Batwoman star, Ruby Rose shared a graphic three-minute-long video on Instagram over the weekend, revealing how performing stunts nearly left her at risk of becoming paralyzed.
Over the weekend, Ruby revealed exactly where the scar came from.
She posted a graphic three-minute-long video on Instagram that documented her surgery.
"To everyone asking about my new Pez dispenser scar on my neck..." she began to explain.
Glad to see she has a sense of humor about it!
"I had herniated two discs doing stunts, and they were close to severing my spinal chord."
"Thank you Dr Bray for everything you did and for allowing me to keep working and doing what I love. "
"Did you not watch that Greys anatomy episode where they left a towel in a patient??"
Ruby also uploaded a marginally less graphic but more explanatory version of the video to her YouTube channel.
He revealed that the ruptured disk was "badly compressing her spinal cord".
"She had dysfunction with balance and numbness down her arms and [her] reflexes were off," he said.

"She would've had risk of losing function," he added.
"Surgery went great. She's already up and walking and moving her arms,
Fans are thrilled to hear that Ruby is back in good health, and thanks to her vivid documentary, they'll never have to wonder where the scar on the back of her neck is from ever again.
Thankfully she was able to resume the role without any more numbness and pain!
