00:00She's the blonde bombshell who made us laugh for 12 seasons on The Big Bang Theory.
00:05But behind the scenes and the red carpet glamour,
00:08Kaley Cuoco has been fighting a battle that most fans completely missed.
00:12Lately, the rumors have been swirling. Is she okay? What's really going on with Penny?
00:17Well, the truth is more relatable and more painful than you think.
00:22While many celebrities hide their health scares,
00:25Kaley has started opening up about a condition that nearly sidelined her career.
00:29It's not a Hollywood scandal. It's a physical reality.
00:33After the birth of her daughter, Matilda,
00:35Kaley revealed she's been suffering from severe carpal tunnel syndrome.
00:39But with a twist. She calls it mommy tendonitis.
00:42It got so bad, she actually lost feeling in her hands
00:46and couldn't even hold her baby without intense pain.
00:50Imagine being an action star in The Flight Attendant and not being able to grip a prop.
00:56But that's not all. Kaley has also been incredibly vocal about her mental health.
01:01She's admitted that during her high-profile divorce from Carl Cook,
01:04she suffered from a super dark depression that caused her to have a massive physical reaction — a
01:10rash that covered her entire body. She told Variety she was literally dying inside,
01:16and had to ask for help on set just to get through the day.
01:19From physical nerve damage to the heavy weight of depression —
01:24blah, blah, blah.
