Maria Menounos suffers rib injury during rehearsals of Dancing with the Stars 2012

TV personality and actress Maria Menounos this week will be seen moving bit gently on the show ‘Dancing With The Stars 2012’. The actress reportedly cracked two of her ribs during the rehearsals of the show.

But kudos to Maria, who despite being in pain has planned to continue performing along with her partner Derek Hough to the best of her ability. Menounos reportedly suffered an injury at the rehearsals when she accidentally came down with her torso on her partner’s knee.

Maria while explaining her accident said that his knee is very hard and her ribs are really soft. Despite having broken ribs, the Dancing With the Stars 2012 cast member and partner Derek hope that the injury will not camouflage their performance this week on the show.

Some of the close friends of the actress said that she has for the past few weeks been in pain during the rehearsals but is managing to stay strong and working through it and also refuses to give up.
