I literally heard, ‘We’re losing the light.’ I heard, ‘Action.’ And I woke up at Bellevue Hospital. It hit me in the face and it threw me into a curb. Seven-inch skull fracture, hairline fracture, and teeth and ribs,” she said. “My hair extensions, you know, made the hairline fracture go together. My doctor said, ‘What are these metal things?’ And I said, ‘They’re hair extensions.’ And he said, ‘They saved your life.'” The Holidate actress added that she regrets not taking legal action against the network. “I didn’t do it out of fear and anxiety, so don’t ever let fear rule your life. I have long-standing injuries from that. I wished I had listened to my dad, who said, ‘You’re gonna wanna do this.’ And we’re not the suing family, but when you’re practically killed…,” she said.
