In June 1988, a camera hit Pennington and she fell off the stage. She was unconscious and was taken to a hospital.
Taping of the episode resumed after 45 minutes. Pennington"s resulting surgery left her with scars and one shoulder shorter than the other, so she could no longer wear swimsuits on the show.
When Pearson Television took over the show October 19, 2000, Pennington"s employment ended following taping of the December 13 episode.
She signed a settlement which would not allow her to talk about why she was let go.
