Illness

As of the recent past, Gena and her husband filed a lawsuit against a medical device manufacturer, after Gena had a bad reaction to a chemical used in MRI scans. Reportedly, the mentioned chemicals left her feeling weak and tired, in addition to giving her burning sensations and pain. The chemical, gadolinium was given to Gena prior to her scan. Addressing the situation, Chuck stated “I’ve given up my film career to concentrate on Gena, my whole life right now is about keeping her alive. I believe the issue is so important”. As a result, Gena was rushed to hospitals six times and had breathing difficulties, rib and joint pain among other problems. Nonetheless, the doctors believe that the chemical didn’t induce the pain and believe that it was something else. Reportedly, the couple spent $2 million on this case, but it’s yet to be resolved. The family still live in Texas, in Navasota.
