Dancing With the Stars: Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough Suffered Injuries
Alfonso Ribeiro Suffered a Torn Meniscus
Alfonso Ribeiro, best known for his role as Carlton Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, suffered a torn meniscus while rehearsing for Dancing with the Stars.
The injury occurred during a rehearsal for the show's upcoming season. Ribeiro was reportedly performing a dance move when he felt a sharp pain in his knee.
Ribeiro was taken to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a torn meniscus. The injury is expected to sideline Ribeiro for several weeks.
Julianne Hough Suffered a Foot Injury
Julianne Hough, a two-time Dancing with the Stars champion, also suffered an injury while rehearsing for the show.
Hough reportedly injured her foot while performing a dance move. The injury is expected to sideline Hough for several weeks.
Both Ribeiro and Hough are expected to make a full recovery from their injuries.
The Walt Disney Company's Response
The Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, the network that airs Dancing with the Stars, has not yet commented on the injuries.
However, the company is likely to be concerned about the injuries, as they could affect the show's ratings.
Dancing with the Stars is one of ABC's most popular shows. The show has been on the air for 30 seasons, and it has consistently been one of the network's top-rated shows.
The injuries to Ribeiro and Hough could lead to a decline in ratings, as viewers may be less interested in watching the show if their favorite dancers are not able to compete.
