DWTS Pro Dances Through Pain
10 Nov
Summary
- Pro dancer Jenna Johnson fractured her nose during rehearsals.
- She is competing on Grammy Night despite the injury.
- This follows a previous controversy over a lift during samba.
Jenna Johnson, a professional dancer on Dancing With the Stars, is powering through a significant injury. She revealed on Tuesday, November 10, that she fractured her nose during camera blocking rehearsals for the upcoming Grammy Night. Johnson, 32, showed visible swelling on the right side of her face, indicating the severity of the impact.
Despite the broken nose, Johnson remains committed to performing her salsa routine with partner Harry Shum Jr. this evening. This determination showcases her resilience, especially after she and Shum recently earned their second consecutive perfect score of 40 out of 40 during Disney Night on November 2. Their flawless jazz routine secured them immunity for Tuesday's dance-off.
Earlier in the season, Johnson faced controversy after a lift during her samba performance on Super Bowl Night. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba's critique led to a heated discussion, with Johnson's husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, involved in a public dispute defending his wife. This incident resulted in Chmerkovskiy being benched for Dedication Night, and he later issued a public apology for his remarks.
