Sarah Hyland’s kidneys eventually began to fail, causing her to suffer extreme exhaustion at work. “There are some episodes of ‘Modern Family’ where I do not remember filming because I was asleep,” she said on the “Quitters” podcast, which is co-hosted by her former TV mom Julie Bowen.
One episode that has been completely erased from Hyland memory aired during Season 4 in 2011. When she was filming it, Hyland knew that she would soon need a kidney transplant. “You have to be a certain level of sick in order to receive a transplant, so I was reaching that certain level of sick,” she explained. “I was not able to be awake for eight hours at a time.”
Hyland’s health issues caused physical changes that became a hot topic of discussion on social media. After losing a great deal of weight — in a 2018 post on her Instagram Story, she revealed that she weighed 75 pounds at one point (via ET) — Hyland denied speculation that she was struggling with an eating disorder. “I haven’t had the greatest year. Maybe one day I’ll talk about it but for now, I’d like my privacy. I will say that this year has brought a lot of changes and with that, physical changes,” she tweeted in 2017. She also revealed that she’d spent months resting and recuperating, and she eventually opened up about why her health had worsened.
