Earlier reports indicated that Lynn underwent emergency brain surgery following a Christmas Eve ski accident. After falling, she had initially sought a concussion check.

Lynn recounted the incident on December 2024 in a social media post, stating, "At the top of the mountain, I caught a tip and face-planted. Luckily, I always wear a helmet." Persisting headaches prompted her to visit the hospital for a scan.

Hospital images showed Lynn in a gown, with half of her head shaved and stitches adorning her scalp. Her shocking update revealed that she had suffered a brain bleed, which necessitated a craniotomy.

Alongside reflections about her health journey, she shared gratitude for her partner, Jett Kain, who was by her side. Lynn expressed her appreciation for those who supported her during her recovery. "Grateful and blessed to see the new year," she noted, although acknowledging the long path ahead.
