Charla Nash shows her face on Oprah (graphic video)
Charla Nash, the Connecticut woman who mauled by her friend’s 200-pound chimpanzee last February, revealed her horribly disfigured face on The Oprah Winfrey Show Wednesday… let us warn you about this article: it contains really graphic stuff.
Nash was critically injured on Feb. 16 when a chimpanzee owned by her friend, Sandra Herold, attacked her, ripping off her eyelids, nose and, lips. Police say Travis attacked Charla, when she arrived at Herold’s house to help lure the chimp back indoors. Earlier this year, Herold speculated that the chimp was being protective of her and attacked Nash because she had a different hairstyle, was driving a different car, and held a stuffed toy in front of his face to get his attention.
Charla is blind and has to eat through a straw, but the 55-year-old mother says she isn’t angry or in a pain — and she doesn’t want to remember the attack.
“I don’t even think about it,” Charla told Oprah. “And there’s no time for that anyways because I need to heal, you know, not look backwards.”
