Watch: Kelly Price Says She’s ‘COVID Free,’ Denies ‘Missing’ Drama Was ‘For Attention’

Just three weeks ago, Kelly Price saw her name dominate headlines as reports surfaced she was listed on a web site for missing persons.

Despite the hoopla around the topic intensifying in the days after the story broke due to family members chiming in to claim they had not seen her since she was discharged from the hospital in July after a battle with COVID-19, Price – near the weekend’s close – finally quelled the rumors of her ‘missing’ status via a TMZ interview.

Her delayed response led many to suggest the incident was a publicity stunt – a suggestion Kelly adamantly denied in a recent health update she posted to Instagram.

Hop in to hear what she says about this matter and more.

As seen in the video above, Price took to Instagram Sunday (October 17) to offer an update on her health.  While she was proud to announce she was free of COVID-19, she did inform viewers that doesn’t mean she’s ready to sing again as she suffered double pneumonia as a result of the infection – leaving her lungs ‘damaged and severely diminished.’

Reflecting on her recovery, Kelly also says she continues to have respiratory therapy and also sees a cardiologist.

Later in the video, the 9x GRAMMY nominee addressed critics who claimed the entire ‘missing episode’ was a publicity move.

‘Anyone who has ever been near-death understands,’ she said. ‘No one would do this for attention.’
