Overview
- The 56-year-old television presenter said she fell in her apartment several weeks ago and suffered a broken leg, according to an interview with Bunte that was republished by multiple outlets on October 14, 2026.
- Lierhaus reports the fracture is now well healed, she is undergoing rehabilitation measures and she no longer needs crutches.
- She told Bunte she intends to resume on-camera work for RTL at the end of October if her recovery continues to progress as planned.
- Journalists and Lierhaus herself link the accident to her long-term health vulnerabilities from a 2009 brain aneurysm operation that left lasting balance problems and required extensive rehabilitation.
- The account comes directly from Lierhaus in Bunte and was corroborated across German media, making her rehabilitation progress and the planned late-October return the next facts to watch.
