People questioned the validity of her accident story, and she became a victim of plastic surgery rumors. But that was not the only theory fans had come up with regarding the cause of her accident.
Another one of the theories claimed Underwood was a victim of domestic abuse. They explained that forty stitches from a simple fall down the stairs seemed far-fetched.
“How do we know Carrie Underwood ‘fell’ and this wasn’t abuse by someone else? The whole thing seems fishy to me,” a netizen tweeted.
“I’ve seen videos of mega car crashes and the driver walk away from it fine. Meanwhile, Carrie Underwood has 50 stitches from falling. Either the world is being its usual weird self or we’re about 2 years away from an expose on domestic abuse in the Underwood household.” tweeted another.
Meanwhile, a third user stated she was suspicious because she, too, had gotten a handful of stitches on her face, and the scar was noticeable even after many years while Underwood looked flawless.
Some fans also criticized Underwood for continuously teasing the situation with her questionable selfies, such as one with a mouth hidden with a red X.
They noted the songstress should address the situation head-on instead of “seeking attention.”
