Evangeline Lilly Says Brain Scans Confirm Widespread Injury From 2025 Head Trauma

She outlines a plan to probe contributing causes with doctors, focusing on rest and rehabilitation.

Overview

  • In a new Instagram video, Lilly says scans show reduced function across nearly every region of her brain.
  • She reports a diagnosed brain injury linked to last year’s traumatic skull and brain trauma, noting other factors may also be involved.
  • The injury stems from a May 2025 incident in Hawaii when she fainted on a beach and fell face-first onto a rock, leading to hospitalization.
  • Since the accident she has described worsening cognitive problems, including memory gaps, difficulty concentrating and word-finding issues.
  • Lilly, who stepped back from Hollywood in 2024, says she will keep her pace slow and work with medical teams on recovery.
