that Paul wasn’t “mentally” ready for the show. “That wasn’t an appropriate role for her to fill,” she said.

Amid this, Hulu paused production on season 5 of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” citing a desire to provide the cast with as much support as possible during a challenging time.

Producers picked the cameras back up weeks later, once a judge decided Paul wouldn’t face criminal charges in her alleged domestic violence case against Mortensen.

However, a source close to the show said that while Paul has been asked to return to the series, it’s unclear whether she will do so.

According to TMZ, one of the show’s producers, Jeff Jenkins, said he has hopes that the outspoken TV personality will return to the group when the time is right.

Paul’s appearance isn’t the only thing changing on “SLOMW,” according to The Blast. Recently, Whitney Leavitt announced her departure from the series.

The news broke last week during one of Leavitt’s final performances in the Broadway musical “Chicago.”

In a new social media video, she cleared up some misconceptions about her departure, confirming that she will finish the rest of season 5 before officially saying her goodbyes.

“We have been through so much together, even more than what you’ve seen. We’ve had really big highs, really big lows and no matter what happens with our relationships like that is something that will always be a part of our life, will always be a part of my life and I wouldn’t change a thing,” she said.

Paul isn’t the only one sharing vulnerable truths about her well-being. “Jersey Shore” OG Ronnie Ortiz-Magro also joined the conversation, per The Blast, admitting that he was dealing with “functional depression.”

“And most days it’s like being trapped in your own life,” he wrote online, “forced to keep moving even when every part of you wants to stop.”

Ortiz-Magro sparked concern among social media users when a clip of him appearing to doze off during a press interview went viral.

Before speaking, his co-star, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, shared a statement, admitting that he was saddened by the clip.

“… my heart is heavy seeing what Ron, a grown adult, chose to present during press,” he said. “This situation is still developing, and while I do not know the full extent of what he may be going through, I do know it is separate from my path.”
