Genea Sky, the Texas stripper who broke her jaw after suffering a two-story fall from a pole while performing, reportedly has no interest in ever dancing again. The performer's incident went viral earlier this week after a video circulated that shows Genea falling from a 15-foot pole in a Texas strip club.
Despite the nasty fall, Genea kept on dancing for the crowd, though she would later discover that the accident resulted in a fractured jaw, sprained ankle, and broken teeth. Since the establishment where Genea was performing has denied responsibility and refused to compensate her for her injury, a GoFundMe was set up to cover the costs of her medical expenses.
Undergoing such a traumatic experience coupled with bearing the full responsibility of paying for the medical care needed has understandably lead Genea to be skeptical about returning to the stage. TMZ reports that she has been telling close friends that her stripping days are behind her, as the whole experience has "scared her to death."
However, she is reportedly grateful to all the fellow strippers that have reached out with injury stories of their own to make her feel less alone, and has become inspired to change the industry in some way in order to improve working conditions for exotic dancers. TMZ also notes that the viral incident has resulted in an outpour of offers to perform at strip clubs and appear in music videos, though she has not expressed any interest in taking them. Genea has previously appeared in multiple music videos, including G-Eazy's "No Limit" remix.
We're wishing Genea a safe and speedy recovery!
21 Savage Responds To Viral Video Of Stripper Falling From The Roof To His Song
She broke her jaw after the fall before getting up and continuing her twerk routine.
This is both incredibly terrifying and stunningly impressive. A video that has been circulating heavily online shows a strip club dancer performing her routine on a two-story-high pole, entertaining the crowd before she loses her handling of the metal and tumbles to the hard floor, falling face-first. Despite suffering some extremely painful injuries, the stripper continued dancing as if nothing had happened, twerking on the ground before getting up and finishing the song. Kudos to her, for real. The clip has been posted by several media outlets, including on DJ Akademiks’ Instagram page, and the artist to which she was dancing to has officially spoken out.
Commenting on Ak’s repost, Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage reacted to hearing his track in the background of the viral video, joking in his inbox. “She got right listening to that immortal,” said Sav, laughing that his October single was the song that made her lose her grip.
The dancer in the video has since offered an update on her health after the scary fall, noting that she has received a bunch of supportive messages from worried fans who saw the video. “I pretty much broke my jaw,” said the woman. “I have to have surgery on it tomorrow. I broke some teeth and I got a sprained ankle, and I got some stitches [on my chin.] Aside from that, I’m good. I have no broken limbs. I walked away myself. I got up right after it happened.”
After watching the video below, you’ll realize just how lucky she is that her injuries are not more severe.
