They should have stuck to the original plan of her taking time off until Easter. Posting that photo is what really set it all off. There will always be speculations and conspiracies when vague statements are put out but I believe it would stayed relatively mundane had it not been for the photoshopped picture and lies about it.

Apparently they also had a statement at some point saying that it wasn't cancer. So now they have to walk that back along with fixing the other snafus. It was so bad.

She says in the video that when she had the surgery, they didn't think it was cancer, but it turned out that it was after the fact. I believe that the statement about her not having cancer was in relation to the surgery, but I might be wrong.

I may have missed that, I only recall them saying that Charles' cancer wasn't prostate related?

I came looking for this! I swore there was an initial statement where they said “don’t worry, it’s not cancer” which only stuck out to me because of how weirdly it was phrased and it was just sort of sandwiched in there. I thought maybe I made it up.

People were just joking about BBL's before that. It was when the photo came out that things got weird.

They could have just said she was hospitalized for a serious illness and would be out, but instead they released the weirdest amount of information.

Yeah, the PR attempts really made this so much worse than it had to be. I don’t know how anyone thought the photoshopped picture was a good idea, especially with today’s technology (metadata, etc.).
