Quite the fumble. Kansas City Chiefs heiress Ava Hunt underwent emergency surgery after falling down a mountain during a hike. Her mother, Tavia Shackles, announced the scary news in the predawn hours of Tuesday via her Instagram Story, which Hunt reposted.
“This little thang fell down the mountain today on a hike🥾 & went to the ER for surgery on a deep wound 😢,” Shackles wrote atop a photo of the pair. “It’s been a looong day.” Shackles made sure to “praise God” that her 18-year-old daughter was “in recovery and already smiling” before asking her followers, “Please pray for a quick & complete recovery! 🙏🏻.
” Upon reposting the sentiment, Hunt added, “🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼.” An hour later, Hunt — whose father is Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt — shared a picture of her left knee all bandaged up as the 2024 Paris Olympics played on the TV in front of her. “Update: surgery went very smoothly and I’m back at home watching my favorite @simonebiles!!” Ava wrote atop the image, which was clearly snapped from the couch.
Though she said she was “feeling great,” she admitted that she “might still be a little drugged up 😆.” Ava concluded her message by thanking her followers for their “sweet messages and prayers!! 🤍.” The blond beauty graduated from Covenant School — a private Christian high school in Dallas — in June, at which time she announced that she had committed to the Southern Methodist University cheer team.
