Genea suffered a fractured jaw and broken teeth as a result of her fall and also required stitches.

She thanked all her supporters who have reached out to her since the incident and also said she would “continue to update everyone over the course of [her] recovery.”

Genea has said via social media that she’s not able to respond to everyone due to the volume of people who have reached out to her.

Eric Langan, the CEO of RCI Hospitality Holdings Inc., the company that owns XTC Cabaret, told TMZ Genea’s “not a full-time employee so she can’t get worker’s comp.”

TMZ also reported that Langan said Genea “should worry about her health first and money second.” KSAT reached out to RCI Hospitality Holdings Inc., to confirm the comments came from Langan.
