Jane Pratt, the renowned editor from magazines like Sassy and Jane, left an East Village photography exhibition in tears due to physical pain caused by a recent accident. A few weeks earlier, while typing on her phone, she tripped near her Chelsea home, resulting in a leg injury that required 19 stitches and a broken sternum. At the event, where photographers Ryan McGinley and Sylvia Plachy were present, Pratt’s recovery was compromised when friends hugged her, aggravating her chest injury.

Story summary
Legendary editor Jane Pratt left a photography exhibition in the East Village in tears on Friday night due to a recent injury. At the "Being Good is Golden" show curated by David Belisle, Pratt appeared overwhelmed and exited early, comforted outside by lifelong friend R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe and actor Benn Northover. The incident occurred because a couple of weeks ago, while typing an email on her phone, she tripped near her Chelsea home, resulting in a gash requiring 19 stitches and breaking her sternum. Pratt's exit was also reportedly caused by getting hugs from friends at the event, which exacerbated her injury.
