Did Ronda Rousey Quietly Retire From Acting?
In 2021, Ronda Rousey's life is drastically different in comparison to what it once was. Rousey at one point, was on the top of her game, not only dominating her opponents inside the octagon but forging quite the film career, appearing in franchises like 'The Fast and Furious'.
Suddenly, projects started to subside, and she was taking on TV roles, which as we'll assess later, would also end in tough circumstances.
However, despite going MIA from Hollywood, she seems more than content these days, living life off the map. We'll take a look at her current circumstances these days while also examining whether or not her film career is done with.
Ronda Rousey Signed A Huge Three-Film Deal With Lifetime In 2016
At the start, it seemed as though Ronda Rousey was in for a promising career. She decided to leave the UFC for good, branching off into the entertainment world. She got a huge deal according to Deadline alongside Lifetime, for a three-picture deal with the network.
Not only that but Rousey was also well on her way to both fame and success, having appeared in films like 'The Expendables 3', 'Furious 7', 'Mile 22' and 'Charlie's Angels'. Each film was flanked alongside some of Hollywood's biggest stars like Vin Diesel, Mark Wahlberg, Sylvester Stallone, and so many others.
Ultimately, it seemed as though Rousey had a better time as a sports entertainer, joining Vince McMahon and the WWE. Rousey found some major success with the company, thriving in the new spot.
It would set her acting career back, along with another gruesome moment that took place on the set of '9-1-1' on FOX.
Ronda Rousey Underwent A Horrible Accident On 9-1-1
We're not quite sure if Hollywood soured on Ronda Rousey but in 2019, she was taking on film projects, completely switching focus and appearing as a regular on the hit series, '9-1-1' on FOX.
Although she was more than content in the role, things took a turn for the worst, when she suffered a horrible injury on-set, nearly losing her entire finger. She revealed the graphic details back in August of 2019.
"So the word is out I nearly lost my finger shooting. Freak accident, first take of the day a boat door fell on my hand, I thought I just jammed my fingers so I finished the take before looking (I know it sounds crazy, but I’m used to live audiences and never showing pain unless I’m supposed to) after a break in the action I told our director the situation and was rushed via ambulance to the hospital where they promptly reattached my bone and tendon with a plate and screws."
"I returned to filming the next day and finished my scenes before returning home to recover. Modern medicine amazes me, I already had 50% range of motion back in 3 days. There’s so much more than I can write here, stayed tuned via @rondarouseydotcom for the full story. And of course, tune in to see how well I can act like my finger didn’t just fall off in this upcoming season of @911onfox."
That's right, despite the terrible injury, she continued on, though, in truth, her career was never the same shortly after.
Ronda Rousey Is Currently Off The Map Enjoying The Family Life
Shortly after, Ronda Rousey basically went off the map. She stopped taking acting gigs and the former UFC star would also put her career as a sports entertainer on the backburner as well.
So why did she do this? Two reasons, one, she wanted to live a quiet life out on a ranch, away from the spotlight. In addition, it was a goal of hers to start a family, something she is currently enjoying.
it remains to be seen if she'll ever return to films, what we do know is that at the moment, she's doing her very best to empower others on motherhood, especially when it comes to breastfeeding.
"Our boys asked me the other day how I’m gonna feed Pō on the plane when we take her with us to Hawaii. And I was like “uhhh, same way I always do” 🤷🏼♀️Then it occurred to me that they probably never seen anyone breastfeed before and weren’t sure if it was appropriate in public."
"Motherhood’s some badass, primal, beautiful shit that shouldn’t be hidden.
It still blows my mind that my body assembled this little person, pushed her out, and now makes everything she needs to thrive It’s really nothing to be ashamed of, it’s something to brag about."
Good on Rousey for keeping things completely transparent.
