Hollywood makeup artist Allie Shehorn stabbed more than 20 times

Special effects makeup artist Allie Shehorn is on a long road to recovery after a violent attack.

The 35-year-old, whose credits include 2022 Babylon and 2024 mean girls— was stabbed more than 20 times at her Los Angeles home on May 23, according to her friends.

“This is not the kind of thing that should happen to anyone,” Christine White, who described herself as Shehorn’s surrogate mother, told KTLA. “You don’t think this will ever happen to you.”

White said she was staying with Shehorn when the stabbing occurred. The brutal incident left Shehorn with injuries to his arms, neck and abdomen.

“I found her and had to go to the room where it happened,” White said. “It wasn’t a pretty sight.”

E! News reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department for comment but has not received a response. However, law enforcement confirmed to Los Angeles Times that a stabbing took place in the Shadow Hills neighborhood just after 4:30 a.m. on May 23, although the alleged attacker fled before police arrived on the scene.
