Overview
- Monica Lierhaus said she fell in her apartment a few weeks ago and broke her leg, an account she gave in a phone interview with Bunte.
- She reports that the fracture is well healed and that she is undergoing rehabilitation exercises to regain full mobility.
- Lierhaus no longer uses crutches and said she will return to work for RTL at the end of October provided her recovery keeps improving.
- Contemporary coverage from Promipool, GALA.de and Promiflash all base their reports on Lierhaus’s Bunte interview rather than independent medical records.
- Lierhaus’s history of a serious 2009 aneurysm and long prior rehab frames public interest in her health and means observers will watch her recovery for any effects on her ability to resume regular broadcasting duties.
