Amber Riley misses awards show after fall
Glee star Amber Riley was forced to miss an awards show in Los Angeles on Friday (01Feb13) after hurting herself in a fall.
The actress/singer was due to make an appearance at the 2013 National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Image Awards, where she was nominated for the Actress in a Comedy Series prize.
However, she fell down a flight of stairs on Wednesday (30Jan13)
and didn't recover in time to attend the show.
She wrote in post on Twitter.com, "I am so clumsy, took an
unexpected trip down my stairs smh (shaking my head) very sore
little banged up but I'm okay..." before later adding, "My little
fall was a little worse than I thought, was sad to miss the NAACP
Awards... but I am so honored to have been nominated!"
Riley went on to congratulate the eventual winner, Cassi Davis, who
took the trophy for her role in Tyler Perry's House of Payne. She
added, "Congrats (sic) Cassi Davis!... She's amazing."
