(Undated) — Ashley Judd is hiking in the mountains again, less than six months after shattering her right leg. The 53-year-old actress posted an update Sunday on Instagram, including a video showing her walking up a hill in a Swiss national park. She wrote, “Five months and three weeks after the accident in the Congolese rainforest, I walked again!” In February, Judd tripped over a fallen tree in a rainforest in the Republic of Congo and shattered her leg in four places. She was carried out during what she called a “grueling 55-hour odyssey” and flown to a hospital in South Africa where she underwent eight hours of surgery.

Ewing told the Washington Post, “We’re just hearing now, because of the Black Lives Matter movement, how down for the cause Dolly has always been – even when others in the music industry weren’t.”
