Yolanda Foster Husband: David Foster Divorce On 'RHOBH' Season Six [VIDEO]
Yolanda Foster's Lyme disease kept her from making her marriage to David a priority, but during her speech at a Lyme disease gala at the end of last year, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star apologized only to her children.
After tending to her health for nearly four years, the entirety of her marriage to David, the reality star and mother of three delivered a heartfelt speech after being honored for raising awareness for the illness.
"I do NOT deserve this award... This award is for Bella and Anwar," Yolanda Foster explained in her speech, according to her Bravo TV blog entry last week. "This is a token of my promise that I will not allow you to live a life of pain and suffering. I will prevail and walk to the end of the earth to find a cure so that you can live the healthy life you deserve. No child in this world should suffer the way that you do, and I commend you both on your brave and persistant effort to get well and suck up the disappointment of the endless failing protocols you have tried."
Foster went on to thank her children for keeping her positive throughout her battle.
"I thank you for your extraordinary selflessness during this journey. Your unwaivering love and compassion has kept me alive and fighting through the darkest days of my life. I am so sorry for all the important things I've missed in your life these past four years," she said.
"I used to be a pretty cool, smart, multi-tasking kickass mom, but all three of my children really got short changed with the dumb blond in the white robe that mostly lives her life in bed," Foster said, again not mentioning David. "I did turn into a professional social media stalker though, liking every Twitter and Instagram post you have ever made, just to let you know that I was watching you from afar and right by your side in spirit at all times."
Foster then took aim at those who have back down from her life after her crippling diagnosis.
"Getting chronic Lyme disease is probably the fastest way to figure out WHAT and WHO is real in your life…so thank you to my small little village that is right here with me tonight for doing what is right and teaching me the true meaning of family and friendship," she added.
