Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn stabbed over 20 times by ex-boyfriend

Authorities have capture Shehorn's attacker at the Texas-Mexico border as he allegedly tried to flee the country.

Allie Shehorn, a respected makeup artist known for her work on films like Damien Chazelle’s "Babylon" and Zack Snyder’s "Rebel Moon," is currently recovering after a violent attack by her ex-boyfriend at her Los Angeles home on May 23.

According to reports from the Los Angeles Times, emergency services were called to the scene in the Shadow Hills area following reports of a stabbing at approximately 4:30 a.m. 

KTLA further reported that Shehorn was stabbed over 20 times and had recently sought legal protection against her assailant through a restraining order.

In the wake of this tragic incident, Shehorn's friends Emily MacDonald and Jed Dornoff have initiated a GoFundMe campaign to cover her escalating medical expenses. 

MacDonald's heartfelt message on the fundraiser page states, "Allie was stabbed multiple times by her ex-boyfriend" and is "in the hospital fighting for her life, in critical condition." She adds, "Allie is a remarkable person, full of warmth, kindness, and love."

The campaign updates reveal that after her second surgery on May 25, the medical team remains "cautiously optimistic," reporting Shehorn's condition as "very stable." 

Dornoff provided a positive update on May 26, noting that her breathing and feeding tubes were removed, and by May 27, authorities had captured her attacker as he allegedly attempted to flee the country at the Texas-Mexico border.

Further showing the community's support, Dornoff shared that Christine White, who he described as "like an adopted Mom who cares a lot about Allie," found Shehorn after the attack and played a crucial role in saving her life. 

"She is very brave and acted fast when she found Allie bleeding out. Thank you Christine for saving her life," he expressed.

Despite the severity of her injuries, MacDonald remains optimistic about Shehorn's recovery, stating that she will likely spend a month in the hospital but has maintained a positive spirit throughout her ordeal. "She’s been in really good spirits," 

MacDonald told KTLA. "I feel like she’s comforting all of us, which is kind of how Allie is. Even when she’s at rock bottom, she’s still looking to see how she can lift other people up."

Allie Shehorn's career, spanning over a decade, includes significant contributions to other films like "Mean Girls," "Family Switch," and "Fall."
