In the 9-1-1: Nashville series premiere that aired on October 9, Isabelle attended a bachelorette party and got a dance from stripper-turned-firefighter Blue (played by Hunter McVey).
Back in 2022, Isabelle opened up about health issues after being diagnosed with a progressive neuromuscular disease that “weakens leg muscles over time” when she was 13.
“I’ve come to terms that if I want to live my life to the fullest I need to use a wheelchair at times,” Isabelle wrote on Instagram at the time. “This has been a difficult journey for me because having to accept help and surrender to the progression of this condition has been extremely hard.”
“While I was trying to come to terms with this, I really did find that I lost myself in certain ways. I hated that it was not only breaking me down physically, but I was allowing it to also break down my spirit,” she also wrote. “I would have never expected something like this to happen to me, as most of us wouldn’t. I don’t know why these were the cards I was dealt in life, but I can’t change it so I’m choosing to embrace it and not let it define me.”
Our thoughts are with Isabelle Tate‘s loved ones during this difficult time. RIP.
