Warning: the following story is not for the faint-hearted.
Jenna Bush Hager showed off a stomach-churning photo of her dislocated middle finger during Monday’s episode of “Today with Jenna & Friends.”
The TV host, 43, asked producers to “put a warning on” for viewers, saying, “We’re going to show the picture … if you’re queasy, don’t look at your television for the photo.”
The TV host explained to viewers that she had dislocated her finger.
She warned those watching to look away if they’re “queasy” while a photo flashed onscreen of her mangled finger.
The graphic pic showed her left middle finger sticking out at odd angles in two different places.
The journalist, who was co-hosting the show alongside her twin sister, Barbara Bush, shared that she had “unfortunately dislocated” it — but didn’t share any further details on how the mishap occurred.
“Y’all may notice that I’m wearing a splint,” said Jenna, who joked to her sister, “I may have you sign [it] during the commercial break.”

“Oh, I’d love to. What happened, Sissy?” Barbara asked.
Jenna responded, saying, “Now some people may think, ‘Wow, that’s the first time something’s ever happened to your finger,’” which prompted Barbara to retort, “But they would be wrong.”
Barbara was seemingly referring to an incident last February when Jenna sparked rumors that her marriage to Henry Chase Hager was on the rocks because she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring. She later explained that it was due to breaking her ring finger.
Last February, she sparked divorce rumors when she was spotted without her wedding ring.
However, the TV host — who is married to Henry Hager — later explained that she injured her wedding ring finger.
While she was having an X-ray, a technician told Jenna at the time that she had “a lot of hairline fractures” in her ring finger, to which she replied, “Well, now I’ve broken three of my 10 fingers.”
The sisters then reminisced about the time Jenna also broke one of her fingers in the fourth grade. Her parents, former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush, were disinclined to believe the injury as they thought she was just “[crying] wolf” because she “likes attention.”
“I actually had broken my other middle finger,” Jenna said, jokingly adding, “They just wanted to match.”
