EXCLUSIVE: Y’all, sit DOWN because the tea being spilled by comedian Matt Rogers is scalding hot—and absolutely terrifying!
We’re talking about his Bravo boyfriend, Below Deck‘s Fraser Olender, who nearly checked out after a severe vaping incident. Can you BELIEVE this?!
Sources say Rogers finally broke the silence on his podcast, *Las Culturistas*, detailing the HORRIFIC moment Fraser collapsed.
“He had a heart attack in front of me,” Rogers confessed to Bowen Yang and Lena Dunham—the raw honesty is UNREAL.
Get this: Fraser, who was known as a former “vape artist” (yes, you read that right!), suddenly felt crushing chest pain and couldn’t breathe.
Matt initially thought it was just stress or anxiety—oh, the irony!
But WAIT—it gets WORSE. After tests came back, the truth was a NIGHTMARE: the vape oil was literally P O I S O N in his lungs.
SHOCKING details emerged revealing that the cartridge oil can leak, causing what doctors called the “equivalent of a heart attack.”
Fraser spent a FULL WEEK hospitalized after battling what he publicly dubbed “Vaping-Associated Lung Injury.”
Chile, the fear Matt must have felt witnessing his partner go through that—it’s the stuff of nightmares!
We saw the reactions flood in after the news dropped, with fans expressing pure dread, like this comment we spotted: “My daughter suffered seizures from vaping.”
But the gossip doesn’t stop at the hospital stay, listen up!
Now that Fraser is recovering, the REAL drama is brewing behind the scenes—what happens to a relationship after you stare death in the face?
We’re told immediately following the medical crisis, the couple had to take a SERIOUS step back to process the trauma.
Insiders whispered to us that the intensity of the scare—seeing Fraser nearly die—forced them to re-evaluate EVERYTHING.
“They needed space, massive space, to deal with the PTSD from that week,” one close acquaintance spilled.
It wasn’t a breakup, per se, but a necessary pause after such a MESSY, life-altering event!
Think about it: one minute you’re posing for viral photos at BravoCon, the next you’re signing discharge papers for lung failure!
Matt Rogers, known for his comedic relief, suddenly had to become the primary caregiver—that changes the dynamic FOREVER.
We reached out to reps for both stars, but naturally, crickets… as usual when the heat is ON!
The couple, who made their official debut looking picture-perfect, now face the reality that their love story has a very dark, very public chapter involving toxic fumes.
Is this scare the ultimate test for Matt and Fraser, or will the trauma drive them apart?
Only time—and maybe another podcast episode—will tell!
For now, we are sending positive vibes to Fraser for a full recovery from that vape-induced horror show.
Stay tuned to this space, because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Bravo adjacent drama NEVER sleeps!
