Gabby Douglas hospitalized, misses MTV Video Music Awards

“Final Five so sad I can’t be with you all to present tonight MTV thank you xoxo”.

But the 20-year-old posted on Instagram a photo of herself under a blanket in what looked like a NY hotel room, explaining why she could not take part in the gala at Madison Square Garden.

“The fifth member of our team, Gabby Douglas, is having medical issues and unfortunately couldn’t make it tonight”, Biles said at the awards show.

Gabby Douglas is working on getting back on her feet after falling ill and missing the 2016 Video Music Awards on Sunday night after being hospitalized.

The 20-year-old gold medalist was in a hospital bed unable to join her “Final Five” teammates at the VMAs one week after the Rio Games.

U.S. Olympic gymnasts Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian, Laurie Hernandez and Simone Biles ditched their glitter-adorned leotards for equally sparkly dresses at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards. According to her publicist Lesley Burbridge, she continues to have swelling and adverse reactions to medications. The fashion house is known for creating the most sought-after designs for prom goers, but Biles missed out on the opportunity to attend the popular event since she was homeschooled.
