Woman in chimp attack reveals disfigured face on Oprah show
London, Nov 12 : A woman who was mauled by a 200-pound chimpanzee has revealed her severely damaged face on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
Despite being blind and only able to eat through a straw, Charla Nash said she was not angry.
"I don''t even think about it," The Telegraph quoted her as saying on the show.
The talk show host removed Nash''s hat and veil to reveal her face, which was swollen and damaged beyond recognition.
She had a large scar near the bottom of her face and a large piece of skin where her nose had been.
The attack in February occurred when the animal''s owner, Sandra Herold, asked Nash, her friend and employee, to help lure the animal back into her house in Connecticut. Police shot and killed the animal.
The chimpanzee ripped off Nash''s hands, nose, lips and eyelids and she has been in hospital since.
She remains in stable condition at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Nash said she didn''t remember anything from the attack, and doesn''t want to.
"I want to get healthy. I don''t want to wake up with nightmares," she said. (ANI)
