Fans of Orange is the New Black and Pitch Perfect 3 got a bit of shock on Thursday when androgynous star Ruby Rose took to Twitter to post a pic of herself in a wheelchair.
The Australian model, DJ, and actress reassured fans that she’s okay:

Some Twitter users could relate:
I wish you a speedy recovery. I know how it feels to have a spine procedure. I was hit by a car and my spine was shattered so I had to have a cadaver vertebrae and spinal fusion done. Now I have rods and screws holding me together. Stay strong, Ruby!

One was glad to see her speaking about her disability, helping to lessen the stigma for others:
Hey, as one of many disabled folks who sometimes wears braces or needs other assistive devices, thanks for being open about this. It means a lot to have people see that assistive devices give folks autonomy and freedom to go about their day!
