'Trading Places' host rushed to ICU and intubated after 'Barbie' premiere

"Trading Places" star Ty Pennington suffered a terrifying health scare that resulted in him being intubated in the intensive care unit.

The hospitalization occurred not long after the TV host attended the red carpet premiere of "Barbie" in Los Angeles.

On Instagram, Ty said he went "from the red carpet to the ICU," which is why his social media has been quiet, something of an anomaly for the normally-active designer.

"This last week has been interesting! I'm okay now, still recovering," he told his 250,000 followers.

"Sunday I hit the red carpet for @barbiethemovie , monday I flew to Colorado to start filming in Breckinridge and Tuesday morning I woke up at 4am and could barely breathe," he wrote. "Turns out, that sore throat Ive had for the last month was actually an abscess which had grown so large it was closing off my airway. Next thing I know, I was intubated and flown to the ICU in Denver."

Ty had surgery in the middle of this past week and was released from the ICU on Thursday, July 13.

In his post, the author highlighted the highs and the lows of the week, which showed him on the "Barbie" red carpet in one image. Other images showed him intubated and in a hospital bed. Quite the dichotomy!

His situation is a "great reminder to LISTEN to your body when it's telling you something," he wrote, adding that he's been on "heavy sedatives."

The former "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" host thanked the hospital staffs at St. Anthony's in Lakewood, Colorado, and Summit Health in Frisco, Texas.

Fans flooded his social media with well wishes, and several other spoke of having similar experiences. 

"So glad you're ok! My boss had this and it took a terrible turn. Sore throat turned into abscess. Then turned into sepsis. She was in the hospital for 5-6 months," one person said. Another added, "So grateful you caught it in time. Our brother passed away 6/6/23 from this very thing. Speedy recovery!"

Ty posted both comments on his Instagram Story. He wrote, "Why this can be so dangerous." 

Ty's "Battle on the Beach" costar Taniya Nayak expressed her support, as well. "We love you. So happy you are ok! Missed you in Breck but we are so happy you got the care you needed just in time," she penned in his comments section. "We all were (and still are) thinking of you and sending the most positive vibes! Speedy recovery brother."

Oscar winner ordered to pay spouse who filed for divorce $130K a month in child support

Kevin Costner and his estranged wife are meeting in the middle. 

A judge ruled that the "Yellowstone" actor will give his ex, Christine Baumgartner, nearly $130,000 a month in child support — a number much higher than he initially offered, and a number significantly lower than she requested.

The judge's ruling is tentative and another hearing is on the horizon, but TMZ notes that a decision like this rarely changes. 

According to court files, Kevin and Christine will equally split their three children's health care expenses, extracurricular activities and private school tuition. The Oscar winner has also been ordered to give Christine $200,000 for attorney's fees and another $100,000 in forensic costs.

Christine, Kevin's wife of 18 years, initially requested $248,000 per month in child support, but the "Dances With Wolves" actor said he can't "afford" to fork over that kind of dough. After calling the financial request "astounding," Kevin added, "I will earn substantially less in 2023 than I did in 2022. This is because I am no longer under contract for Yellowstone, the principal source of my income last year." He claimed that his ex "understood" that this upcoming year would be "a difficult year financially" because the "Yellowstone" checks are no longer flooding in.

After Kevin offered to pay $52,000 a month in child support, Christine called the amount "completely inappropriate" and equated it to crumbs — she said there was just no way she could find a home suitable for herself and the kids with that kind of financial backing. The kids, she explained, are accustomed to a lifestyle that simply can't be provided on just $52,000 a month.

The former couple's divorce has gotten acrimonious, as Kevin had to go to court to get Christine to leave their shared $145 million family home, something she allegedly refused to do despite a clause in their prenuptial agreement requiring her to vacate within 30 days of the divorce filing, which occurred on May 1. Christine's lawyers argued that she would leave the home at the end of August as long as Kevin made child support payments.

On July 5, a judge ruled that Christine must leave by the end of July.
