Evangeline Lilly has revealed something very personal and seemingly very troublesome to her fans and followers.
The veteran actress posted on social media this week she has brain damage after suffering a concussion last year when she fell into a boulder.
“I’m entering into this new year, the Year of the Horse, with some bad news about my concussion,” the Marvel star said in an Instagram video.
“A lot of you asked how I’m doing. A lot of you have inquired about the brain scans that you heard I got. And the results came back from the scans [and] showed that almost every area in my brain is functioning at a decreased capacity.”
Lilly is best known for her roles on ABC’s Lost and in the Ant-Man movie franchise.
She said in a Substack post back in May that she had “fainted at the beach. And fell face first into a boulder,” adding at the time that she has experienced “fainting spells since I was a little girl.”
In this new update, Lily explained that “my job is to get to the bottom of that with doctors and then embark on the hard work of fixing it, which I don’t look forward to because I feel like hard work is all I do.
“But that’s okay. My cognitive decline since I smashed my face open has helped me to slow down and helped me to have a more restful finish to my 2025.”
Lilly wrote in the caption to her post:
“Verdict’s in… I do have brain damage from my [traumatic brain injury]. Comforting to know my cognitive decline isn’t just peri-menopause, discomforting to know what an uphill battle it will be to try to reverse the deficiencies. Thank you all for always asking, for always caring, and for your continued prayers.”
Aside from her aforementioned roles, the actress also played Tauriel in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy, appearing in the latter two films The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies.
“You are a warrior,” Lilly’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania co-star Michelle Pfeiffer remarked under her friend’s post, adding a heart emoji and writing: “Nothing — not even this will defeat you my friend.”
In a social media post last June, Lilly said she was taking a break from acting for the foreseeable future and wrote:
“Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment. I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong.”

We have tragic news to report out of Hollywood today:
Jayne Trcka — the bodybuilder and actress best known for her work in the 2000 comedy Scary Movie — has passed away.
She was just 62 years old.
Trcka died unexpectedly at home, insiders say
News of Trcka’s death comes courtesy of her son, who tells TMZ that his mother passed away at her home in San Diego on December 12.
A friend tells the outlet that she became concerned when she called Jayne several times and received no response.
The friend called 911 and requested a welfare check, and police discovered Jayne’s body.
Authorities report that Trcka’s cause of death is still unknown, pending the results of a medical examiner’s investigation.
Though most famous for her role as the gym teacher Miss Mann in Scary Movie, Trcka also appeared in several other high-profile projects.
The popularity of Scary Movie — a cult classic that launched an entire franchise — led to Jayne making appearances in popular TV series The Drew Carey Show and Whose Line is it Anyway?
Jayne was also a bodybuilder who appeared in several fitness magazines, including Flex, MuscleMag International, and Women’s Physique World.
Across social media, fans are remembering Trcka for her comic timing, as well as for her abilities as an athlete.
“Remembering the strong Miss Mann, not just a role, but an inspiration in fitness and comedy,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“From Miss Mann to bodybuilding icon… her legacy lives on,” another added.
Our thoughts go out to Jayne Trcka’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
We will have further information on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Heather Thompson is dead alongside three members of her family.
All four died by violence in a very short span of time.
Authorities are investigating the deaths of Thompson, her two young sons, and her grandmother as a triple-murder suicide.
Investigators still consider this to be an open case — and are asking the public for information. The boys’ father is publicly sharing his grief.
Tragedy in small town America
On Friday, January 2, the Humphreys County Sheriff’s conducted a welfare check in the small town of Waverly, Tennessee.
There, authorities made a grim discovery of four bodies.
Two were women. Two were young boys.
One of the women was Heather Thompson, a 32-year-old nurse. The other woman was her 88-year-old grandmother, Evelyn Johnson.
The boys were Thompson’s sons, 13-year-old Isiah Johnson and 4-year-old Arius Johnson.
All four had apparently died from gunshot wounds.
Authorities are investigating cause of death, which is sometimes not as simple as it appears.
However, from the initial investigation — that is, police investigating the scene — authorities believe that Heather Thompson was the shooter.
They believe that she shot her sons, her grandmother, and then herself. There is no indication of any suspected motive.
Both the Sheriff’s Office and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation are treating this tragedy as an open investigation.
Authorities are still piecing together what may have happened
Family annihilators are a type of killer who, as it says in the name, eliminate their own family members.
The most stereotypical example if this is a man who either believes that he has failed his family or that his family is unworthy or holding him back, so he then kills his wife or girlfriend and their children.
Sometimes, it begins with a single incident — domestic violence that turns fatal, and then eliminating witnesses.
Other times, the family annihilator plans these murders in advance.
There are documented cases of these killings going back throughout recorded history, with some immortalized in legends or even religious narratives.
With so little information available, it is difficult to determine whether this horrific crime is the work of a family annihilator — or simply appears like one.
Authorities have noted that they have found no instances of domestic violence calls from the house.
(As countless survivors know, that does not mean that domestic violence never took place at the home)
Additionally, Biah Thompson, the reported father of the boys, resides in Arizona.
When the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Department wrote about the crime scene in a January 2 Facebook post, Thompson commented.
Their loved ones are experiencing unimaginable grief
“I miss my sons already,” he wrote. “Daddy still loves you. Sorry I was at work.”
That is certainly heartbreaking.
Reportedly, Biah Thompson works at a Subway. It is unclear if these reports are up-to-date.
Investigators are still looking into this crime, and ask anyone with information relevant to these tragic deaths to come forward.
Our hearts go out to all of the family’s surviving loved ones. Perhaps authorities will be able to provide the answers that they need.

This is a different kind of mom-shaming.
Ashley Tisdale is calling out a “toxic” mom group including the likes of Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor, and Mandy Moore.
People who were supposed to be her social circleinstead made her feel like a bullied high schooler at the age of 40.
But she cut ties with the not-so-supportive group, and soon learned that she’s not the only one who felt the cold shoulder of the “mean girls.”
Sometimes, new moms want a social circle that understands exactly how they’re feeling
Tisdale, who rose to fame as a teenager and young adult as a Disney Channel star and a singer, first wrote about leaving her “mom group” on a more personal blog.
“Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group” is a more confrontational take, but that’s the title of her The Cut essay in which she details the process.
The process began, Tisdale shared, when she found what she believed was a group of like-minded moms in similar circumstances.
“I needed to talk to someone else who related to what I was going through,” she explained.
“The mood swings, the late nights, saying good-bye to who I used to be,” Tisdale listed. “And getting to know my daughter and the new person I was becoming.”
“During the early days of the group, there was another mom who often wasn’t included,” Tisdale recalled in her essay.
She admitted: “I’d picked up on hints of a weird dynamic, but at the time, I didn’t dwell on it too much.”
Tisdale observed: “Now it seemed that this group had a pattern of leaving someone out. And that someone had become me.”
This, she wrote, led to eerily familiar self-doubts: “Here I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed, thinking, Maybe I’m not cool enough?”
Tisdale reflected: “All of a sudden, I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing ‘wrong’ to be left out.”
Being a mom at 40 should never make you feel like a teenager
To be clear, Tisdale is a 40-year-old woman. Even if she were not very famous, this would be a strange way for her to feel.
“I texted to the group after being left out from yet another group hang,” she revealed, after listing numerous incidents of exclusion and seemingly accidental oversights.
“This is too high school for me,” she wrote to them. “And I don’t want to take part in it anymore.”
Unfortunately, Tisdale shared: “It didn’t exactly go over well.”
The efforts to apologize or win her over fell flat, she explained.
To Tisdale’s judgment, some of the moms seemed to feel bad about how she was feeling. But not enough to change things — and not enough to have missed her when the group met without her.
“To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people,” Tisdale assured, before slyly adding: “(Maybe one.)”
She continued: “But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive — for me, anyway.”
After she first began speaking on the topic, she shared, she has heard “feedback” from other moms.
Tisdale wrote: ‘I now know I’m far from the only mother who’s been brought to tears by members of a group that’s supposed to lift everyone up.”
She also admitted that some called her “brave,” which puzzled her. What, she wondered, does she have to fear?
‘It’s not the right group for you’
“You deserve to go through motherhood with people who actually, you know, like you,” Tisdale affirmed.
(Not to distract from the point, but this applies to most things — your friends, your partner, family gatherings, and more)
“And if you have to wonder if they do, here’s the hard-earned lesson I hope you’ll take to heart,” she expressed.
Tisdale wrote: “It’s not the right group for you. Even if it looks like they’re having the best time on Instagram.”
Ultimately, she did not choose to name-drop anyone. But while Tisdale follows Meghan Trainor, she is no longer following Hilary Duff or Mandy Moore on that platform.
