"I'm just so proud of him that he understands that God has given it to us for a higher purpose and that is to help others and to be part of finding a cure that is affordable for everybody."
"I think he's an extraordinary young man," Yolanda continued.

"And I'm just so proud of him for speaking up about this very serious cause where he's gonna help hundreds and thousands of young kids that have mental symptoms that, ya know, they're not mentally ill, they have neurological Lyme disease."
"It's an infection of the brain. When I was on 'Housewives,' I mean, the girls said, you know, on national TV, they said I had Munchausen disease. You know, they said, 'Oh she's making this up, cause how can you look that good and have that many issues,'" she explained.
Every Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills fan will remember the now infamous scene of Yolanda's cast members accusing her of having True Munchausen Syndrome.
When asked if she's been reaching out to Justin, Yolanda said that she had been.

"I've been trying to help him, you know, and send him things that worked for me and I'm just praying for him and I know he's going to pull through," she explained.
"And, like I said, I'm just so happy he understands that God has given it to people like him and me and many others and we are supposed to speak up about it, because I've helped many celebrities that don't talk about it and I'm just glad that he does."
