Many ‘Love Island USA’ viewers are still at odds as tensions remain high following Friday’s heated Casa Amor recoupling. The debate has largely centered around contestants Aniya Harvey and Kuman Chandler, better known as KC. KC and Aniya have been coupled together since the first episode. The pair seemed to genuinely like each other. However, things became more complicated as conversations about exploring other connections continued.

As Casa Amor began, both decided to explore other connections and test what they had built together. In the end, Aniya ended her connection with Casa Amor bombshell Karl and chose to remain loyal to KC.

Meanwhile, KC returned to the villa with a new connection, Tierra. His decision left Aniya emotional, single, and vulnerable, sparking mixed reactions from viewers. Many celebrities have also shared their thoughts on KC and Aniya’s connection. However, some of their comments drew criticism from viewers.

Now, Ciara Miller, Tefi Pessoa, and Marsai Martin are responding after viewers pushed back on their takes.

Ciara Miller & Tefi Pessoa  Address Viewers Following Backlash Over The Latest Episode Of Aftersun

Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa are the new hosts of ‘Love Island USA Aftersun,’ where they recap the latest episodes every Saturday. During the latest episode, the pair discussed the connection between islanders Aniya and KC. They felt KC was open about wanting to explore other connections, while Aniya often struggled with those conversations.

The hosts also agreed that, at times, KC reassured Aniya more than she reassured him.

While they didn’t fault KC for exploring during Casa Amor, they admitted they were disappointed Aniya didn’t fully explore her connection with Karl. Their take quickly sparked debate online, with some viewers feeling Ciara and Tefi were being biased toward Aniya.

One viewer wrote, “Ciara’s take on Aniya is interesting coming from the same girl on Summer House whose drama always seemed to involve a man telling her one thing while telling someone else another, not being truthful about his intentions, and lowkey holding a grudge against her.”

Ciara quickly responded, “You think I don’t understand Aniya’s predicament?!?!? Be so fu****g for real. We film for 6 hours. There’s a lot of perspectives that get left on the cutting room floor. Spare me.”

In another response, she added, “You guys need to fu****ng relax. We film for 6 hours. Perspectives get left on the cutting room floor. I could psychoanalyze all of LI for hours and write a dissertation on Black people/colorism on reality TV. Don’t talk to me about how I ‘fail’ to see any person of color’s perspective or how I need more ‘empathy.’ I’ve quite literally lived it.”

Tefi also addressed the criticism, writing, “I’m not an executive producer on the show & while me and C can suggest ideas, we do not have access to footage or voting or anything like that. We filmed this last episode from 3:30 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. Every episode we are called too biased and then too unbiased, that we support the women too much and then we are too hard on them. Then we are inundated with being male centered and then man haters. We cannot please everyone because we are human. Thank you for watching!”

Marsai Martin Addresses Backlash Over Posts Seemingly Defending KC

While Marsai Martin didn’t say much about the situation, she also found herself facing similar backlash online. On Saturday, she took to her Instagram Story, writing, “@loveislandusa y’all got me defending MEN. I’m annoyed.”

Viewers quickly tried to figure out which islander she was referring to after finding a TikTok she had reposted. Many flooded her comments, accusing her of defending KC. Others called her “a bird” and criticized her for sharing her opinion.

Responding to the backlash, Marsai shared a clip of Michael Jackson lowering someone’s gun with the caption, “Me having an unpopular opinion.” She also added, “Y’all too serious for me. I thought we was all just watching TV

Social Media Reacts 

Folks gathered under The Shade Room Teens as they reacted to posts from Ciara Miller, Tefi Pessoa, and Marsai Martin. Some viewers felt the three didn’t hold KC accountable and were too hard on Aniya. Others felt people were doing too much, saying everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Some even called many viewers this season “bullies” and “crazy.”

Instagram user @freekdagemini wrote, “Now y’all sending death threats to the host because they don’t agree with y’all this s**t is getting out of control”

Instagram user @ohwowyoumad added, “The fans are sick this year yall have lost yall minds attacking people”

While Instagram user @thelibbyjackson wrote, “She said respectfully, f yall 😂”

Instagram user @xxyymm__ wrote, “Girl bye. You were played by wes multiple times and we gave you grace but not an ounce of grace for Aniya”

Instagram user @jadenworsttt added, “they received backlash for only coming at the female when the male was clearly in the wrong that’s the problem with this generation now”

While Instagram @kanteywest wrote,”okay well let’s just say that particular take from them was extremely trash”

Instagram user @alchemist_amineh wrote, “The fanbases are absolutely ridiculous! They are bullying people for having any opinion that’s opposite of theirs. It’s very toxic and it’s getting worse every season.”

Instagram user @janayfasho added, “i completely agree with her yall be so biased and follow the leader no wonder it struck some nerves”

While Instagram user @taeluxe.aesthetics wrote,”Yall have parasocial relationships go touch some damn grass!!”Instagram user @itsjust.liaa wrote, “Y’all gotta chill on marsai fr. That’s our girl.It’s just a different opinion. Y’all gotta respect people’s takes and just agree to disagree.”

Rumors surrounding the DC Universe’s next Batman have exploded across social media, with multiple insiders claiming that Tom Brittney has been cast as the Dark Knight for DC Studios’ upcoming The Brave and the Bold.

While nothing has been officially confirmed by James Gunn, the speculation gained momentum after well-known scooper MyTimeToShineHello simply posted, “It’s true, it’s Tom,” leading fans to connect the dots to Brittney. Several entertainment outlets have since echoed the rumor, although none have been able to verify it through DC Studios.

For fans unfamiliar with Brittney, the English actor is best known for his starring role in Grantchester. He was also reportedly one of the finalists to play Superman before David Corenswet ultimately landed the role, making him someone already familiar to DC Studios during the casting process.

Interestingly, James Gunn previously praised Brittney’s acting ability after seeing fan artwork imagining him as Batman, calling him “a great actor.” While that comment fueled fan speculation, Gunn has repeatedly stated that DC Studios will not officially cast Batman until the script for The Brave and the Bold is where they want it to be.

At this point, it’s important to stress that this remains nothing more than a rumor. DC Studios has not announced its Batman, and neither Gunn nor co-head Peter Safran has confirmed Brittney’s involvement in the DCU.

Still, if the reports prove accurate, Brittney would become the first actor to portray the DCU’s version of Bruce Wayne, separate from Robert Pattinson’s Batman, who continues to headline Matt Reeves’ standalone Elseworlds franchise.

Until an official announcement arrives, fans should treat the reports with caution. However, the growing buzz has certainly made Tom Brittney one of the most talked-about names in the race to wear the cape and cowl.

Tom Sandoval’s messy split from Victoria Robinson has taken another dramatic turn, with both sides accusing each other of misconduct as the legal battle surrounding their breakup intensifies. 

Days after a judge granted temporary restraining orders connected to a heated altercation at the Los Angeles home they once shared, new claims have emerged over injuries, alleged court order violations, and who has the legal right to the residence. 

As each camp pushes back against the other’s narrative, the dispute shows no signs of slowing down.

The fallout from Tom Sandoval’s breakup with Victoria has become increasingly contentious after a Los Angeles judge issued temporary restraining orders against the model and her father, Will Robinson, following a June 3 confrontation at the home the former couple previously shared.

The incident drew widespread attention after footage appeared to show Sandoval pushing Will away after the latter grabbed him, causing him to fall into a lit fire pit.

According to a source close to Victoria, her father continues recovering from multiple injuries, including a dislocated thumb, a herniated disc and a deep cut to his heel that required medical treatment. 

However, an insider close to Sandoval disputed the severity of those claims, alleging Will already had existing back problems and suggesting his hand injury resulted from “punching a hole in the door.”

Sandoval Details Physical Assault Allegations In Court Filing

In documents filed with Los Angeles Superior Court, Tom Sandoval presented his own account of the confrontation.

The 42-year-old alleged Victoria physically attacked him during an argument after he realized she was recording him. 

According to Sandoval, she repeatedly struck him in the head and face, causing blurred vision along with ear and neck injuries. He included photographs of the injuries he claims he suffered.

Sandoval further alleged that Will grabbed his arms and shoulders, leaving him feeling “trapped and violated.”

“I pushed him away from me in order to protect myself and create distance, which caused him to fall,” he  stated, adding that Will “was the first person to put his hands” on him and that he never physically pursued him afterward.

He also alleged Will punched a hole through the spare bedroom door while Sandoval had barricaded himself inside.

Tom Sandoval Says He Has Been Forced From His Own Home

The “Vanderpump Rules” star told the court he has been unable to return to the residence since the incident and has instead been staying with friends and in hotels.

“I am gravely concerned for my safety and well-being and I need to regain access and control over my home, vehicle and belongings,” he wrote.

Sandoval also said Victoria and her father had “completely displaced” him from the rental home despite him continuing to pay for it.

The reality star alleged that he regrets helping Victoria in the past, including allegedly sending money to her mother after receiving a call asking for help with bail.

Sandoval And Victoria Clash Over Their Shared Home

The dispute has also expanded into a fight over the Los Angeles property the former couple shared. 

A source close to Victoria told the Daily Mail she intends to pursue legal avenues to regain access to the residence.

According to them, the 33-year-old plans to argue that she paid most of the down payment, her name remains on the lease, and that nearly everything inside belongs to her except Tom Sandoval’s treadmill.

Meanwhile, the Bravo star told TMZ that his former partner and her father had been issued “an immediate move out order, a restraining order,” explaining that authorities supervised the process to ensure everything remained peaceful.

Tensions resurfaced when Victoria returned to retrieve belongings under police supervision. During the exchange, footage captured her telling Sandoval she hated him “like all of [his] ex-girlfriends.”

The disagreement continued over whether Victoria had permission to bring a moving truck to collect her possessions. 

A source close to the online content creator said Sandoval told her a U-Haul could retrieve her belongings, while his  representatives insisted he “never ever” gave such permission.

Tom Sandoval Accuses Victoria Robinson Of Violating Court Orders

Sandoval’s camp has also accused Victoria of repeatedly violating the restraining order shortly after it was issued.

“It only took her a couple of hours to break the restraining order three different times,” a source close to the musician alleged.

They claimed Victoria returned to the home, had a friend contact Sandoval and attempted to retrieve surveillance equipment through a third party.

The insider added, “Basically Victoria’s conduct is showing disregard for the court orders and will be addressed in further legal proceedings.”

Victoria’s representatives, however, firmly denied every allegation. According to a source close to the model, she “did not” violate the restraining order and any third party who contacted Sandoval did so independently.

Editor’s note: The below interview contains major spoilers for the From Season 4 finale.

From Season 4 has finally come to an end, but MGM+’s horror series didn’t resolve its penultimate chapter without some heartbreaking losses along the way. While the beginning of the season saw the aftermath of Jim’s (Eion Bailey) fateful meeting with the Man in the Yellow Suit (Douglas E. Hughes), the conclusion confirmed that his Sophia (Julia Doyle) guise is just as willing to get rid of anyone who could thwart his plans, even if it means murder. Meanwhile, Jade (David Alpay) and Tabitha’s (Catalina Sandino Moreno) mission to unearth the bones of the town’s sacrificed children, pulling up the bottle tree in the process, seems to incite the creatures all over again, culminating in a second heartbreaking loss.

Ahead of the premiere of the finale, “If a Tree Falls in the Forest…,” Collider spoke with actors Kaelen Ohm, who plays Marielle, and Nathan D. Simmons, who plays Elgin, about their characters’ shocking fates. Over the course of the interview, which you can read below, the two discuss when they learned that Marielle and Elgin wouldn’t be surviving the finale, why Elgin chooses to stand up to Sophia instead of agreeing to serve her, the significance of Marielle’s final request from Kristi (Chloe Van Landschoot), how they’d like to potentially be resurrected for From‘s final season, and more.

COLLIDER: When did both of you find out about what would be happening to your characters this season? Did you get a phone call as a heads-up before having to read it in the script? How did John [Griffin] break the news?

NATHAN D. SIMMONS: For me, how the event went was that I was out somewhere, and I got a call from John’s assistant. They were like, “John wants to meet you for coffee,” and I was like, “Okay, cool, cool. I’ll see if I can do this evening.” Then time went by, and I was like, “So I can’t do this evening. I’ll do it tomorrow.” Then I was like, “Actually, can we do tomorrow evening?” Then he was like, “No, John really wants to see you,” and then I was like, “Okay, cool.” Then I get to this one café, and it’s not clueing in. We sat outside, and it’s still not clueing in. And then I was like, “Oh, I see what it is now.”

KAELEN OHM: I was actually with Chloe [Van Landschoot] when John’s assistant called me, and I know what this meeting means because it has happened to people before, so some of us at least knew the template. So I answer my phone, and he’s like, “Hey, Kaelen, John would like to meet you for coffee.” We were just about to go into the climbing gym together, and she’s like, “What?” I got off the phone, and I was like, “I’m meeting John at the café tomorrow.” And so we processed the information together in a way. She was more upset than I was at first, I think. But yeah, it’s part of it. Someone’s gotta go every few episodes, and definitely by the finale.

‘From’s Kaelen Ohm and Nathan D. Simmons Didn’t Have Much Time Before Filming Their Death Scenes

“… everyone will be going back to Season 5 very, very soon, and we aren’t, are we?”

Image via MGM+

Both of you have probably had more time to go through the process of mourning these characters, but did you know from the beginning how it was going to happen, or did you end up finding out the specifics later?

OHM: I think he told me that generally I was going to be protecting Fatima and going out that way, and then he told me it was Smiley, and I was like, “Oh, that sounds cool.” So, I got a sense before we read the script, but we also had that meeting, maybe a week, but it could have been a few days before we got the script. It was not too much time in advance. It’s a process to go through because you hear about it, you read it, you shoot it, and now it’s coming out, and everyone will be going back to Season 5 very, very soon, and we aren’t, are we?

SIMMONS: Yeah. I think it was like what Kaelen was saying, like a week or a couple of weeks? I don’t remember exactly. But yeah, he pretty much told me everything about the prayer and the deal and everything, and it being Sophia. I remember it was before I read the scene where Clara joined Sophia’s side, so that was all surprising to me. I was kind of excited at that point, though, because the season before, I thought he was dead, and I had to process all that. Then this season, I felt like he went off on a really good note.

In the moment, Elgin has a choice to make. He can either do what Clara did and agree to work for Sophia, or he can stand up to her and go out resisting her. Why do you feel like he ultimately decides to stand up to her, even with the unspoken implication that he probably is going to die for it?

SIMMONS: For Elgin, it’s a thing of having to maintain what your morals are, who you are. I think that was, I guess you can say, the fatal flaw, more so than even saying, “Hey, is this you in the photo, Sophia?” I think his flaw was that he has this very pure view of what’s good and what’s wrong, and I think at the end, that kind of overrides his will to survive and even go home.

Kaelen, what was the preparation process like for you in terms of not just preparing to film the initial scene with Pegah [Ghafoori] and Jamie [McGuire], but also the scene with Chloe when Kristi has to go into the room and essentially see Marielle lying there?

OHM: Death scenes are interesting because I’ve never died before, obviously, so I don’t have a personal experience to reference. So, there is a technical aspect where you’ve got to make sure that it’s going to work and be believable on that level. But I think the process of dying, because that is most of the scene, she does get to have a struggle, which I loved, that it’s just really remembering what’s important.

I’m really fascinated with near-death experiences and have watched documentaries on them and things like that, and I think it was about dropping in that type of psychology, things I’ve heard about near-death experiences, things I’ve heard about what you can focus on when you’re leaving, but then trying to keep a line into reality, if you’re going to fight, because there is supposedly this decision point when you’re headed out. My grandmother actually has told me about this. She almost died a couple of times when she was younger.

There’s so many layers of it, and you prepare as much as you can, but then on the day, you just kind of surrender to what’s there. There’s a lot of technical stuff to execute. You’re trying to stay true and grounded in your own performance and still play off what other people are bringing, which, in that case, Chloe just brought such an incredible performance. Having Pegah and Jamie there, too, it’s all par for being able to have an authentic experience in acting, which is such a blessing, especially on television when everything’s moving so quickly.

The kiss between them feels like Marielle accepting that she’s going, and wanting that last pure, perfect moment of happiness with Kristi. Did the two of you want to approach that in any specific way?

OHM: No. There was so much to shoot that day and so much of the technical aspect of working with Jamie and the prosthetics on my body that when we got to that, we didn’t actually have too much time. So it was really raw. I think Chloe got two takes on that. We kind of got two takes together on the ground. I’m trying to stay in my suffering body so it doesn’t look like I’m suddenly asking for something with a normal level of energy.

I suppose she’d have to speak to this, but Kristi’s also having this moment of not wanting to say goodbye, but I think Mari understands that she’s about to leave, so I just asked, and she gave it to me. Then that’s when I was supposed to take my last breath. So, there was some spontaneity, I guess, is what I could say. That would be the answer, is that there was some spontaneity, and we found what we did on the day, and that’s what it ended up being.

I know that you sometimes film things out of order, and there are sometimes multiple episodes being filmed at once. What was the moment when they called wrap for your last scene of this season?

SIMMONS: Lucky enough for me, it was my death scene. It was a very good feeling. It felt like I gave up, gave up the ghost. I got to say my final goodbyes there. It was good. Usually, like last year, for the hammer, passing-out scene, we shot a bunch of other stuff, so the big moment was over with, and then we did a bunch of small moments, but the emotional climax already happened. So, I was happy that this time I released it all as I released Elgin, which was really good.

OHM: They kept me, actually, unexpectedly. We shot the death scene, and that was supposed to be my wrap, and then they’re like, “Oh, we want to shoot you. When Boyd comes in, we want you to be there,” and that was some days later. So, that ended up being the last moment for me, but it was still the death scene. Then I got to have my good cry at the end, walking back to my trailer. One of our PA’s is a really close family friend, so that was nice, to do that with her.

As much as it feels like the two of you have said goodbye to these characters, I feel like it’s worth mentioning that we’ve seen characters who we’ve thought were dead come back in some form. Father Khatri has obviously been a presence. Jim has popped up here and there. There’s still one more season to go. There’s a possibility, maybe right at the end, that we could see some friendly faces. If you could choose, how would the two of you want to come back for one last hurrah in From‘s final season?

OHM: Marielle did have this vision in Season 4, when she was in the chamber, experiencing all the people who have died, and that people never get to actually leave things like that. So I guess to see her on that other side and what that means would be really cool. And I’ve had this vision of all of us, the regulars on the show who have died, somehow being together there. I don’t know. What do you think, Nathan? What’s your wish?

SIMMONS: I kind of have this vision of seeing Elgin 10 years later, or something, coming back with, like, a flamethrower and burning all the monsters and the Man in Yellow. Then Boyd comes up, and he…

OHM: [Laughs] Something very Rambo.

SIMMONS: I’m playing. That would be cool, though! But no, I think it’d be cool at the very end, seeing everyone together or seeing where Elgin is, or if he’s alive somewhere. Something like that.

All four seasons of From are now available to stream on MGM+.

Nearly two decades after it first wowed millions, the greatest dark fantasy film of all time — it would be fair to describe it as a masterpiece — is returning to the big screen. The movie, which famously received a 22-minute standing ovation at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival (yes, that remains a record to this day), also went on to receive six Oscar nods and took home three statuettes. Intrigued? Then head to the multiplexes when the fall hits.

Cineverse and Fathom Entertainment have released the first trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth 20th Anniversary, which brings the film back to the big screen on October 9. The new release has been overseen by del Toro himself and will be presented in 4K, with a version available in 3D and HDR for the first time, alongside a 2D HDR presentation. Del Toro has also recorded a new voiceover, so he’s taken it seriously, that’s for sure. This looks like the most immersive way so far to check out one of the finest fantasy films ever made.

The film is set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, in 1944, and follows the young Ofelia after she and her pregnant mother move to the countryside with her horrendous stepfather, Captain Vidal. While Vidal is busy hunting the remaining rebels hiding in the nearby forest, Ofelia discovers a hidden labyrinth and meets an ageless Faun, who tells her she is a princess from an enchanted world. Just the kind of thing you hope happens to you when you go for a quiet stroll in the country, right?

Who Stars in ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’?

The film stars Ivana Baquero (The Shannara Chronicles) as Ofelia, Maribel Verdú (Y Tu Mamá También) as Mercedes, Doug Jones (The Shape of Water) as the Faun and the Pale Man, and Sergi López (Dirty Pretty Things) as Captain Vidal.

Written and directed by del Toro, Pan’s Labyrinth was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three, including Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Makeup. It also remains one of the most acclaimed fantasy films ever made, with its mix of historical horror, creature work, and heartbreak still feeling completely untouchable two decades later. Del Toro explained the reason for the re-release in a statement.

“Pan’s Labyrinth turns 20 years old, and in Cineverse we have found the perfect partner to make it live again on the big screen and in new and improved home presentations. Cineverse is committed and bold, and their track record for reaching a maximum audience is magnificent. Together we will reconnect the generations that have shared the film through the years and long to experience it theatrically again.”

Tickets for Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth 20th Anniversary go on sale September 9 ahead of its October 9 theatrical release.

We’re now past the halfway point of 2026, and as with every year, there have been some major box office surprises. The year opened with a few sci-fi bombs in Mercy (starring Rebecca Ferguson) and Greenland 2: Migration (starring Gerard Butler), which collectively lost millions for both Amazon and Warner Bros. The first big sci-fi box office smash hit of the year didn’t come until the premiere of Project Hail Mary (starring Ryan Gosling), which grossed over $600 million at the box office before also becoming a streaming success on MGM+. It’s also been a wildly successful year for low-budget horror movies, including Backrooms, which hails from 21-year-old director Kane Parsons. After earning $330 million against a $10 million budget to become the most successful A24 film ever, the studio is putting Backrooms back in theaters this weekend with 15 minutes of never-before-seen footage.

However, as wildly successful as Backrooms has been, it doesn’t even come close to the profitability of the biggest horror sensation of 2026, Obsession. Written and directed by up-and-coming prodigy Curry Barker, Obsession was produced on a shoe-string budget reported to be around $750,000, and the film turned out to be profitable in less than one day. After releasing in theaters on May 15, Obsession has racked up over $370 million in total box office earnings, meaning the film has grossed nearly 500x its budget — this is enough to not only be the most profitable movie of the year, but one of the most profitable films ever made. After its tremendous box office success, Obsession is ready to enter a different stage of its life cycle, where the film is now available to stream at home via VOD platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV.

What Is ‘Obsession’ About?

Obsession follows a guy who breaks a mysterious “One Wish Willow” to win his crush’s heart. While he does ultimately get what he asks for, he realizes that this newfound desire comes at a dark and sinister price. The horror film stars breakouts Inde Navarette, Michael Johnston, Cooper Tomlinson, and Megan Lawless, who are all certain to get more offers going forward. Obsession holds equally strong scores of 94% from critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the highest-rated films of 2026. Disclosure Day director Steven Spielberg has also publicly shared his love for Obsession, further driving it home as one of the biggest movies of the year. His full quote about the film reads as follows: “I’m so happy for them. I think it’s so fantastic, and I think it’s great that they had basically, very little money. Especially Obsession, had under $1 million, and the other film [Backrooms], had maybe nine or 10, and they’re both doing so well, and I just applaud them. I haven’t seen Backrooms, I am going to see it when all this is over. But, I have seen Obsession, and I loved it.“

Check out Obsession at home on VOD platforms and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of all the biggest movies of the year.

Ruby Rose’s latest attempt to tackle a simple backyard chore ended in a painful trip to the emergency room. 

The actress shocked fans after sharing footage of the frightening moment she slipped into her swimming pool, revealing the accident left her with multiple broken ribs. 

While the ordeal has already derailed her summer plans, it also revived memories of the serious health battles and traumatic injuries that have shaped much of her recent life.

Ruby Rose revealed she was rushed to the hospital after a backyard accident left her with two broken ribs. 

The “Batwoman” star took to her Instagram Stories with a video showing herself carefully edging along the narrow ledge surrounding her swimming pool while holding a garden hose. 

Rose had been trying to water a section of her garden overlooking the pool when everything suddenly went wrong. She lost her footing and plunged into the water, striking her ribs against the pool’s edge during the fall.

The video captured the immediate aftermath, with the 40-year-old visibly distressed as she struggled in the pool and instinctively clutched her side in pain.

Despite the severity of the accident, Rose managed to inject a bit of humor into the situation. “RIP to my ribs, and the rest of my summer. They are broken, multiple. Straight to hospital, did not pass go or collect $200,” she wrote alongside the clip, adding a laughing-crying emoji.

Rose later shared the same video on Threads, where she reflected on how quickly an ordinary day spiraled into a medical emergency.

“One second I’m here talking to you. The next I’m in the hospital with two broken ribs. What a bloody Monday,” she wrote.

Rose Previously Faced A Terrifying Injury On The ‘Batwoman’ Set

Ruby Rose knows all too well how dangerous physical injuries can become. Back in 2019, she was hospitalized after performing a stunt while filming her starring role in “Batwoman.” At first, doctors believed she had either fractured or broken a rib.

“We thought that I had broken a rib or just fractured a rib and that it was, like, 6 to 12 weeks of healing,” she recalled during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Instead, the pain continued long after that expected recovery period. “So, then I had 6 to 12 weeks of chronic pain and just sort of kept assuming that was what it was,” Rose explained.

Doctors later discovered the true cause was far more serious: two herniated discs in her spine. “It was really, really terrifying,” the Hollywood star said, revealing that she could have been left paraplegic had the condition not been treated immediately.

Ruby Rose Revealed The Emotional Toll Her Injuries Took On Her

Years after the spinal injury, Rose admitted she still struggled to discuss the ordeal because of the emotional scars it left behind.

Speaking to TV Week in March 2026, she explained that simply talking about the accident would trigger an overwhelming response.

“The memories around it were so bad that I had to put myself into a trauma facility for three months in 2021, so I could learn how to talk about what happened without fainting,” Rose shared.

The “John Wick: Chapter 2” actress described the experience as life-changing, saying, “It was a horrendous injury, and I was so very alone throughout the whole experience.”

She explained that her brain would shut down and turn off whenever she attempted to revisit those painful memories publicly.

Rose Also Survived A Serious Car Crash Before Her Latest Accident

Ruby Rose revisited another frightening chapter earlier this year while appearing in SBS documentary series “The Hospital: In the Deep End.”

During the program, she revealed she had previously been hospitalized following a devastating car crash that left her unconscious after being thrown through a windshield.

“I was [in hospital] for many, many weeks. I couldn’t walk or anything and I had to use a bedpan,” she recalled per the Daily Mail. Throughout her lengthy recovery, Rose depended heavily on hospital staff.

“I relied entirely on the nurses for everything,” she added. Rose then thanked the nurses who cared for her during that trauma, noting the intense, long-hour, and emotional nature of their work.

Ruby Rose Revealed She Suffered Complications From A Surgery

In July 2021, Rose made headlines after revealing that she was rushed back to the hospital after suffering “serious” complications from a recent surgical procedure.

As The Blast reported, she explained that the medical emergency was made even worse by overwhelmed hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The movie star said the operation itself had gone well, but complications developed the following day, forcing her to seek emergency care. 

“I did have a procedure, and I had to have a surgery, but it was fine, and the surgery went well. But then yesterday, I had a few complications, and I had to go to the emergency room,” she shared. 

Rose explained that by the time she realized she urgently needed treatment, an ambulance was called, but it spent hours searching for a hospital that could admit her because facilities had been turning patients away all night. 

Describing her condition as “quite serious,” she said doctors eventually accepted her after what she called “a bit of a standoff.”
