The Rumors about Her Eye Injury:

Eye Injury Rumors: Did Eva Birthistle Really Lose an Eye?

It all started with Eva Birthistle’s show ‘Bad Sisters‘. In the plot of the show, specifically in Episode 5, the character Bibi loses an eye in a car crash and then later wears an eye patch to cover her lost eye. Although this wasn’t a real car crash, and was just part of the show’s story, some people on forums started misinterpreting it as a real world incident.

Here is where the confusion began: Bibi is played by actress Sarah Greene, not Eva Birthistle. However, since both of them are prominent Irish actresses in the same show, many viewers mixed them up. While Reddit forums and other forum sites talked about the eye injury and eye patch of the actress in story terms, many readers who hadn’t watched the show, started thinking that it was a real-life accident involving Birthistle.

Adding fuel to the rumors was a post by Eva Birthistle. The actress posted an image of a child’s drawing of the character Bibi and wrote, “...the eye patch is spot on.”. While she was referring to the eye patch of her co-star’s character Bibi, some readers misread the post as a personal statement from the actress confirming a real injury of her eye.

Now several content farms, clickbait sites, took advantage of these fragments and started spreading various rumors. Some rumors claimed that Birthistle lost an eye in an on-set accident and that she underwent an eye surgery for it. Other forum pages even discussed that Birthistle already underwent an eye surgery and now uses a prosthetic glass eye.

That’s it….! Fake rumors started spreading like fire. People who weren’t much aware of the show, started sharing the screenshots of those rumor pages on social media and even reposting them in Reddit threads. Soon several people started believing that Eva Birthistle had actually lost an eye due to an accident and that she underwent an eye surgery for the same reason.

The Truth Behind the Rumors:

Although there are several speculative stories about Eva Birthistle’s eye injury, none of them are verified. Furthermore, there are no reputable news reports, verified content pieces or factual evidence confirming any eye injury or surgery.

More importantly, the actress herself has not issued any official statement or declaration about any injury. Even her own public post on X, actually reinforces the link to the show: (she clearly used the hashtag #BadSisters), which indeed is a direct confirmation that the eye-patch is an aspect of the role of her co-star, and not a disclosure about her personal health or injury.

Just think.. If there was ever an accident at the sets of the show or if there was ever a real eye injury to any actress, it would very likely have been reported by major news publications. We scanned the entire news channels, their websites, and found no mention of any medical incident or injury. Even major interviews with the actress (about the show) made no reference to a real-life injury whatsoever, which further indicates the eye patch is a fictional plot element in Bad Sisters.

So, with no official statement from the actress and no verified factual evidence, we can conclude that the claims about her eye injury or eye surgery are merely rumors – not reality.
