Gabby Douglas Updates Fans After Allergic Reaction Scare

Gabrielle Douglas has updated fans about her allergic reaction she suffered just before the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards over the weekend.

Her teammates — Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian, Laurie Hernandez, and Simone Biles — revealed why she hadn’t been with them at the show that night.

“Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that I’m doing ok!” Gabby shared on Instagram on Tuesday (August 30). “I had a complication from a prior injury that caused a cyst to grow on a bone in my mouth. Got it removed and feeling much better now!”

She added, “Thanks for all your concerns and prayers ???? and HUGE thank you to the doctors that have taken care of me these last four days! #ontheroadtorecovery #butIstillgottagetthesewisdomteethout.”
