Kristin Chenoweth Leaves ‘The Good Wife’ After Injury

Singer-actress Kristin Chenoweth has confirmed she will not be returning to the set of "The Good Wife" and is instead focusing on recovering from an injury she sustained last month on the set when lighting equipment fell on her.

In a statement issued Monday (Aug. 13), Kristin said, "It is with deep regret to inform everyone that due to my injuries, I am unable to return to 'The Good Wife' at this time. Getting better slowly and thank you everyone for your concern."

Kristin, who appears in the show's fourth-season premiere on Sept. 30, was expected to appear in several episodes as a political reporter, according to the Los Angeles Times." A frequent poster to her popular Twitter page, Kristin was absent from the site from July 11, the day the incident occurred, until July 24, when she tweeted: "To all my fans: thank you for support and love! Doin better everyday. More to come when I'm able!"

In addition to her TV, film and stage work, of course, Kristin launched her country-music career with Some Lessons Learned, the album she released in the summer of 2011. Prior to "The Good Wife," she had a starring role in the now-cancelled ABC series, "GCB" was cancelled by ABC. She assured a fan via Twitter: "I love 'The Good Wife' and will be back when i can."

The Boot sends Kristin our very best wishes for her continuing recovery!
