Anthony Anderson recently shared that he’s feeling great after having 140cc of fluid drained from his knee due to severe swelling that sent him to the ER. The incident occurred after he woke up with a swollen knee on August 3, 2025, leading to a diagnosis of arthritis and possibly gout, also known as the “King’s Disease.” Doctors at UCLA Santa Monica performed the procedure, and Anderson posted a graphic video on social media showing the yellow fluid being drained. Despite the initial diagnosis suggesting gout, which would require cutting back on red meat and alcohol, Anderson expressed skepticism, humorously insisting he needs his red meat and attributing the issue to arthritis and aging as he nears his 55th birthday on August 15, 2025. He was in good spirits when spotted at LAX on August 8, 2025, joking that he feels like he can “tap dance” and showing off his knee’s improved mobility. Fans and friends, including Cedric the Entertainer, have sent well-wishes, with many noting the immediate relief he experienced post-procedure.
