She continued detailing the injury she suffered from the occurrence.

"While I was in that process of trying to squeeze and not fall... my knee kind of tweaked, kind of slipped out of place, came back in," she claimed. "Very unfortunate, but there's no way that I would miss out on week two!"

As to what she's been doing to recover from the unexpected event, Jenna said, "They made me take a day off to just rest. So, icing the knee, but I feel fine. I did some therapy last night."
