In December 2016, while filming Ghostland, Hickson was told by director Pascal Laugier to bang her fists against a glass window and that it was safe to do so. The window then shattered and she fell on the glass, severely cutting the left side of her face. The wound required 70 stitches, which left her with permanent scarring. In 2018, Hickson sued the film's production company, Incident Productions, "seeking damages for lost income and future loss of income". In 2019, Incident Productions "pleaded guilty to failing to ensure the safety and welfare of a worker under the Workplace Safety and Health Act" and was fined $40,000 by the province of Manitoba for the incident.
She had a project come out in 2020, a series in which she plays a witch. The trailers don't show her scar, but she's turned so that you wouldn't see it in the poster. No idea when it was filmed.
I hope that she continues to get work. This is beyond messed up.

Must have been a seriously awful moment and recovery. The upside is she looks cool as hell. Hopefully shes alright.
