The Tennessean reported that Bon Jovi was filming a music video on the bridge, which remained open to the public during the shoot.
Video footage posted to YouTube but later removed showed the assistant talking to the woman.
The Grammy-winning frontman slowly approached, waved to the woman and joined the conversation.
Eventually, the woman turned around to face them, and they helped her over the railing to safety. Bon Jovi talked to the woman and hugged her.
Representatives for Bon Jovi did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
