Charla Nash, the woman who was viscously attacked by a former friend’s pet chimpanzee on February 16, 2009, went on the Oprah show last week and revealed her deformed face to viewers. The result of the attack left Charla blind in both eyes and highly disfigured. Charla now has to wear a veil over her face in order not to frighten people.
At the moment, Charla’s family is suing Sandra Herold (the owner of the chimp) for $50 million in damages (presumably to cover some of the hospital costs).
