“Dancing With the Stars” pro Jenna Johnson revealed she broke her nose before tonight’s live show.
“Last night I definitely broke my nose on camera blocking,” Johnson said in an Instagram video on Monday.
The 32-year-old moved the camera closer to her face to show her followers that her nose is “a bit swollen.”
“No black eyes today, which is great, but if my nose looks four times bigger, that’s why,” she added.
Johnson captioned his clip: “Salsa: 1. Jenna’s nose: 0. Happy Show Day 😊.”
Her husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, commented: “1 in 1 ❤️ still a bad guy. »
Later that day, Johnson shared a video to her Instagram Stories in which she smiled and gave a thumbs up while sitting in the hair and makeup chair on the show’s set.
Johnson and his partner, Harry Shum Jr., dance salsa to “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars on “Grammy Night.”
The duo is safe from the dance rounds and will automatically receive bonus points since they have the highest cumulative point of the season so far.
Johnson and Shum Jr., 44, earned perfect scores from judges on “Disney Night” and “Horror Movie Night” over the past two weeks.
On “Super Bowl Night” on October 13, judge Carrie Ann Inaba harshly criticized Johnson for including a samba in his and Shum Jr.’s samba with “Yeah!” by Usher.
Johnson told co-host Julianne Hough that she “totally understood” Inaba’s comments after the tense moment.
But a source claimed Johnson cried backstage and “was comforted” by Chmerkovskiy, “who was upset” by the incident.
Chmerkovskiy, 40, defended his wife on social media by referencing Will Smith’s infamous slap at the 2022 Oscars, which got him suspended from the show for a week.
“Val’s social media post was inappropriate and does not reflect the values or standards expected of anyone connected to the show,” BBC Studios, which produces the show, said in a statement. “As a result, he will not be appearing on next week’s show.”
Chmerkovskiy apologized to Inaba and said he “deeply” regretted the controversial social media post.
Inaba, for her part, said in her own statement that she and Johnson “hug each other” and “worked through the moment.”
Chmerkovskiy and Inaba later reconciled during a “cathartic” conversation in front of the audience during “Horror Movie Night” on October 27.
