Betty Gilpin Shares Story of When She Got Jumped By Group of Girls In NYC

Betty Gilpin has shared quite the story about a time when she got jumped in New York City.

The 34-year-old actress opened up about how her resting walking face landed her in some trouble during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

See what she said inside…

While speaking with Jimmy Kimmel, Betty was talking about living in New York and wandering around “high as balls. There was a lot of stoned walks.”

“I have this problem where I can’t control my face. I think that I’m giving the face of what I feel constantly inside, which is like, ‘Sorry, sorry, sorry, thank you,’” she said. “But instead, my face is doing, ‘I’m gonna kill your pets.’”

“So I was giving that face on these high as balls walks and there was this group of girls who I would always pass, who sat on a stoop near my apartment,” Betty continued. “They were sitting presumably across from their school on their lunch, and I would just always give them accidental, ‘I’m gonna kill your pets,’ face, and I could just feel their anger and hatred for me rising and rising, until one day came to a head where I looked up and one of the girls said, ‘What are you looking at?’”

“I said, ‘I’m looking at you,’ in a way I thought was like, ‘Sister, I’m soil, savasana, I see you…’ But it didn’t come off that way apparently, and instead, it came off like, ‘I’m looking at you,’” she shared. “And they as a group, the five of them, rose like the dead bodies, the white walker bodies in the Jon Snow battle, and encircled me.”

“This is where it gets dark… I got jumped, no brag, they totally knocked me to the ground, punched me, kicked me in the stomach. I was sobbing, New Yorkers just literally stepping over me, and then I did something that Tony Soprano would not be proud of. I was like, ‘I’m gonna tell on them,’ because they have to be stopped.”

“So I marched across the street to this school and went inside. I couldn’t breathe I was crying so hard, all disheveled, and I said to the woman at the front desk. Picture like a Margot Martindale type,” Betty said. “I was like, ‘A group of your students just assaulted me, they pushed me to the ground, they kicked me, they are dangerous and they need to be stopped.’ This woman put her hand on her chin and looked me, and I just saw her whole life go through her face, and she said five words that changed my life forever.”

“She said, ‘Honey, this is a preschool.’”
