Patricia “Tan Mom” Krentcil called Howard live on the Stern
Show Monday morning for the first time since being hospitalized due to
complications from pneumonia.
“This is the scariest thing I’ve ever been through,” she
described. “I was in a coma, literally, for two weeks. My body completely went
into a state of shock.”
Much has been written in the press about Tan Mom’s condition
after comments were made by her family, her music producer Adam Barta, and even
an anonymous source, so Howard wanted to know who really spoke for the Wack
Packer in the event of her incapacitation.
“I speak for myself,” she asserted.
After weeks of recovery Tan Mom reported she was feeling
much better and admitted the experience is even leading her to make a major life
change — she won’t be smoking cigarettes any longer.
Moreover, when Howard inquired about whether she saw any
signs of an afterlife during her health scare, Tan Mom revealed she did, in fact,
have a few memories from her time in a coma. “I saw a lot of shopping malls and
beaches … it was perfect.”
Though she has another few days in the hospital, Patricia’s
fans were happy to learn things are looking up for her. She has a new song called “Money Maka” and will be ready to debut the music video soon.
“I guess Tan Mom’s back one more time … that song really is
true,” Howard offered optimistically, referencing a line from her hit song “Free
2 Be Me.”
“I’m so grateful to be back,” Patricia replied.
