Christy Carlson Romano is speaking out about nearly losing an eye after she was shot in the face four months ago.
During an appearance on the upcoming June 10 episode of the “Not a Damn Chance!” podcast, via a sneak peek by People magazine, the 41-year-old former Disney star recalled the terrifying incident while she was shooting clay pigeons with her husband, Brendan Rooney, for his birthday.
Asked how it happened, Romano explained she was not “at liberty to say specifics,” according to People. The actress previously revealed on Instagram that she was “hit in five places,” including below her eye.
Romano shared details for the first time about what transpired.
“It’s a birdshot that got sprayed in my direction by another party, and essentially it was within 200 feet, which means really fast and hot,” she told hosts Neen Williams and Frankland Lee.

People reported more details on the story:
“They weren’t malicious. It wasn’t aggravated assault. It’s what happened,” she said, stressing that gun safety is important. “I feel very out of body about it… it’s pretty wild.”
Romano then detailed the frightening incident and how she felt immediately after realizing she’d been shot.
“I’m shocked and what goes through my head immediately is, ‘Oh that’s dope, I just got shot.’ And then I go, ‘Oh now I’m gonna die,’ I take a knee. My husband witnessed it and was like ‘Hey are you hit?’ because I didn’t scream. I didn’t do anything. I was just out of body.”
Romano said it felt like she was back on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. During her time on season 3 of the series, she said the cast was told to give a thumbs up if everything was okay during the challenges. She eventually got so used to doing it that she gave her husband a thumbs up after she was shot.
“He was like ‘Oh, you’re good.’ And I was like ‘No I’m hit.’ He goes, ‘Oh s—,’” the Even Stevens and Kim Possible star recalled. “So he’s running to me and making sure I’m okay and he’s fighting the urge to hurt the person…but he’s been practicing stoicism recently and there was something in him. He was immediately into action mode, evaluating me, and ran to get the car.”
