The article says her husband revealed it, but Tina was also there for the interview.
So, some stranger randomly cut her with a knife in her front yard when she was five, ad she didn’t even realize she had been cut at first. I’d expected it to be worse than that, the way she had been talking about it before.
I heard her say once that she doesn’t talk about it because it upsets her parents, so me being so cynical, thought it happened through their negligence.
I could see not wanting to discuss a stranger stabbing your 5 year old.
Now that the “truth” is out, I swear I heard someone (maybe even Fey herself) mention this as the reason for the scar a few years ago.
Maybe it was just a good guess on the part of whoever said it, but I always kind of assumed it involved her getting cut with a knife through some kind of event like that.
All I had read was that it happened in her front yard and she didn’t like to talk about it. I just assumed a dog had bitten her, or she had fallen on a nail or something…but to have some wild stranger stab you in the face with a knife!?!
Geez, I wouldn’t want to chat about that very much either.
Well la-di-dah! When I was a lad we coudn’t just swan about knifing ourselves in the face whenever we felt like it. Must have been nice to be YOU - having knives growing off the trees all over the place!! We had to dig in the soil, smelt our own ingots and then flie the ingots down with a bare nails before we could enjoy the luxury of stabbing ourselves in the face.
You should be aware that for most of history, females did not have the right to stab themselves in the face. Our hard-won freedoms are not suitable for jokes. Shame on you.
