‘Catfish’ Host Nev Schulman Details Injuries From Bike Accident

Nev Schulman revealed that he broke his neck on Saturday after he was in an accident involving his bike and a vehicle earlier in the week.

“I’m lucky to be here, alive, standing and hugging my family, projected to make a full recovery,” Schulman wrote in an Instagram caption.

“And I’m really starting to understand the meaning of gratitude. For the big and little things before the accident, and now everything moving forward.”

The “Catfish” host and producer, in the lengthy post, wrote that he intended to pick up his son from school on his bike before he found himself “alone on impact” by a truck on Monday.

“I was alone and unconscious. And then conscious. Maybe I was fine (I wasn’t). Maybe I can still do my long run on Thursday (I couldn’t),” Schulman wrote.

Schulman added that he suffered stable fractures in his neck but was “not paralyzed” in the accident.

“My hands were a question mark there for a minute but the human body is incredible and so are HUMANS. The incredible knowledge and care from everyone in the medical community has been so remarkable,” Schulman wrote.

He continued, “Starting with the EMS and on to the Southampton Emergency Room and the Stony Brook ICU. It’s hard to feel sorry for myself when I hear from the doctors about how many people with similar injuries will never walk again.”

The “Catfish” host shared a number of photos in the post including pictures of him wearing a neck brace while in a hospital bed, x-rays of his neck and a photo of him smiling alongside his wife Laura Perlongo.

Schulman and Perlongo, who got married in 2017, share three children together including their daughter Cleo James as well as their sons Beau Bobby Bruce and Cy Monroe.

One clip shows Schulman hugging his children while wearing a neck brace at the hospital.

Schulman noted that he went on an “incredible” and “magical” fishing trip last Sunday, just one day before the accident. He called the outing a “day full of love and wonder,” as well, only to find that the next day was nothing “like that.”

“Monday was a day where I learned what ‘before the accident’ really means,” he wrote. “And Monday gave weight to just how lucky I was to have Sunday. It’s true what they say – life can change in an instant.”

Schulman, later in the Instagram caption, wrote that he hadn’t planned on fishing last weekend and while his “instinct” was to say no to “scramble-planning a day trip,” he’s now glad he said yes.
