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… I had herniated two discs doing stunts, and they were close to severing my spinal chord. I was in chronic pain and yet couldn’t feel my arms… Thank you Dr Bray for everything you did and for allowing me to keep working and doing what I love. I am forever in your debt. And to anyone asking why I let them video it.. Did you not watch that Greys anatomy episode where they left a towel in a patient?? Also I wanted to see what happens when we go under.

Rose said she herniated two discs while performing stunts a couple of months ago. The injury came close to severing her spinal cord, leaving her in “chronic pain” and unable to feel her arms.

This is not the first time Rose has undergone serious surgery. Last January, Rose revealed she was wheelchair-bound after going through a back procedure for her spinal issues, according to People.

Ruby Rose is known for her roles in movies and TV series like XXX: Return of Xander Cage, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Pitch Perfect 3, John Wick Chapter 2 and 3.

Rose is set to debut as ‘Batwoman’ in The CW series which premieres on October 6th 2019.
