The actress broke the news via Instagram on Wednesday (19May21), revealing she is being treated for a broken leg, torn ligament, and hairline fracture in her ankle.

"That feeling when you go to the doctor, get an MRI and find out that you have a broken knee, a hairline fracture in your ankle, and a torn ligament," she wrote. "It's always a good idea to go to the doctor. Immediately."
