Jenifer Lewis Opens Up About Her Near-Fatal Fall From a Balcony in Africa
Black-ish actress Jenifer Lewis is opening up about a terrifying near-death experience after she fell from a balcony in Africa two years ago.
In an ABC interview with Robin Roberts that was previewed on Tuesday, Lewis said that after Black-ish had wrapped in 2022, she planned to retire and travel the world. One of her destinations was the Serengeti region of Africa, where she was staying in a hotel room with a balcony overlooking an infinity pool.
“When the sun sets in the Serengeti, there are no street lights. It is pitch black,” she said. One night, she “saw the infinity pool out on my deck. So I went out. I was just taking in the fact that I was back in the Serengeti once again and I’m walking and all of a sudden, I had fallen 10 feet.”
