Yes, she really DID break her wrist.
Christie Brinkley hit back at haters who claimed she faked her fall and injury on Dancing With The Stars to get her daughter Sailor, 21, on the show.
‘It goes against my better judgement to acknowledge haters and conspiracy theorists but because this involves my precious daughter I’m setting the record straight,’ the former supermodel, 65, wrote on Instagram on Friday along with 13 snaps of her hospital stay and treatment.

‘It’s sad that we live in a time where the truth is not as scintillating as hurtful lies.
‘If it was just me I would have let this roll right off my back, but on #nationaldaughtersday I feel it’s the perfect opportunity to stand up for truth.
‘Thank you for being such an amazing daughter @sailorbrinkleycook for overcoming your fears to step in I’m so proud of you! But I STILL want my favorite jeans back!’
Christie spoke out about her September 12 accident after her longtime friend Wendy Williams said she was faking it.

Meanwhile, Sailor is apparently feeling the pressure to perform, according to RadarOnline.com.
‘They got into a fight yesterday,’ a source told Radar of Wednesday’s rehearsal.
‘If it were up to Sailor, she would have never been thrown into it. She wasn’t mentally or physically prepared for it.’

Sailor, who is Christie’s daughter with ex-husband Peter Cook, is partnered with DWTS’s Ukrainian-American pro Val Chmerkovskiy, 33.
Rivals Ally Brooke, 26, and Lauren Alaina, 24, were also bothered by Sailor’s addition to the series, according to Radar.
‘They are annoyed there is another young girl to go up against,’ the insider said.
The singers had apparently ‘counted Christie out because of her age.’
