Jenifer Lewis reveals she was 'still on morphine' while performing on The Masked Singer after near-fatal 10-foot fall in the Serengeti


Jennifer Lewis revealed she was 'still on morphine' while performing on The Masked Singer after suffering a near-fatal 10-foot fall in the Serengeti.

During an exclusive interview on Good Morning America, Jenifer told Robin Roberts that as she laid on the ground 'in shock', she heard a lion roar and started imagining being eaten alive and envisaged 'pieces' of her body 'being flown back to the States.' While looking back on her time competing on Fox's singing competition, in which celebrities face off against each other in elaborate disguises, the Black-ish star, 67, revealed she was only five months into her recovery from her terrifying tumble, which took place in November 2022 Jenifer, who played the role of Ruby Johnson in popular TV sitcom Black-ish from 2014 until 2022, described the past year as 'the hardest' and revealed to Robin that she kept her fall - and recovery - a secret because: 'I didn't want y'all to know I had fallen until I could show you how I got back up.'
