The cast of Vanderpump Rules is sending well wishes to their close friend as he prepares for brain surgery.

Jesse Montana, who’s appeared on the Bravo show multiple times as a guest star, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, according to a GoFundMe created on his behalf.

“On Monday November 27th at 6am, Jesse’s body undertook three seizures, two of which were thankfully in the comfort of his own home before the ambulance arrived,” the post stated. “Once arriving to Cedars Sinai Hospital in LA, they further examined Jesse and sadly found a tumor in his brain. With no prior symptoms or illnesses this came as a complete shock.”

“Over the next few days Jesse was held in the ICU unit where he was being cared for by a team of amazing neurologists, doctors and nurses. Unfortunately, they were unable to operate on Jesse as soon as we had hoped as his kidneys at this time were also not functioning.”
