‘I’M NOT OK’ – Lara Spencer sparks major concern among GMA fans as she reveals Painful Health truth!
Good Morning America’s Lara Spencer has revealed she was off the airwaves this week due to two painful surgeries on both of her feet.
The television host, 55, took to Instagram detailing her operations and shared a photo of her bandaged feet.
She posted a photo with her surgeon thanking him for his help and declaring she is on the mend.
‘If I look a little groggy it’s thanks to this guy who just gave me a new pair of boots,’ Spencer said.
The mother-of-two explained why she needed each operation, revealing she suffered an agonizing injury in college.
‘My right foot was easy – just had plate removed from surgery last year. The left is a bigger deal from a very old college diving injury. I was doing a reverse one-and-a-half and hit the board, shattering toes and joints,’ Spencer said.
‘Back then they said there was nothing you could do except tape it, let it heal, and live with the pain. Today there are much better options, thanks to surgeons like Dr. Marty O’Malley at HSS.’
Colleagues and fans flooded her comments with well wishes and messages of a speedy recovery.

Lara Spencer, 55, revealed she was off the airwaves this week after undergoing two painful surgeries
‘Jesus!!! Who does both feet at the same time???? My girl, that’s who! So tough! Sending u speedy love to fast recovery! We’ve got dancing to do,’ said GMA’s former medical chief, Dr. Jennifer Ashton.
‘Sweetie!! Feel better soon,’ said chief business, economics, and technology correspondent Rebecca Jarvis.
ABC News 20/20 co-anchor Deborah Roberts said, ‘Wow! Well no doubt you’ll be twirling in no time!’
Spencer attended Pennsylvania State University on an athletic scholarship for springboard and platform diving, and was a nationally ranked competitive diver.
She was named an All American Athlete in 1991, her senior year, and graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism.
The TV host shared in a 2023 post that O’Malley previously operated on her foot due to a torn plantar plate and ligament that she said had been ‘slowly getting worse and worse.’
Last week, the Good Morning America crew unveiled its 2024 holiday card – but fans were left outraged after they noticed a major oversight.
The card featured many of the morning show’s anchors, including Spencer, Ginger Zee, Michael Strahan, Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.

Last week, the Good Morning America crew unveiled its 2024 holiday card
The box was decorated with twinkling lights and various holiday-themed décor, and the GMA cast members stood in front of snowy trees.
But some social media users were quick to point out that two of the network’s top stars were missing from the holiday card – weekend host Gio Benitez and weatherman Sam Champion.
People magazine shared the new holiday card to Instagram on Wednesday, and immediately, people took to the comment section to question why they weren’t in it.
‘You are missing Sam Champion and Gio Benitez,’ one person commented.
Another said, ‘Sam is missing,’ with a crying emoji.
