Climate change isn’t the only topic Brinkley has been about this year. Days after New Year, the mother-of-three disclosed that she recently underwent a hip replacement surgery in an Instagram post.
Sharing photos of her new hip, Brinkley explained that after injuring herself in a country skiing helicopter crash in 1994, she was told she needed to replace her hip, but didn’t budge.
