High Potential’s Kaitlin Olson’s horrific accident that resulted in facial reconstruction: ‘I just wanted to hide’

Years before Kaitlin Olson was a familiar face on TV, she had an accident that left her needing serious medical attention.

The High Potential actress previously detailed what happened to her when she explained the “doozy” which resulted in her face and skull being reconstructed.

Kaitlin had a bicycle accident at the age of 12 that she described as “really, really bad.”

“Yeah, that was a doozy,” she told Glamour. “I still have a hole in my head. It was the size of a lime. Now it’s the size of a quarter. It was bad. I had my head shaved, and this was all going into junior high school. I also smashed my face and had to have surgery. It was bad, it was really, really bad.”

Kailtin suffered bullying due to her recovery at such an awkward phase in her life. “No 12 or 13-year-old girl wants to walk into her first day of junior high with a swollen face and a shaved head and a [huge] scar. It was bad.”

Kaitlin’s recovery wasn’t helped by the fact she was an introvert in the playground.
