Deon Cole’s Wild Week: Hospital Beds, Fire Drills, and Flower Power

Buy Me A Coffee

Let’s talk about Deon Cole’s week—because, honestly, it sounds like the plot of a disaster movie co-written by Murphy’s Law and irony itself. The “black-ish” star turned 53 this week, but instead of blowing out birthday candles, he was probably blowing into a spirometer in a hospital bed. And no, this wasn’t some spa day gone wrong—Deon was hooked up to machines, living his best (read: worst) patient life on his big day.

Deon, being the trooper he is, hopped on Instagram to update fans with a selfie from his hospital bed. His caption? A heartfelt, “Thank u all for your birthday well wishes. I sure could use them.” Translation: This is not the birthday party I signed up for. Someone call Beyoncé and see if she’s free to reschedule this day, please.

But wait—it gets worse. The very next day, Deon was discharged from the hospital. Cue the victory music, right? Nope. Plot twist: California wildfires decided to RSVP late to the chaos. Freshly freed from medical care, Deon had to sprint home, pack what he could, and hightail it out of his place because flames were literally giving his house the side-eye.

“This day is devastating!!!!” he wrote, channeling all of our 2023 vibes. “Left the hospital earlier, sick af, went home, then had to pack what I could to evacuate.” Oh, but it doesn’t stop there. Deon then dropped a detail so heartbreaking it could bring a rock to tears: “I got the flowers my mom gave me before she passed tho.” If this doesn’t make you feel feelings, check your pulse.

The actor also shared receipts of his ordeal: a photo of his car loaded up like he’s starring in an apocalyptic road trip movie and a video featuring the wildfires in the distance. The flames were like, Hey Deon, congrats on surviving the hospital. Let’s turn up the heat!

As of now, Deon hasn’t shared what landed him in the hospital in the first place. But honestly, after this week, who could blame him for keeping a little mystery alive? Whatever it was, one thing’s for sure: Deon Cole is living proof that when life gives you lemons, sometimes it also gives you fire, hospital bills, and an evacuation notice.

Here’s hoping his next birthday involves cake, candles, and absolutely zero natural disasters. Stay safe, Deon—we’re rooting for you!
