Marvel actor Xóchitl Gómez shared a video on TikTok of the ankle sprain she suffered during a rehearsal for 'Dancing with the Stars,' and it didn't look pleasant.

Dancing with the Stars frontrunner Xóchitl Gómez suffered a sprained ankle during rehearsals for tonight's show, and the Marvel actor took to TikTok to share the footage.

Paying homage to Gwen Stefani for her upcoming performance set to the song "Hollaback Girl," the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star captioned her video:


"This shiiii is BANANAS! 🙈😭🤪 im good tho! A lil sprain but WE WORKIN!"

In the TikTok, Gómez performed a sort of one-handed cartwheel and landed awkwardly on her ankle before crumpling to the ground. Her dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy immediately rushed to her side.

You can watch the wince-worthy video below

While the actor did perform in children's musicals from ages 5-12, Gómez credits her dancing skills mostly to TikTok!

She told Parade that during the long pandemic months, she taught herself dances on TikTok.

“I did the ensemble group numbers for the musicals I was in. Honestly, I wasn’t a standout. They usually put me in the back!"
"Then I joined TikTok when COVID kicked in and that’s when I started teaching myself trending dances by watching them on repeat. Learning TikTok dances put me in a happy place while we were locked down and I’m so grateful for it.”

We're so glad she did! And we're so glad she's mending nicely!

Bezos, discussing a man who has attacked voting rights multiple times, previously suggested he might try to stay in office indefinitely, and continued to make erratic (and ironic) statements about presidential candidates needing cognitive exams, told anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin that Trump is much more mellow and calmer than he was during the first Trump administration.

In one instance, the name Michael D. Gonzales was announced while two women received their diplomas.

Mandy Moore Finally Spoke Out About That 'Toxic Mom Group' Drama—And She Didn't Hold Back

People might hope that when they make a new friend, they'll be friends for life. But the truth is, most friends will only be there for a reason or a season, like going to school or working together.

For former High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale, that season was new motherhood, a time when she was eager to meet women who understood the questions she had about babies and raising them, but also preferably women who understood what it was like trying to juggle being a successful businesswoman with being a mom, too.

JD Vance Just Tried To Give His Historical Hot Take On Pope Leo's Name—And He Missed The Point Entirely

Vice President JD Vance made a point that seemed pretty obvious to everyone except him when he, mentioning Pope Leo XIV, gave his take on the historical context around the tenure of Pope Leo XIII, who led the Catholic Church from 1878 until 1903.

Speaking at a White House briefing focused on the possible impact of the pope’s upcoming encyclical on artificial intelligence, Vance highlighted the symbolism behind Robert Francis Prevost, the first U.S.-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church, choosing the name Leo XIV.
