Heavy Julianne Hough cracked a joke over Nina Dobrev's hospitalization.
“Dancing with the Stars” co-host Julianne Hough had a bit of fun with an accident her bestie had, and fans took notice.
Hough’s good friend, “Vampire Diaries” veteran Nina Dobrev, ended up in the hospital after a dirt bike accident. Dobrev provided a selfie taken in the hospital and provided a couple of small updates after the accident.
The DWTS star was one of many who commented on Dobrev’s social media post about the situation. Hough’s note, however, drew far more attention than nearly anyone else’s.
Hough jokingly cheered on “my girl,” but added she wouldn’t make light of the situation if she didn’t know Dobrev was ultimately okay.
