Elaine Hendrix has been acting since the ‘90s — but it wasn’t always her main career path. When the actress was injured in a 1992 car accident, her dance career came to a halt and she was forced to change course.
“I believe that everything happens for a reason and it pushed me in this direction that completely worked out, thankfully,” Hendrix said with a laugh during a July 2016 interview with the Huffington Post, reflecting on why she chose to jump into acting headfirst.
It’s been more than three decades since Hendrix was hit by a car riding her bike, but her accident still haunts her. In fact, during season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, Hendrix revealed that the aftermath of the crash makes it harder to compete.
While pushing past her physical limits on the ABC competition series, Hendrix was hospitalized for an unrelated injury in October, causing fans to worry. However, Hendrix was given the green light to continue on her DWTS journey beginning with the Tuesday, November 4, episode.

Inside Elaine’s 1992 Car Accident
“I had just come to Los Angeles to begin my professional career and very soon after moving here I was riding my bike and got hit by a car,” Hendrix told the Huffington Post in July 2016, noting that one moment “changed everything for me.”
During her September DWTS opening package, Hendrix revealed she is “really lucky” that she “walked away” from the accident but didn’t expand further.
How Did Her Career Change After the Accident?
The Parent Trap star told the Huffington Post in July 2016 that she began her career as a “classically trained dancer in modern and contemporary jazz.” Following her accident, Hendrix said, “Dance became something that was very painful to do, so it just pushed me more in the direction of acting.”
Hendrix recalled booking a few guest starring roles before landing her first series. “That’s when I stopped dancing professionally but I never stopped dancing altogether,” she told the outlet. “It’s just that whenever I dance I need to be prepared for the fact that I will be really sore and can’t quite do the things I used to do, but that’s OK.”
How Has Elaine’s Accident Affected Her ‘DWTS’ Run?
Hendrix revealed during an October episode of Dancing With the Stars that following her ‘90s car accident, a titanium joint was placed in her right foot. She said during Wicked Night that the joint “renders half my foot unusable.”
“Every week, my body shifts into a new pain spot, but I just don’t want to let it stop me,” the actress explained during the show package. “I know my determination is going to win it, just getting there is quite a journey.”

Why Was Elaine Hospitalized on ‘DWTS’ Season 34?
During rehearsals for Halloween Week in October, Hendrix was rushed to the hospital after experiencing pain in her ribs. The contestant later revealed via her Instagram that she injured her ribs during her “Defying Gravity” performance one week prior and they “just seized up” during practice.
“I couldn’t move. They brought me to the hospital,” Hendrix said in the Tuesday, October 28, video. “The doctor has said that with a day or two of rest, I should be able to continue and that’s exactly what I want to do. I want to dance, I want to keep doing this.”
Hendrix’s dance partner, Alan Bersten, explained during the October 28 episode that while they were working on their Argentine tango, “Elaine kind of froze and said she can’t move and she can’t breathe, and something happened with her rib.”
He noted she was in “so much pain” and therefore he had no idea if they would dance that evening. The pair did not perform and were instead judged on their practice routine.
Despite missing Halloween Night, Hendrix and Bersten scored 8s across the board from the judges on October 28. With fans’ votes, they were saved from elimination. Hendrix’s doctors, meanwhile, cleared her to continue on in the competition.
“You guys voted, we are going to be safe. We got another dance to [perform],” Bersten confirmed during a TikTok Live following the episode. “We’re going to take it easy but we will be back for the show. We will take this week easy.”
Sarah Juree was looking for an extra way to rake in cash for her household when she launched her OnlyFans account — while also serving as a teacher at a local school.
“I was just a struggling single mom on a teacher salary, so it wasn’t this deviant thing,” Juree, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her new book, Diary of an OnlyFans Model.
“There was a woman in town, and she had started a page, and she had made, like, $10,000 in a month,” Juree continued. “So in my mind, I was like, ‘Well, what if I try this on summer break and see how it goes?’ I had never been on the platform. Really didn’t know much, anything about it. I was like, ‘Well, if I could have two good months like that, I could pay my credit card debt off.’”
Juree went on to create her account, sharing an NSFW photo — and her life was turned upside down within weeks. She claimed that a user “dispersed” her image “all over” social media and to her employer, resulting in her firing from her job as a teacher.
“It just happened really, really fast,” she recalled. “That was such a whirlwind. There was a lot of grief for me because I loved being a teacher. That was my identity, that was my career that I had put my life into. I was a teacher for 20 years. It was a whirlwind, and I think that was why I needed to kind of take a step back from OnlyFans. I took the last two years off to really just go and heal and process and sort, like, ‘What the heck happened?’”
Juree explained that she had a “lot of complex PTSD” — known as post-traumatic stress disorder — and struggled with suicidal ideation following the incident.

“Where I am in Indiana, it’s like, I’m the scarlet letter of the town,” she said. “But I take it very personally, because I feel like I also get to be the permission slip for women in town. The women who want to explore their sexuality, who see me and I’m not backing down from this and I’m not just running away in shame.”
Juree eventually turned to alternative ways of healing, including ketamine therapy — and words began “pouring out” of her.
“I think it shows people your story is not over,” she said of her journey to becoming an author. “You get to be the author of your story, literally. You get to show the world who you are, and at any given point in time, you can give this world a plot twist. So now it’s, like, ‘Teacher turned OnlyFans model turned author.’”
Through it all, Juree has had her loved ones by her side — including her 13-year-old twins.
“My family has been very supportive, thank goodness. The trickier part is my kids because they’re twins and they’re teens now. They’re 13. It is something that I have always kept separate — what I do if I was making content and stuff, then Mom mode,” Juree explained of balancing both. “But I want my book to make my kids proud. Where I can turn something that was so wild and crazy into something good for us.”
Diary of an OnlyFans Model is out now.

Megan, 35, reposted an anonymous quote to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, October 29, that read, “Everything happens at the perfect time. Trust the process and be patient.”
Megan got engaged to Jordan Keltner sight unseen during Love Is Blind season 9, which was filmed in Denver two years ago and premiered on Netflix last month. Megan, however, ultimately called off their engagement over major lifestyle differences.
“I’ve never dated somebody with a kid,” she said in the finale, referring to Jordan’s 5-year-old son, Luca, from a previous relationship. “All the men that I have dated up to this have had a fairly flexible schedule, and that’s how all my friends are.”
As a result, Megan questioned whether she was ready to be a parent.
“In the pods, I was really leaning into him being a single father [and] the excitement of it. I don’t think I thought through how challenging it is and how I would need to make a lot of concessions to how I currently live,” she tearfully said in a confessional. “Honestly, this has me questioning if I’m even cut out to be a mom.”
Megan continued, “I don’t know, maybe I am too caught up in my own life. All I wanted coming into this experiment was to find love and to find my partner.”

Megan will be asked about her parenthood comments and potential hopes for a baby during the upcoming tell-all reunion.
“Megan, do you feel like you’re not cut out to be a mother?” show cohost Nick Lacheyasked the wellness entrepreneur in a teaser for the Wednesday, October 29, special.
Megan began to answer Nick’s question, hinting, “Today, I actually have a little bit of a surprise.”
While the cameras cut before Megan could share her “surprise,” she has since been spotted with a mystery man and a newborn baby outside of her Denver home. (Megan has not addressed the now-viral photos. Us Weekly reached out for comment.)
“We wanted to be open, honest and transparent with each other. My son was supposed to be at the wedding,” Jordan told Variety earlier this month. “I never wanted him to go through something like that. We tried until the last possible second. She made the best decision for both of us and our families.”
He continued, “We had discussions about not wanting to annul our marriage. We didn’t want to get a divorce. We wanted this to be a forever thing. At the end of the day, she decided it wasn’t going to be a forever thing for her.”
The Love Is Blind season 9 reunion airs on Netflix Wednesday, October 29, at 9 p.m. ET.
It takes a lot to suffer a moment so embarrassing that the only way to atone is to shave your head live on social media.
That’s what Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown had to do after his hairline spray rubbed off on New York Knicks player OG Anunoby during a game on Friday, October 24. While Brown, 29, was having his head shaved in a video posted via Twitch on Tuesday, October 28, he even called LeBron James for advice.
“Code Red, my n****,” Brown said in a voicemail. “Code Red. They caught me slippin’. I need to know — Turkey or no Turkey — and I ain’t talking no cheese sandwich. This some real s***, bro.”
For those blessed with luscious locks and not weighed down by the stress of male-pattern baldness, Turkey is a popular go-to destination for hair transplants. Though it’s unknown if James, 40, actually traveled to Turkey himself, his own hairline has made an impressive comeback over the second half of his NBA career.
Brown even took the time to look up flights to Turkey, asking, “What time do they leave? Can I get back before the game?”
The Celtics’ next game is Wednesday, October 29, against the Cleveland Cavaliers, so a quick trip across the world for a cosmetic procedure seems unlikely.
“I blame Boston,” Brown added. “10 years of media, stress, championship. This is y’all fault.”
Brown has played for Boston since 2016 when the Celtics drafted him third overall. Over 10 years, he has made four All-Star teams and was the 2024 NBA Finals MVP as Boston captured its 18th championship.
The organization rewarded him in 2023 with a five-year extension worth up to $304 million.
James, for his part, has not publicly responded to Brown’s plea for help. The receding hairline of one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, however, has long been a running gag in the NBA. His friend and former teammate Dwyane Wade joked about it in a 2022 appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast.
“It was like when God made him, he was like ‘I’m going to give you all this. But I’m going to take one thing from you,’” said Wade, now 43. “‘I’m not going to give you no lining. But I’m going to give you everything else.”
James is in on the fun, too. Speaking to the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 2017 about his fandom of the other GOAT, Michael Jordan, he explained everything that inspired him about His Airness.
“I shot fadeaways before I should have, I wore a leg sleeve on my leg and folded it down so you saw the red part, I wore black-and-red shoes with white socks, I wore short shorts so you could see my undershorts underneath, I didn’t go bald like Mike, but I’m getting there,” he said. “Other than that, I did everything Mike did.”
Amid his own struggles with his hairline, James released a collection of skincare and haircare products in 2024, which includes a two-in-one shampoo and conditioner.
“I remember going into the first barbershop I ever been to,” James said on “The Shop,” which he hosts with Maverick Carter. “Going into the shop, it’s a certain aura. You don’t need to read a newspaper after leaving the barbershop [because] you’re getting everything from politics to sports. And then you add on the men influencers in there, you add on the s—t talking that’s going on in there. That’s where we would get a lot of products from when we were younger.”
