Miss Jamaica continues healing journey amid horrible onstage fall

Gabrielle Henry, the Jamaican representative, is still on a narrow road to recovery several months after a traumatic experience.

During the 2025 Miss Universe pageant in Thailand, the incident happened as she  was walking for the preliminary evening gown round.

The 28-year-old contestant was taken to the hospital amid falling off the stage which subsequently fractured her leg and caused an intracranial haemorrhage. 

The ophthalmologist was admitted to intensive care for a few days as she had a potentially serious injury.

On Friday, February 13, Henry took to her Instagram to post an update on her recovery journey.

The carousel showed the star in bed at the hospital and another of her riding an exercise bike. 

She penned in the caption, "This season has redefined restoration and renewal for me."

She said that the incident changed everything because at the moment, she only hoped to reflect Jamaica at its best.

Through the trauma, Henry stated that the fall made her find the strength that she did not even know she had. 

"My greatest strength has been in choosing to rise, even while I am still on the journey."

She also credited the medical teams in Thailand and Jamaica at the time, including neurosurgeons, neurologists, nurses and physiotherapists, with  leading her towards recovery.

In conclusion, she noted that the event was not the end, but rather the start to forge a greater legacy, making impacts and having a significant mark.
