In May 2022, Erin Napier took to social media to share that she had been hospitalized for a medical procedure. She shared a selfie of her and Rodney and wrote on her Instagram feed, “Staying tonight in the hospital after a throat procedure, and feeling so cared for by an old friend… I’ve never been so happy to see him as I was tonight, expecting a bowl of chicken noodle soup but getting a needed visit with an old friend too.” She shared how she knew one of the hospital staff members because he had been a friend of her family for years.

Napier did not directly address her throat issues in the post and she wouldn’t address it until January 2023. As fans of the popular show know, the Laurel, Mississippi, native often provides behind-the-scenes commentary when episodes of “Home Town” air. The mother of two took to Twitter to explain the way she looked during several episodes. Napier tweeted, “I was hospitalized with an abscessed tonsil during this block, so this episode and several others are about to have me with a weird voice and super puffy faced from IV steroids.” Poor Napier was filming the show while undergoing a medical crisis. No rest for the wickedly good designer!
