Ruby Rose has been hospitalized after suffering multiple broken ribs in a pool accident at home. The actor shared CCTV footage of the incident on social media, giving fans a glimpse of the painful fall.
According to Rose, the accident happened on Monday while she was in her garden. She slipped near the edge of her swimming pool, hit the wall and pool ledge, and then fell into the water.

Rose posted the home surveillance video on her Instagram Stories.
The footage shows her holding a garden hose while walking beside the pool. Moments later, she loses her balance, crashes into the side of the pool, and falls into the water. The clip was shared with the song “There She Goes” by The La’s.
Alongside the video, Rose wrote:
“RIP to my ribs, and to the rest of my summer. They are broken, multiple.”
She added with a touch of humour:
“Straight to hospital, did not pass go or collect 200 dollars.”
Actor Says the Recovery Will Take Weeks
Before posting the video, Rose also updated fans on Threads about her condition.
She wrote:
“One second I’m here talking to you. Next I’m in the hospital with two broken ribs. What a bloody Monday!”
In another post, the actor admitted that the latest injury has left her in significant pain.
“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. Send good book and show recommendations. This is going to take many weeks.”
Rose indicated that the recovery process is expected to take several weeks, bringing an early end to her summer plans.
Ruby Rose Compared the Injury to Her Batwoman Accident
The actor also reflected on a much more serious injury she suffered while filming Batwoman in 2019.
During a stunt, Rose sustained two herniated discs that nearly severed her spinal cord, forcing her to undergo emergency surgery.
She has previously revealed that she returned to filming just a day after breaking her rib and injuring her neck. According to Rose, she wore the Batwoman suit even when she had temporarily lost feeling in her arms and legs.
Past Allegations About Batwoman Working Conditions

After her departure, she alleged that executives behind the CW series created a hostile and unsafe work environment. Rose claimed she was pressured to return to work just 10 days after undergoing surgery for a serious on-set injury.
Warner Bros., the parent company of The CW, denied those allegations.
