The Orange Is the New Black and Batwoman star posted a video showing herself slipping while walking near her swimming pool.

Sharing an update with fans, Rose wrote that she had gone "straight to hospital" following the accident and joked that her summer plans had been disrupted by the injury. She also explained that she is using a breathing device as part of her recovery after breaking the lower ribs on her right side.

The actress acknowledged the painful nature of the accident while maintaining a light-hearted tone in her posts. She also asked followers for book and television recommendations, noting that her recovery is expected to take several weeks.

Rose reflected on a previous injury she suffered while filming Batwoman in 2019, when she continued working despite breaking a rib and sustaining neck injuries. Looking back on the experience, she questioned her decision to return to set so quickly despite being in significant pain.

The latest injury marks another health setback for the Australian actress, who has previously spoken publicly about injuries sustained during filming throughout her career.

Neither Rose nor her representatives have provided additional medical updates beyond her social media posts. However, the actress indicated that she expects an extended recovery period before returning to her usual activities, assuring fans that she is focusing on rest and healing after the unexpected accident.
