Brandon Aubrey apologizes to Cowboys cheerleader after smashing her head with wayward kick
Cowboys cheerleader Michelle Siemienowski is looking back on her “whirlwind” experience after being hit in the head by a ball during Sunday’s game against the Commanders.
The incident occurred in the first half at AT&T Stadium when Aubrey’s kick veered toward the sideline and struck Siemienowski, despite a cameraman’s attempt to intervene. She quickly recovered, later seen smiling and sitting on the Fox broadcast.

In an Instagram Story posted Monday, Siemienowski reassured fans she’s doing fine. “This past 24 hours has been a whirlwind!” she wrote. “I got a ton of messages and I wanted to thank you all for checking in and for your kind words! I am all okay, so no need to worry!”
Aubrey, 29, extended his apologies in a heartfelt note written on a game-day guide. Siemienowski expressed gratitude for the gesture, revealing, “He was so kind to write me a note anyways!” She added, “No hard feelings,” calling the note a “souvenir for my last game of my rookie season.”
Aubrey’s record-breaking performance, including four successful field goals, also earned praise from Siemienowski, who congratulated him on his historic season.
