“Vampire Diaries” star Nina Dobrev talks about her dirt bike accident and her recovery

Nina Dobrev, known for her role in “The Vampire Diaries,” recently revealed details about the dirt bike accident that led to her knee surgery. On a June 12 episode of “The Talk,” the 35-year-old actress revealed that she left the house for the first time in over two months since the incident.

“I had knee surgery and was given a huge brace. I can’t walk properly on my own yet… I had a broken knee and ACL and meniscus surgery,” she explained. Dobrev then described the accident, saying she was riding the dirt bike for the first time when she lost control, resulting in a serious knee injury.

Dobrev first announced her recovery from the accident on Instagram in May with a post captioned “How it started vs. how it continues.” Now, she’s using her platform to share her experiences and speak out against dirt biking, humorously saying, “I learned my lesson: never get on a dirt bike.”
