I don’t think anyone is surprised like this.
It sounded like a lie from the beginning.
According to Pete Perkins in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, McFadden said the injury actually came from slipping on wet cement next to a swimming pool.
“I just slipped down and landed on my elbow,” McFadden said. “My phone was in my hand, and so people kind of put that story out.”
Not sure why you would need to lie about something like that.
