Sean Hannity hasn’t appeared to be at 100% in recent weeks. He addressed the situation on social media following questions.
What We Know: Hannity’s voice has grown weaker recently. Additionally, his face has appeared swollen. That led to questions about his health. He took to social media to explain the situation.
What They Said: “Thanks to everyone who has checked in. I’ve already addressed this several times on my radio show, but while training, I developed a painful pinched nerve in my neck. My doctor put me on prednisone to reduce the inflammation, and while it’s helping, it led to laryngitis and some puffiness, which is normal for this medication. I’m fine, recovering well, and still training, but apparently, a few weeks of prednisone has generated more social media commentary than 30 years of ratings success. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes—including from members of the left-wing media. Sorry to disappoint them, but a pinched nerve, a raspy voice, and a puffy face aren’t taking me out anytime soon.” -Sean Hannity
What Remains Unclear: When Hannity’s appearance might return to normal.
What It Means: Sean Hannity has almost always been a straight shooter. So to see him address the questions about the appearance isn’t unexpected. His sarcasm and wit are on display in the statement.
