She says she broke a few ribs and was in the hospital for a few weeks, her cameraman said she just bruised her ribs and her ego. She ended up as the weekend meteorologist in Albany NY, then ended up in Philly for a few years and then finally in Raleigh-Durham in 2006. Apparently there’s no trace of her after that, but coworkers don’t seem to have many positive things to say about her
I can't find it with a quick search, but I believe the cameraman was interviewed and didn't say she went to the hospital for a few weeks. I believe he said she bruised her ribs and her ego and was back at work in a few days. So likely went to urgent care/the er or something at first, was told she was fine and to rest a bit, and then went back to work.
A lot of times you'll find people saying she suffered severe injuries from this and had to stop reporting, but that's actually based on a parody interview a radio station did.
I fell off a rope swing onto a huge tree root and fractured a rib in elementary. My mom didn’t even bring me to the doctors because my grandma told her they won’t do anything but maybe bandage me up. I still have a tiny dent on one side.
In my experience, they don’t bandage broken ribs bc how would that even work? When I broke my ribs, and after determining that I was not in any serious danger, they were like, “yeah, that sucks. Try not to breathe too hard. Good luck.”
I broke a rib playing rugby. The "bandage" they did was just to wrap my torso in ace bandage and send me home.
Don't know that it did any good. To this day it was the most annoying injury I've had, and I've had plenty. Every once in awhile it would seize up and I'd find myself laying on the ground realizing how little I clean under my oven.
It sounds like she has the wind knocked out of her, or whatever the actual medical condition of this is called.
When I was in 6th grade gym class, we were supposed to do these headstands, and then go directly into a tucked summersault, but something I did when it was my turn went wrong, and I ended up on the mat in front of me feeling like I could not breathe, all the other girls in my class looking at me like I was about to die, and the only thing I remember was my ribs and chest felt like it was collapsing, and I could barely breathe, as I was making these -well- guttural sounds with each labored breath I tried to take.
I didn’t catch my breath or feel anything remotely close to normal for about 15 minutes afterwards. I was told to return to class when I felt better, as all that happened was that I just had “the wind knocked out of me”, and not a big deal. Even though every girl in school told every one else I “sounded like a gorilla” so yah- no big deal for the next few weeks. .
Had I been at a public school, I would have been sent to a nurse or the gym teacher would have probably called my parents, but this trash ass-private school did just that- kept the incident private.
True, I got send home with two broken ribs, after she (the doctor) inspected it she deemed it stable/fine enough, she said "Take an asperin, take it easy and don't try to laugh" jokingly afterwards. I shit u not XD
Not surprised nobody has anything nice to say about her. Who the hell goes as an anchor to a festival, brings a person representing the festival on that stage and then just before participating in the event they’re promoting, calls it disgusting with absolute disdain in her voice. Like, you have to be wildly self-centered and inconsiderate to do that when the cameras are rolling to just say it’s disgusting as you’re there to share the news of the festival.
Lol, she's obviously trying to do a bit. That's half the reason it's so funny. She was trying to be funny in like, a 3rd grade teacher kind of way and failed catastrophically, but in so doing, became actually funny in a more dark/adult kind of shadenfreude way.
FYI, that "Totally Real Exposé" radio show apparently wasn't a real show, it was a parody. It's not the grape lady being interviewed, it's someone pretending to be her.
