"Welp.. I gained a lot of weight and it went a lot of places lol face, arms, tummy and most effectively… datassss," Monét wrote alongside the photo.

"I usually am so critical and frustrated by it because PCOS has me really messed up, but optimistically at least now there's two moons on the stage," she quipped, adding a shrug and laughing-crying emojis.

Monét is not the first female celebrity who has opened up about their struggles with PCOS, with stars such as Keke Palmer, Francia Raisa, Nikki Bella, Daisy Ridley, and Lea Michele sharing their stories.

The condition is caused by a hormone imbalance and can result in symptoms like acne, excess body hair, weight gain. and issues with fertility. While there is no cure for PCOS, it can be treated and managed with medication and lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.

"Damn Coachella 🏜️ I loved you and you loved me right back," she captioned her post, which included a carousel of photos from the festival. "Thank you so much!!!🥂 we had the time of our lives."
