Fox News anchor Sean Hannity addresses viewers’ concerns over appearance
Hannity said prednisone for a pinched nerve caused laryngitis and puffiness, adding that the side effects are normal and he is recovering well.
- On Wednesday, Fox News host Sean Hannity addressed widespread "social media commentary" regarding his recent raspy voice and facial puffiness, explaining he suffered a "painful pinched nerve" in his neck that required medication.
- Hannity reported his doctor prescribed prednisone to reduce inflammation, which led to laryngitis and facial swelling; the Cleveland Clinic notes this synthetic corticosteroid commonly causes water retention and a round face colloquially known as "moon face."
- Even The Daily Show guest host Josh Johnson chimed in, joking, "This is not the point, but what is going on with Hannity's face?" after the broadcaster discussed his symptoms during a Monday episode of The Sean Hannity Show.
- The 64-year-old broadcaster dismissed the speculation, stating, "Sorry to disappoint them, but a pinched nerve, a raspy voice, and a puffy face aren't taking me out anytime soon," and noted appreciation for well wishes.
- Despite viral clips circulating online, Hannity noted that his medical condition has generated more attention than "30 years of ratings success" while he remains on air and continues to train.
