The 43-year-old British actress revealed that her daughter Joanie, whom she shares with fiancé Marc Humphreys, recently broke her arm after slipping in the hallway before a physical education class at school.
Cassidy said she had a “nervous breakdown” when her daughter had surgery just weeks after having surgery on the same arm. She said: “Same arm, torn to pieces. General anesthesia, same operation.”
“I’m speechless. It’s very traumatic,” Cassidy added while describing her situation after finding out about Joanie’s arm.
She continued: “He wasn’t in a good place. Just his little body, and the medication and the trauma of it all.”
She shared that all of her daughter’s blood tests were “absolutely perfect,” however, she was tested for “some type of deficiency” that could make her more susceptible to bone injuries.
