Ruth Codd, known for her captivating presence on "Celebrity Traitors," recently underwent a second leg amputation. This life-altering decision comes nearly ten years after a sports injury that changed the course of her life. Codd, who first caught the public's eye with her TikTok videos, has been open about her journey, sharing intimate details with her followers.
Codd's ordeal began at the tender age of 15 when a soccer mishap led to a severe foot injury. Despite numerous surgeries, the pain persisted, culminating in her first amputation at 23. Reflecting on those challenging years, she told Teen Vogue in 2022, “I got injured at 15, and I didn’t get my leg amputated until I was 23. So, those eight years were operation after operation, and, sometimes they kind of worked for a while, and then I’d end up back on crutches.” Her story is a testament to resilience – learning early on that life can take unexpected turns.
Recently, Codd took to TikTok to update her fans about her second amputation. "Good news, we’ve had a full-circle moment. I’m back making TikTok content in my parents’ house. Bad news, I can’t do it upstairs, because I’ve just had my second below-knee amputation," she shared, demonstrating her trademark humor and optimism.
Despite these personal hurdles, Codd's career continues to soar. Her talent landed her roles in Netflix’s “The Midnight Club” and the live-action adaptation of “How to Train Your Dragon.” Her journey from TikTok fame to the big screen is a source of inspiration for many, proving that challenges can indeed be stepping stones to success.
With her indomitable spirit, Ruth Codd remains a beacon of hope and perseverance, showing that even in the face of adversity, one can rise and shine.
