On Tuesday, Ruby Rose, 40, took to Threads to share a video capturing the moment of her fall. In the footage, Rose can be seen holding what appears to be a hose while walking near the edge of her outdoor pool. Suddenly, she loses her balance, colliding with a wall before plunging into the water. Emerging from the pool, she clutches her chest in visible distress.
In her post, the star of “Orange Is the New Black” expressed humour despite her injury, saying, “Please come and take me out. I brought this upon myself.” She added, “Landed perfectly on the right side of my ribs. Breaking the bottom two.” Rose disclosed that she was now relying on a machine to assist with her breathing as a result of her injuries.
Further detailing her condition, Rose shared her experience on Instagram, where she posted another video along with a light-hearted caption. “RIP to my ribs and to the rest of my summer. They are broken, multiple,” she joked, while referencing the 1990 song “There She Goes” by The La’s. Her humour continued as she remarked that she went “straight to hospital, did not pass go or collect 200 dollars.”
Having faced similar challenges in the past, Ruby Rose reflected on her previous injury while filming the TV series “Batwoman” in 2019. In her post, she questioned her decisions during that time, recalling, “I’m sorry, but what in the f–-king dissociation and self-abandonment did I do to return to work on Batwoman the day after breaking my rib and neck?” At that time, she had played the role of Kate Kane, Bruce Wayne’s cousin, before departing from the show in 2020.
As she embarks on her recovery journey, the actress revealed that this process would take considerable time. To keep herself occupied during her recuperation, Rose reached out to her followers for recommendations on books and shows to enjoy, informing them, “This is going to take many weeks.”
Concerns for her health have understandably arisen among her fans. Ruby Rose’s candidness about her situation serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of accidents in everyday life. While the actress attempts to maintain her trademark sense of humour, the incident underscores the pain and challenges that can accompany unexpected injuries.
As the story unfolds, many will look out for updates from Rose, eager to hear about her recovery and future projects. In the meantime, her resilience, with a touch of wit, highlights the importance of taking care of oneself in challenging moments. With multiple broken ribs now part of her story, Ruby Rose’s dedication to her craft and her fans remains apparent through her social media engagement.
