"In the afternoon, the vomiting (and you know what) started. I thought it was food poisoning. I had fever and chills and just tried to sleep it off before the show,” Peta explained. However, by the time the show was set to begin, Peta said she "could hardly walk and I couldn't feel my arms or legs."
