‘Batwoman’ Star Ruby Rose Undergoes Emergency Surgery After Stunt Injury Left Her Facing Paralysis

[quote]Ruby Rose has revealed she needed emergency surgery after a serious injury left her facing the possibility of paralysis. The Batwoman actress shared the details in a video posted late Thursday night on Instagram.

[quote]“To everyone asking about my new Pez dispenser scar on my neck… A couple of months ago I was told I needed an emergency surgery or I was risking becoming paralyzed,” Rose captioned the post. “I had herniated two discs doing stunts, and they were close to severing my spinal cord. I was in chronic pain and yet couldn’t feel my arms.”

My worst nightmare right there.

Why producers allow their lead actor to do stunts is beyond me.

How else will the audience know how hardcore and badass I am R4? Being a lesbian isn't enough these days, and there's only so much messy, slick hair and a vaguely aggressive sneer can do.

She looks like James Charles. I had to Google her to make sure they hadn't used the wrong photo.

Sorry to hear about her injury. Also sorry to see she has so defaced her body on the outside as well with hideous ink.

She asked me out. Not a lez, but I regret not taking her up on it. She has a huge personality or perhaps presence is a better word? She loads of fun to hang out with.

Get well soon, Ruby 🌹.

She bonkers. That’s exactly why she’s loads of fun to hang out with.

What did I fucking say? As soon as they announced they were casting her as Batwoman, side by side with pictures of her in a wheelchair recovering from spinal surgery? What did I say? I asked if there wasn't a single lesbian who didn't use a cane that they could have cast instead. And what happens? This.

After hearing Brendan Fraser talk about "doing his own stunts" as one of the reasons why his body is so messed up now, no actor should be doing their own stunts.

It's a CW show. You're not going to win an Emmy for it.

R24 what makes it worse with those CW shows is they don't even bother to hide when they're using stunt doubles. It's almost as bad as Buffy.

There's a local old time drag queen here called Ruby Redd and every time I see this Ruby Rose's name I have to remind myself that that's a different person and Ruby Redd isn't playing Batwoman.

by Anonymousreply 36October 7, 2019 1:00 AM

Rachel Skarsten is playing Red Alice on the show. I didn't totally recognize her at first and had to google it to make sure. She's hot as hell but I wonder if she had some plastic surgery or if her character makeup as a crazy villain just made her look different. I remember her way back when she was on Birds of Prey and then saw her again on Lost Girl (at her hottest). She's the blonde...

Yeah, I hate the Girl Power Captain Marvel (but I loved Ms. Marvel 1976-1980!) but enjoyed the movie a lot.

Wonder Woman is my favorite and her movie was perfect for me.

I have never liked the comic book Batwoman but greatly enjoyed her pilot episode. I thought the episode flowed well and all of the actors did a great job, especially RR and the step-sister.

Dodgson is scorching hot!

Ruby Rose seems, at best, to be utterly charmless, while still seeming completely ruthless

She comes across as smug.

Also, her bony, short-haired, tattoo-filled body seem so unwholesome, so vulgar.

It is no wonder her show is a such a ratings and audience failure.

I don’t want to hear shit from any of you bitches about DC not showing off enough gay men. So far they’ve had a shit ton of gay male characters, both heroes and villains, all of whom are complex and more than just their sexuality while still not having their sexuality ignored. How many gay male characters do the Marvel TV and Film universes have? Oh yeah, that’s right, none except a 3 minute cameo from a director in the very last movie of a huge franchise that was cut in almost every country except America. Clearly DC is the biggest offender when it comes to lack of gay male representation.
