Sean Hannity has assured viewers he is recovering well, saying a neck injury and medication side effects caused his noticeably puffy appearance and raspy voice.
Fox News host Sean Hannity has put an end to speculation about his health after viewers questioned his noticeably puffy face and raspy voice during recent television appearances.
The 64-year-old broadcaster took to social media to reassure fans that he is recovering well, explaining that the changes were caused by medication prescribed for a painful pinched nerve in his neck.
According to Hannity, his doctor placed him on prednisone, a steroid commonly used to reduce inflammation. While the treatment has helped ease the injury, he said it also brought temporary side effects, including facial puffiness and laryngitis.
Hannity joked that a few weeks on the medication had generated more online discussion than decades of his broadcasting career. He thanked supporters for their concern and even acknowledged well wishes from critics, insisting the condition would not keep him off the air.
The television personality said he remains active, continues to train and expects to make a full recovery despite the discomfort.
His explanation follows days of intense speculation across social media, where clips of his broadcasts prompted questions about his appearance. By addressing the issue directly, Hannity sought to reassure viewers that there is no serious underlying health problem.
The report was first carried by Yahoo Entertainment, citing Hannity’s public comments and social media statement.
