According to Page Six, the 30-year-old suffered an injury when an explosion that featured glass shattering unfortunately led to some glass making contact with Jennifer’s eye.
A source explained: “An explosion was set up for a stunt in which glass shatters.”
However, the insider told the outlet that while some glass hit her eye, Jennifer is expected to be “okay.”
The Boston Globe also dove into details of the stunt, which featured a trash can being launched into a window, sending fragments flying in every direction – one of which crossed paths with Jennifer.

It has been a rough couple of months for Jennifer, as back in November her family farm in Kentucky was charred by a “horrible fire.”

One of the barns on the property completely burned down as the family said at the time they were “mourning the loss of years of hard work and memories” that occurred behind those walls.
