Ruby Rose is recuperating after a fall at her home left her with multiple broken ribs, the actor revealed on social media. The incident forced an urgent hospital visit and has sidelined her for what she says will be several weeks of recovery.
Rose, 40, said the accident happened when she slipped on the edge of her swimming pool and struck her side against a wall as she fell into the water. She posted video of the moment to her Instagram Story and later detailed the injuries on Threads.
Immediate aftermath and medical care
According to Rose’s posts, she landed on the right side of her torso and sustained fractures to the lower two ribs. She was taken to the emergency department the same day.
Rose also shared that medical staff instructed her to use a breathing device as part of her recovery plan — a common precaution after rib fractures to help keep the lungs clear and prevent complications.
- Date reported: June 29
- Location: At-home accident by a swimming pool
- Injuries: Multiple broken ribs (lower two on the right side)
- Treatment: Emergency room visit and respiratory exercises with a breathing device
- Expected downtime: Rose says recovery will take several weeks
Context: a history of serious on-set injuries
Rose’s post prompted reminders of a far graver injury she suffered during production of the CW series Batwoman in 2019. At that time she endured two herniated discs while performing a stunt and later required emergency surgery after a near-catastrophic spinal injury.
Reflecting on that period, Rose questioned her own decisions around returning to work too quickly after injuries, saying she pushed herself back on set despite significant pain and numbness. This time, she signaled a different approach: she plans to rest rather than rush back.
What this means for her recovery
Broken ribs typically take weeks to heal and can make breathing and movement painful. Using a respiratory device and following medical advice can reduce the risk of lung problems while bones mend.
Rose has asked followers for entertainment recommendations as she convalesces, noting the downtime ahead. She described the episode wryly and said she does not intend to repeat past patterns of pushing through serious injuries.
Fans and observers will likely watch for updates from Rose as she recovers, and the incident underscores how quickly everyday accidents can sideline even those accustomed to high-risk physical work.
