This psoriasis flare up is different for LeAnn Rimes. She explained to Glamour, "When you're hiding your physical body, there's so much that rolls over into your emotional and spiritual mental health. You feel like you're holding yourself back — like you've been caged in." She added, "Maybe it's the fact that this year has really put things into perspective, but I now feel like I'm at a point in my life where I just want to break out of that cage."
Now, Rimes declares, "This is finally my time to be honest about what psoriasis is and what it looks like." Thus, she bared all for the world to see — flare ups included. About the experience of posing naked without disguising her psoriasis, she says, "My whole body — my mind, my spirit — needed this desperately."
Social media was quick to support Rimes' brave move, with one commenter noting, "for once a celebrity bearing all should be applauded. This must be a terrible disease to have live with [sic]." Another applauded Rimes' photos by saying, "This is so courageous and shows how strong a woman she is."
