In an interview, Blanchard said that she has been on leave for over a year from her job at the IBM in Quebec, Canada. Doctors diagnosed her with major depression.

From that time, Blanchard has been on leave and was receiving full sick-leavebenefits from Manulife, an insurance giant based in Canada.

However, Blanchard was surprised to learn that her benefits have been cut off by her insurance agent after calling Manulife. Her agent said that she was fit to work citing photos of her in Facebook.

One of the photos shown by her agent was at her birthday party at a Chippendales bar show and a few holiday photos of her “having a good time”.

According to her, the Manulife agent claimed that it can be considered as evidence that she is now in a good condition and is no longer depressed.

Blanchard said that her lawyers are now looking on all possible steps to take regarding the case, adding that she will fight to get her benefits reinstated immediately.

Also, the doctors who diagnosed her advised that she should try to have fun every time she had the chance. This includes night outs, getaways, and family get-togethers to help her forget all her problems.

Sought for comment, Manulife decline to further anything about the issue.

But the insurance giant assured Blanchard that the company will not deny or terminate any benefit claims just because of information such as the photos published in her Facebook account.
