Kristin Chenoweth injured on set of “Good Wife”

We all love Kristin Chenoweth, one of the sweetest and most gay friendly stars in all of showbiz.

So it’s scary to hear that she was injured yesterday in New York while filming a scene of the CBS drama The Good Wife on which she has a recurring role as a political reporter.

Details remain pretty sketchy as is any kind of definitive statement on Kristin’s condition.

I posted about this yesterday on Gay Star News: Chenoweth was rushed to the hospital from the show’s Brooklyn set. Witnesses tell TMZ.com that she was knocked to the ground by a piece of lighting equipment and hit her head on the concrete.

‘I thought she was dead at first,’ a witness tells the website.

Despite the dramatic descriptions of what happened, a New York Fire Department representative tells TMZ that the actress is at the hospital being treated for ‘minor injuries.’

CBS Studios has released this statement: “While filming a scene for ‘The Good Wife’ in Brooklyn, a gust of wind blew a lighting silk out of place striking actress Kristin Chenoweth,” the studio said. (Lighting silk is cloth used to soften or deflect artificial light or sunlight during shooting). “All of us at the studio and the show are thinking about Kristin and wishing her a quick recovery.”

Hopefully we will get an update on her condition later today.

UPDATE: Kristin has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home. Her publicist said the actress “thanks everyone for their prayers and good wishes.”
