GRAPHIC: Ronda Rousey Almost Lost Her Finger While Filming A TV Show

20 Aug, 2019

Ronda Rousey was nearly left with just nine fingers after a “freak accident” that happened while she was filming Fox’s 9-1-1 TV show… and she didn’t even realize it at first.

Rousey revealed in an Instagram post that she’d been filming her first take on the show when a boat door fell on her hand. Used to working through pain, she didn’t even look at her finger, figuring it was just “jammed,” and continued shooting. Once she realized the extent of the damage, she told the director what had happened and was rushed to the hospital to have her finger reattached.

Thankfully, it looks like Rousey will be just fine. In fact, after the procedure, she returned to film the rest of her scenes the next day and has already regained 50 percent range of motion in just a few days.

See the photo and Rousey’s statement below, but be warned: the photo is extremely graphic and not for the squeamish.

So the word is out I nearly lost my finger shooting @911onfox. Freak accident, first take of the day a boat door fell on my hand, I thought I just jammed my fingers so I finished the take before looking (I know it sounds crazy, but I’m used to live audiences and never showing pain unless I’m supposed to) after a break in the action I told our director the situation and was rushed via ambulance to the hospital where they promptly reattached my bone and tendon with a plate and screws. I returned to filming the next day and finished my scenes before returning home to recover. Modern medicine amazes me, I already had 50% range of motion back in 3 days. There’s so much more than I can write here, stayed tuned via @rondarouseydotcom for the full story. And of course tune in to see how well I can act like my finger didn’t just fall off in this upcoming season of @911onfox
