Kaley Cuoco is everyone's favorite actress, let's be real — who doesn't have a soft spot for this blonde bombshell? The 35-year-old is best known for her role as Penny on the hit CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory, and now, the actress is expanding her horizons and her Instagram comedy skills.
However, fans recently noticed a health trend on Kaley that caused concern in her latest video.
She has landed countless nominations for her starring role in The Flight Attendant, a hit show which she also produced.
After the SAG Awards on Sunday, Kaley posted a video of herself, all dolled up, climbing into bed to watch Schitt's Creek after losing her nomination to the incomparable Catherine O'Hara.
"Wow am I grateful to be a freakin actor. Now to continue binging my favorite show," she ended, with a winky face emoji.
In case you missed the trend, cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine in which suction is created on the skin with the application of heated cups. The supposed benefits of cupping is to relieve muscle tension and promote cell repair.
It's Hollywood — they practically invented quackery, ya know? Just look at Gwyneth Paltrow.
"You look stunning as always I’m cracking up because I can see the cupping," commented one fan.
"Cupping is life!" echoed another.
However, some people were quick to call Kaley out for using alternative medicine.
When a different fan asked why they bruised her back so badly, another follower replied: "It is from something called 'cupping.' Easy to look up, it is pseudoscience. There is no peer-reviewed evidence-based data published in reputable journals that "cupping" does anything scientifically therapeutic."
"Why do the suction cup things if they bruise you that bad?" asked another.
Fans may remember the video she posted back in the summer of 2019 as she was receiving her treatment after a particularly intense workout.
In the 2019 video, Kaley she asks the woman performing the therapy, Flory, to explain what she’s doing.
"I’m doing gua sha," Flory said. "Your fascia is intense and tight, and I need to remove it … your nerves and your ligaments get better."
"I mean, that is just ridiculous. Oh my goodness gracious. Oh my gosh,” the actress said in the video as Flory applied the cups.
