Bling Empire: New York star Lynn Ban underwent an emergency craniotomy on Christmas Eve after a ski accident “that would change my life.”
The Singaporean jewelry designer revealed on Instagram Dec. 30 that she was on vacation in Aspen with family when she “caught a tip and face planted” at the top of the mountain. She was wearing a helmet still sought out the ski patrol to get checked for a possible concussion.
“I had a bit of a headache but thought after lunch it would be fine and I could ski again,” Ban wrote. “The paramedic suggested I go to the hospital for a cat scan. This saved my life.”
After taking a taxi to the hospital with her husband Jett Kain, “within 30 minutes they told us I had a brain bleed and needed to be airlifted to the trauma hospital. Last thing I remember was being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy with Jett by my side.”
Ban’s IG account includes graphic photos of her stitched skull after surgery.
Ban is the owner of Lynn Ban Jewelry. In January of 2023, she debuted as part of the cast of Netflix’s Bling Empire: New York, a spinoff of Bling Empire Bling Empire. Described as the real-life Crazy Rich Asians, Bling Empire followed a group of rich Asians Americans in Beverly Hills as they spent their days and nights at fabulous parties and expensive shopping sprees, while also running multi-billion dollar businesses and traveling the world. The spinoff offered the same perspective but from the Big Apple.
In April, Deadline revealed that Netflix was not moving forward with a fourth season of Bling Empire or a second season of Bling Empire: New York.
