The Vampire Diaries alum Nina Dobrev opens up about dirt bike accident and recovery

TVD star Nina Dobrev opened up about her recent dirt bike accident and subsequent knee surgery.

Nina Dobrev, known for her role in 'The Vampire Diaries,' recently shared details about the dirt bike accident that led to her knee surgery. During a June 12th episode of 'The Talk,' the 35-year-old actress revealed it was her first time leaving the house in over two months since the incident.

"I had knee surgery; I got a giant brace. I can't really walk on my own yet...I had a fractured knee as well as ACL repair and meniscus," she explained. Dobrev then described the accident, stating she was dirt biking for the first time when she lost control, resulting in a severe knee injury.

Despite the setback, Dobrev remained positive, expressing her happiness to be out of the house and have an "excuse to get dolled up." She also shared how she's been coping with recovery, which includes cuddling her pets, watching shows like 'Fargo,' and enjoying "live entertainment" from boyfriend Shaun White.

Dobrev first announced her recovery from the accident on Instagram in May, with a post captioned "how it started vs how it's going." Now, she's using her platform to share her experience and advocate against dirt biking, humorously stating, "I learned a lesson, don't ever get on a dirt bike."
