Uma Thurman ‘broke a few bones’ after being thrown from a horse

Actress and Quentin Tarantino muse Uma Thurman broke some bones after being thrown from horse this week. Page Six reported that 46-year-old Uma, an avid equestrian, was seen being helped into a St. Barts restaurant by her kids. An eyewitness said she “looked like she had hip surgery.” Uma’s people confirmed that Uma was in an equestrian accident, saying “She was training on a young thoroughbred who got spooked. She was thrown and broke a few bones.” I’m glad too hear it was just a minor accident. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I can deal with losing anymore beloved entertainment figures this year.

Poor Uma’s had a rough go of it lately, not only getting ejected off of a horse, but suffering a sloppy, icky, boozy kiss at the hands of former Fiat CEO Lapo Elkann at last month’s Cannes Film Festival amfAR gala. But, looking at the positive, she does have some cute kids, especially her youngest, 3-year-old Rosalind. She posted a photo of her and her daughter decked out in their finest swim attire on Instagram a few months ago. What a cutie. She also recently sold her Gramercy Park, New York duplex for a reported $6.25 million. If you are a sucker for house p0rn, check out the pictures. I could just live in the bathroom.

And, speaking of Uma’s kids, her 17-year-old daughter Maya Hawke (Dad is Ethan) is gorgeous, and she definitely inherited her mother’s sense of style. She rocked a chic dress and slick bob haircut for her recent prom. I, on the other hand, went to prom in the 80s and had a gravity-defying updo and was enveloped in a billowing cloud of pink taffeta. Maya is off to Juilliard in the fall. Smart cookie.

Oh, and I’d be remiss in not sharing the pain of the song that has now gotten itself wedged in my brain while writing this post. The minute I typed “Uma Thurman” in Google, I got this video in my search results. Damn you, Fall Out Boy.

    She is looking regal and stately as she ages. Never fight time, work with it.

    Broke a few bones seems a rather casual way of putting it!

  3. Hejhej says:

    I really like Uma and I’m glad she’s ok. Whenever I hear about riding accidents I always think of Christopher Reeve 🙁

    Yikes! I just got on a horse for the first time in two years yesterday. Horses were my life for my whole life, but after my horse died in 2011 things changed, I started having babies and just got away from it. Yesterday was the start of me getting back to horses, but it does cross my mind the dangers. Occasionally. I never thought about it before, but I didn’t have kids. Thankfully this horse is very trained and calm, and worrying about getting hurt didn’t even come up. But it does happen sometimes, even when you know what you’re doing. Poor Uma!

    Hope she’s okay! Sounds like it hurt.

    That second picture makes me want to wear black velvet and emeralds every day for the rest of my life. Simply gorgeous!!

  7. Rae says:

    I love horses, but there is always a risk.

    I didn’t realise Uma was a rider, she’s gone up in my books just for that!

    Corey we will have to fight for that bathroom. I will hold myself hostage in that bathroom. It is perfection. I can shower in the middle of the floor. I will then soak in the tub in some lavender confection FOREVER. I made lavender bath scrub which I shall now shower with and retire to soak in lavender scented water and pretend I’m in that perfect, perfect, gorgeous room.
