"Empire" Actress Taraji P. Henson Hospitalized For Exhaustion

Taraji P. Henson’s television persona is one of a strong personality and a hard worker.

Known as Cookie on the FOX show Empire, Henson recently posted on Instagram that she was being hospitalized for exhaustion Friday (June 19).

“God has a way of saying ‘you’re doing too much!’ ‘SAT DOWN SOMEWHERE’.” She said via the social media post yesterday. “I’m listening Father!!! I am taking several seats!!! Don’t worry y’all I’m a tough cookie! HA! I will be just fine. My momma and best friends are flying in to check on me. I AM FINE!!!!!!! Just need to SAT ALL THE WAY DOWN for a bit. #listentoyourbody.” Taraji’s team followed up with ABC by reiterating that she’s “going to be fine.”

Empire is still slated to premiere its second season on September 23, as scheduled.
