Sadie Solstice Was Almost Killed By her Ex-boyfriend

September 8, 2023·1 hr 35 min·5 clips

Brittany Ransom opens with a trigger warning. She says the conversation covers strong language, domestic violence, sexual assault, and the aftermath of a nearly fatal attack, and she gives listeners a chance to step away before the interview begins. Sadie Solstice joins the show. Ransom introduces her as a lifestyle brand owner and model some listeners may have seen talking about the attack on TikTok, and the conversation quickly moves from that public layer to the harder private details underneath. Sadie was 18 when her ex-boyfriend attacked her. She describes being stabbed across her body, including injuries to her leg, arm, neck, abdomen, back, and lung, and she walks through how those wounds turned into a long medical recovery. The lung injury was monitored. She says a tube was placed in her lung, she spent three days in the hospital to make sure it reinflated properly, and the outcome was lucky compared with what could have happened. Her hand needed specialist care. The hand wounds were stitched at first, but later surgery had to find severed tendons and nerves, reattach them, and restore enough function for her to regain feeling, even if strength never fully came back. The scars remain. She notes that the marks on her hand are from surgery rather than the stab wounds themselves, and she describes ongoing discomfort with everyday tasks like washing dishes. Ransom asks direct questions and lets Sadie explain what the attack felt like, what treatment followed, and what has stayed with her years later. A tattoo becomes part of the story. Sadie mentions a knife tattoo near one of the stab wounds on her leg and says her best friend, who is a tattoo artist, drew it. The conversation keeps its focus. Sadie says she wants her story to help other domestic violence survivors recognize danger, make a plan, and get out of abusive relationships before the harm escalates further. The ending stays practical. Ransom closes by giving Sadie space to share her social handles so listeners can find her after the interview ends.
