American Idol 2020 winner Just Sam announced she was hospitalized earlier this week over an unknown illness.
Just Sam, whose legal name is Samantha Diaz, posted to her Instagram story this week, alluding to a medical problem she was experiencing while in the hospital. Diaz won ABC's third season of the reality competition show, the show's overall 18th, and the first-ever remote finale, and she now lives in New York City at the age of 23.
"100 lbs is crazy," Diaz captioned a photo of hospital scales. "I seriously need help."

"I'm grateful for the prayers everyone. I'm doing much better now," Diaz would later post in a message for more than 148,000 Instagram followers. "Thank you to everyone that checked on me. I am ALIVE and out of the hospital."
However, on Thursday, she was back in the hospital, per her Instagram story.
"I need a better hospital bruh. I hate it here [to be honest]," she wrote in a post.
Diaz posted videos of herself on Instagram and Tiktok performing for tips in the city's subway Friday, but they seemed to come from earlier in the week, as she is seen in the same outfit in a video she posted Tuesday. It is unclear if she remains in the hospital, as she hasn't posted an update on her condition since, instead sharing a scripture from the Bible.
