Celebrity Injuries Through the Years: Reese Witherspoon, Teddi Mellencamp and More

Down but not out. Reese Witherspoon, Teddi Mellencamp and more celebrities have bounced back from minor injuries over the years. The Legally Blonde actress ended up with a gash on her forehead in September 2011 after she was struck by a car while on a run in Los Angeles. "The driver seemed to have not seen her because of a large tree at the intersection,” an eyewitness exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “[Reese] was lucky, because it could have been much more serious." The Hello Sunshine founder “suffered minor injuries," according to the police report, and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Witherspoon was later released from the hospital and went home to recover, while the 84-year-old driver was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Nearly a decade later, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Mellencamp shared photos from her own injury. [jwplayer 6aJoJBzR-zhNYySv2] "I gave 2020 the boot — and 2021 returned the favor!” the former Bravo personality joked in January 2021 via social media alongside a photo of her on crutches. Mellencamp twisted her ankle while playing pickleball with her family over the holidays. She made light of the situation, telling her followers, "The silver lining: it’s called a 'dancer's fracture' so I'm basically a ballerina now. Pickle Ball: 1. Teddi: 0." Mariska Hargitay, for her part, suffered two separate injuries in 2021. She announced in May of that year that she discovered after getting an MRI that she had a broken knee, a hairline fracture in her ankle and a torn ligament. “Great news is I don’t need surgery🙏🏻 💃🏻 #YouShouldSeeTheOtherGuy😜,” she playfully captioned an Instagram snap after leaving the doctors. “Thanks for all the love folks! Just so you know this did NoT happen at work!” Two months later, the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit star broke her ankle while attending the Black Widow screening in New York City. Hargitay showed off her progress via Instagram in July 2021, saying she was “healing like a boss” while wearing a funny “It hurt, thank you for asking” T-shirt.

While performing at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis in September 2022, the “Rockstar” artist took a tumble after walking down a ramp and stepping into a hole meant to lower his guitar.

After a few minutes on the ground, Malone exited the stage with assistance from medics, assuring fans he only needed “three or four minutes” to take care of himself.

“I want to thank you for your patience, and I’m sorry there was a big-ass hole in the stage,” he explained after he returned. “I want to say thank you to everybody for hanging in there, and I want to say thank you everybody, I got the best f–king fans in the world. No matter what we f–king do, I’m going to keep trying to kick ass and keep going and make this f–king tour awesome.”

One day later, the "Sunflower" artist took to social media to further thank fans for “putting up with my dumb ass” and assuring them he would be continuing on the tour.

Adam Sandler

The Saturday Night Live alum appeared on Good Morning America in June 2022 with a black eye, which he later revealed came about in the least cool way. "I was in bed, in the middle of the night and, you know how they tuck in your sheets at the bottom, some people? Somebody tucked in the sheets too much and I had my phone in the middle of the bed,” he explained on the show. “I kicked my feet up to untuck it, the phone went flying, hit me in the head."

Sandler confessed that after refusing to “acknowledge” he was hurt things got worse. "I felt blood. I said, 'There's something going on but I gotta sleep.' Kept sleeping and woke up and then [this happened]," he recalled, joking, "There is nothing cool about this thing."

During one of those days, the actress said she made cabbage salad and while chopping the vegetable, “I chopped the top of my finger [off]." Gadot noted that her husband, Yaron Varsano, panicked and “threw it into the garbage” so she ended up losing part of her finger, because “there was nothing to sew on.”

The Hills alum revealed in March 2021 that she has lingering symptoms after suffering a traumatic brain injury two years ago.

"2 years ago in March I suffered a traumatic brain injury I didn’t tell you guys about,” she captioned an Instagram video that showed her working out. "I was at a restaurant in lower Manhattan (which shall remain nameless bc accidents happen) and while sitting in a banquet had one of the swinging kitchen doors fall off its hinges and on to my head. I was in the hospital and suffered a moderate to severe concussion for months."

"I took weeks off work and the road to recovery was long," Bosworth continued. "I remember visiting a friend a few weeks later and feeling totally lost on 3rd avenue and 21st street, not knowing which direction to walk in. I still struggle to recall words from time to time and get my thoughts out coherently 2 years later."

The former reality TV star added that she also battled mononucleosis at the same time and spent "months and months" in bed while still continuing to work full-time and admitted it took a year before she "could even consider exercising with regularity."

"This post is dedicated to my health and your health — precious and sometimes taken for granted," she concluded. "If you have it, take advantage of it."

The model revealed her badly swollen bottom lip in February 2021 in what appeared to be an allergic reaction. "You're all just going to think that I got lip fillers, but I didn't get lip fillers between last night and now," she said in a series of clips on her Instagram Stories. "I, like, bit an orange to try to open it and I think there must have been a pesticide or something on it." She then flicked her lip with her finger, saying, "Look how bouncy it is." Teigen posted some additional videos and pics that showed her protruding pout in profile writing, "Nose is swollen too lol" and adding, "I feel like it's getting bigger."

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared a photo of herself on crutches in January 2021 and revealed she'd injured herself while playing pickleball with her family.

Starting Monday because apparently foot fractures are all the rage and there’s not a boot in all of LA!" she wrote on January 1 after twisting her ankle. "The silver lining: it’s called a 'dancer's fracture' so I'm basically a ballerina now. Pickle Ball: 1. Teddi: 0." Mellencamp later shared a video message to her husband, Edwin Arroyave, via her Instagram Stories, asking him to carry her upstairs because he wasn't responding to her text messages.

(right knee was lonely?) so I thought I'd fracture my ankle!  Later tonight I'm gonna climb inside a raw chicken and see if I can't check out what salmonella's like! 2020 is the gift that keeps on giving."

So, I was running in my heel, which was a bad decision because apparently, I turned a corner and possibly did something to my ACL. So fun! So, 2020, just the gift that keeps on giving. It’s a really good year.”

It was silly and I’m frustrated and sad … but I’m determined to be positive and heal as quickly as possible.” 

Baldwin continued, “It’s hard because I can’t carry my babies — amongst so many other things. Reminder: if you are on a country road: don’t speed and please slow down around runners, bikers, children and go around. It’s worth the extra few seconds it takes you 🤍. Thank you to John … the kind man who stopped and helped me up from the road and waited with me until Alec came — forever grateful 💫 .”
