16 Feb
Summary
- Guy Fieri suffered a severe quad tear from an on-set fall.
- He required emergency surgery and used a wheelchair for recovery.
- Fieri calls the injury the worst experience of the past 20 years.
Food Network personality Guy Fieri has announced his full recovery three months after a severe on-set accident resulted in a quad tear. The incident occurred in November when Fieri slipped down stairs while filming, leading to a serious injury requiring emergency surgery to repair the muscle. For several weeks, he relied on a wheelchair and crutches to aid his recovery.
Fieri, who hosts shows like 'Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives,' described the injury as the most challenging experience of the past two decades. He noted the difficulty of being sidelined from his usual active lifestyle, including hiking and CrossFit. Despite the frustration, Fieri expressed deep gratitude for his family's unwavering support throughout his recovery period, calling their Thanksgiving and Christmas meals special.
Reflecting on the injury, Fieri elaborated on the severity, explaining that the tear occurred in the central, thickest part of his quad muscle. He confirmed he is now fully healed and ready to return to his energetic persona, stating emphatically, "I'm back, baby!" His series, 'Tournament of Champions VII,' is set to premiere on March 1.
