Ana Navarro revealed she “lost a toenail” after wearing uncomfortable high heels for four consecutive nights at the Democratic National Convention, and even shared a photo of her injury on social media.
Ana, 52, took to Instagram on Monday and posted a close-up photo of her left foot showing a pair of painful-looking blisters as well as her missing toenail – something she attributed to partying “into the early hours” in inappropriate footwear.
The View host, who recently showed her support for President Joe Biden, captioned the post: ‘Guys… the DNC almost killed me. When I was younger, I didn’t get invited to all the cool stuff.
‘I get invited to big events now and if I had any common sense I’d realise I’m too old and too tired to be out late at night.
‘But of course, I tried to keep up with the cool kids. For four nights in a row, I partied like a member of the Rolling Stones and wore some awesome clothes and shoes (thanks, @frantaylorstyled and @ashleyfudd).
Ana Navarro ‘lost a toenail’ after wearing uncomfortable high heels for four consecutive nights at the Democratic National Convention
The View host looked sensational in a blue dress and silver heels as she took the stage at the Democratic National Convention on August 20.
“I now have blisters, cuts and lost a toenail. I would do it all again… but maybe with Birkenstocks. #yolo,” she added, and her 790,000 followers were quick to comment on the explicit photo.
“The price of being popular and cool,” one person congratulated her, while another wrote: “You even lost a nail! Poor baby! Hope your feet get better soon!”
A third person commented: “But the nail polish seemed to have stayed there!” while a fourth said: “After 40, you have to wear comfortable shoes.”
Someone else advised: ‘Go to all the events. Just wear some cute Nikes or Converse like today’s teenagers with their fancy party dresses. Take care of your feet!’
“Oh my God bless you! You’re worth the war wounds!” wrote another fan, while someone else simply said: “What cute toes, Ana.”
Other fans were quick to praise Ana for her role as a presenter at the Democratic National Convention on August 20, when she took the stage at Chicago’s United Center to show her support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
The political strategist and commentator looked stunning as she flaunted her weight loss in a baby blue, off-the-shoulder, midi-length dress which she teamed with a pair of silver, perspex heels.
During her speech, Ana compared Republican candidate Donald Trump to the communist regime in Nicaragua that she fled as a child.
“Donald Trump and his minions call Kamala a communist. I know communism. I fled communism in Nicaragua when I was eight years old. I don’t take that lightly,” she said.
Ana posted a close-up photo on Instagram of her left foot, which was missing a nail and had some painful-looking blisters.
Ana is a Republican, but she showed her support for Democrats at the United Center in Chicago last week.
The TV star also ran into former President Barack Obama backstage the night he gave his speech.
“And let me tell you what communist dictators do. And it’s never just for a day. They attack the free press,” he wrote in a later Instagram post, summing up his remarks on stage at the Democratic National Convention. “Do any of those things sound familiar? Is there anyone running for president who reminds you of that?”
The TV star also shared snaps of her backstage interaction with former President Barack Obama, joking in her caption: “Michelle was on stage. So someone had to fix @barackobama’s tie. @chacha_cardenas and I were happy to help,” referring to her beloved pet.
She then added about the photos: ‘Context: This was the moment she walked out of her dressing room to go on stage, last night. There were dozens of people lined up in the hallways hoping to catch a glimpse of her.
‘He walked with concentration and attention, without stopping. But when he saw me, he stopped to say hello. I met him in 2007, when he came to Miami on a book tour. I have been with him many times since then.
‘I voted against him and Biden twice, in 2008 and 2012, but it was never personal. I never doubted his decency, ability and morality. He’s a good man. And while I don’t agree with some of his policies, there’s no question he brought elegance and grace to the Oval Office.
‘I tell this story as a reminder of a time – before Trump – when we could disagree politically without hating each other.’
