How did Selena Gomez fracture her hand?

The new updates related to her injury come shortly after the two-time Grammy Award nominee disclosed on the Ellen K Morning Show that she suffered the terrible injury when after "tripping" over a long summer dress.



 

"I wish I had, like, a really cool story that I saved someone’s life or something," Gomez told People.

"I was in a long dress — it was a summer dress — and I was walking from my car to my house and tripped," she said.

After listening to Gomez's story, Ellen, from a mother's point of view, told the singer that it's good that Gomez "didn't break" her teeth.

"Yes, that's what the doctor said," the 'Wizards of Waverly Place' star added. "I guess there is a silver lining but this is not fun. This is not fun," she continued.
