Celebrity Big Brother star Courtney Stodden was rushed to hospital after a bloody accident that required brain scans. The 31-year-old media personality shared a video of themselves in the passenger seat of a car with a blood-soaked face and chest, recounting how they dropped their phone and hit their head on a counter edge.
Details of the Incident
In the video, Stodden explained that they were moving too fast to grab their phone and ended up with a gash on their head. They urged followers: 'Don't bend and snap… slow down.' The former reality star said they went to the emergency room where the wound was glued shut. They added: 'Nothing glamorous about moving too fast just to grab something that doesn't matter. Slow down. Your body keeps the score.'
Medical Evaluation
Stodden revealed in the comments that they underwent a CT scan to check for a brain bleed. They wrote: 'Got a ct scan, no brain bleed I'm okay just a hard hit… reminder to slow down. Life will literally make you if you don't.' In the video, they are teary-eyed, dabbing a blood-stained napkin on the wound, and show a fire truck driving away, saying: 'There goes the firetruck. They're like: "We're not dealing with you."'
