In July 2012, Kristin Chenoweth was filming in Brooklyn, New York when a piece of lighting got dislodged by a strong breeze and fell on the actor, per TMZ. A witness saw the “Wicked” star fall to the ground and was “knocked out cold.” Chenoweth was taken to the hospital and was said to be treated for “minor injuries.” She tweeted to fans a month later, “Today not best ‘pain’ day. Remaining positive. (I think).”

It was later revealed that her “minor injuries” were pretty severe. As reported by E! News, in an appearance on “Live! With Kelly and Michael,” Chenoweth stated, “Basically a big lighting thing fell and hit me. [It] knocked me out, knocked my face and slammed me down to the ground. The back of my head got hit on the curb. I had a skull fracture, rib issue and neck issue and a hip issue. I’m issue-ridden, but I’m getting better.” Although she said she was “grateful” that her injuries weren’t worse, Chenoweth opened up a decade later about regretting not holding CBS accountable for the pain she had endured.
