Ruby Rose hospitalised after freak accident at home leaving her with broken ribs

Ruby Rose has been rushed to hospital after breaking her ribs in a freak pool accident. 

The 40-year-old Australian actress shared footage of the moment on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday and wrote, “RIP to my ribs, and to the rest of my summer. They are broken, multiple.” 

In the footage Rose held on to a hose as she made her way around the side of the pool.

But her foot missed the edge, which saw her slam into the wall before she fell into the water. 

“Straight to the hospital, did not pass go or collect 200 dollars,” Rose added in text on the clip. 

She posted the clip alongside the 1990 song by The La’s There She Goes.

Rose added “That’s your girl!” to the post too. 

In a follow-up post on Threads the Orange is the New Black star added more context to the accident and said she brought it on herself. 

“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. 

“Please come and take me out. I brought this upon myself. And now I have to breathe into a machine lol.

“Landed perfectly on the right side of my ribs. Breaking the bottom two.” 

The actress compared the situation to a similar injury she suffered while filming the Batwoman series. 

Rose broke a rib and ended up with two herniated discs due to performing stunts on the show in 2019 – but it didn’t stop her working. 

“I’m sorry, but what in the f---ing dissociation and self-abandonment did I do, to return to work on Batwoman, the day after breaking my rib and neck,” she wrote in another post on Threads.  

“My rib was killing me!! I couldn’t feel my legs or hands, I was in a batsuit!”

Rose reflected on her current situation and wrote, “I’ve just broken two ribs, falling into my own pool backwards and you couldn’t pay me to put a bra on, let alone stand up.”

She added that this recovery “is going to take many weeks.” 

Rose left Batwoman in 2020, after claiming that show executives made an unsafe work environment. 

Warner Bros. denied the claims, and called Rose’s accusations “defamatory and damaging” and “revisionist history.”
