"The Big Bang Theory" star was slammed in January when she showed up to the ceremony with bangs.

(Reviews called her hair "far from bangin'" and compared it to helmet hair.)

Last night, she appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and explained to the late-night host she wore fake bangs to hide a black eye and six stitches received on set of "The Big Bang Theory."

According to Cuoco, she received the injury from co-star Johnny Galecki while attempting to pull a prank on the show's crew for the gag reel.

"Johnny and I decided, now that we have the scene, let's do a prank where he actually fake punches me, and I go flying out of frame," shared Cuoco.

The punch ended up being real, leaving the actress bleeding on set; however, she had no clue she was really injured.

"They [the crew] thought I went under [the table] and sprayed blood on my face," said Cuoco. "I had cracked my head open and I had blood squirting down my face. I didn't even know. I had no idea."

When it came time for the SAG awards, Cuoco decided to cover up with fake bangs.

"I wanted to wear them because it covered my eye and I was really insecure about this huge black eye," said Cuoco. "These bangs who I've named Bev almost ruined my entire career."
