My Acid Survivor Story: Betrayed By A Friend
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- In 2012 Naomi Oni was attacked with sulphuric acid after being stalked through London by someone disguised in a niqab. Since 2012 acid attacks have doubled in the UK. Now two acid attacks are carried out in the UK every single day, with 450 occurring each year in London alone.
Known as ‘Face Melters’, corrosive liquids have replaced knives as the weapon of choice for gangs and others wanting to inflict maximum damage on their unsuspecting victims.
The physical and psychological effects of these attacks are devastating. In an instant, a victim’s life is irreversibly transformed, as are the lives of their family, children and partners.
This powerful BBC Three film reveals the story behind one of the most shocking and bizarre acid attacks of recent years. It’s a twisted story of betrayal and deceit. The film combines archive footage, and stylised recon with interviews with the victim, police, the medics who continue to treat her, and her family and friends.

Imagine being born with such beauty that even an acid attack couldn’t take it away
Yes indeed.....this is a great comment..
I was thinking the same
That Part! 💯
Very well said
Couldn’t have said it better
"A jealous friend is worse than a friendly hidden enemy." There are red flags in friendships too!
Ain't they basically the same thing tho?
@@nah_. Lol nah cause you KNOW the enemy so you stay away from them rather than thinking that someone's got your back when they don't...
@katelynn stewart Exactly!
@@lungienxumalo3244 but you said friendly *hidden* enemy
@@nah_. Enemies are never on your side/circle (you know that the're your enemy even if they act friendly) so that's why they're considered better than pretentious people who are close to you, you just never know when your fake friend might strike. Think about it.
Imagine being so pretty that you still look better than your friend even after they threw acid at you. Oh wait, no need to imagine, we have someone here.
Yes, she's beautiful !
Amen to that
Lol poor thing full of jealousy
She is pretty. Ya'll be safe out there.
Yall thirsty dudes think every woman is pretty...
Her ex-friend tried to take her beauty away- but looks like she failed. She’s still beautiful 😍. In all seriousness, please make these acids hard to purchase.
Not not her boyfriend her best friend throw the acid
yess these acids need to be out of people reach and for goverment use only
@@elijahmcdonald543 thats what the comment said "ex friend "
@@highoffnanii that's taking it too far
@@TiTi-pm4my no its not or it could be used by proffesionals only
This is exactly why they say a fake friend is 100x worse than an enemy.
I agree
Good saying I never heard that.
I don't have any friends, which i guess could work in this situation
Is ok to have friends or people to talk to-just don't trust them....
Lol
Most people are fake ,so if someone is fake to you ---- you be fake to them too ..but if you don't really like them...just don't talk to them😂 or be distant..
I’m glad her eyes are fine and she didn’t lose her sight
@B Rovćanin I’m not from Pakistan
@B Rovćanin lol?not every muslims live in pakistan bro🤦🏾♂️
@B Rovćanin in Serbia more shit happens .. you look at your own country before you blame and generalise a whole country or Muslims 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤮go educate yourself villager !
@B Rovćanin lol
Exactly what I was thinking
People who throw acid at others should be given a life sentence in jail.
No, they should have acid thrown all over their entire body and then released. Eye for an eye. Cheaper for taxpayers.
Yes full without parol.
For real how bout being buried alive with an acid pool they deserve to die. They aren’t humans they’re even worse than enemies. They’re devils
No no a death sentence
Put on electric chair
This poor woman. I wanted to reach through the screen, wipe off her tears, and give her a hug. What a beautiful soul. She’s absolutely gorgeous in ever way.
I can feel the pain and empathy you’re expressing. It’s heartbreaking to see someone go through such a difficult journey, but her strength and beauty shine through in ways that words can't fully capture. It’s amazing how people like her can still radiate such kindness and resilience. Have you ever encountered someone in your life who faced hardships but inspired you with their strength?
She is still beautiful. Jealous people are very dangerous. I don't want them around me.
T McReynolds,
🤣🤣🤣🤣
T McReynolds even me my dear. They are very dangerous
Exactly she’s still really pretty
Indeed that's why I carry my licensed gun. I wish a dude or a lady would touch me!
Amen sister
Despite having a jealous friend she is still radiant and glowing. Yasss sis she's a real beauty shining inside and out.
Right!! Like how she look that beautiful?? She is so BLESSED!!! Wait I know why, she’s beautiful from the inside so it’s definitely gonna show on the outside ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You see evil people can not take away a child of God’s shine .....
Aaaaamen, I was thinking the same thing! She's still so beautiful and I can tell her heart is just as beautiful indeed🙏🏾💜😇🦋
Honstly id kill them point blank... you don’t do this someone.....
she still beautiful 🤩
Despite the scars, she is still beautiful and brave.
That’s so so sad for them that even after that she’s still way more beautiful then them
Very Beautiful
Absolutely Beautiful. Her friend had to have been jealous of her.
fr. at first its very noticeable, but after a few minutes, it looks like nothing happened
Yes love she is still very beautiful
the picture of her in the hospital is so scary. Nobody deserves this I wouldn’t wish this on anybody. I am glad she’s alright now
And she still looks better than her "friend-enemy" jealous devil. Just sick
I call them frienemy, dirty mind people, they should of given mary life in prison
@@jamiebrumant2153 Exactly with her devious self
Its comments like that that hurts this world. Just stop it ... whats it gunna take to love each other.
@@andwhat8291 sorry can’t love evil.
This is the reason why stuff like this happens. Everybody beautiful in their own way.
Jealousy is really evil. Pay attention to people around. See who is genuinely happy when something good happens to u
So true
1000% true. And if a "friend" ever says that they will harm you in any way, let alone throw acid at you, STOP MESSING WITH THEM. Doesn't matter if they said it when they were angry. The truest things are said in anger and in jest. Don't associate with crazy people & your life will be much easier.
I totally agree with you
@Evet Lambert this. You really can’t trust anybody in this world
You may never even know who is happy for you cause people are good at pretending
How is she still so pretty even with acid burns!? Seems like her friend was jealous about it
They basically look the same...
@@mchammer8104 In one photo they did look very similar but either way my jealousy comment came from the friend's actions. Plus jealousy is a mind thing. You can be plain af but content and someone who isn't content will find a reason to be jealous
Yea. She's gorgeous.
Friend? Huh 🙄
@@mchammer8104 you're all over the comments. Hm. Fishy
I’ve actually STOPPED being friends with two women when I noticed jealousy because it’s dangerous and women will do some atrocities when they’re jealous. When you’re an unassuming person and don’t see yourself as this person who’s together or beautiful, that doesn’t mean others don’t see you as this fabulous person and want to ruin you. It’s sad….
Guys will also go to great lengths when jealous
@@raees2473 when a "feminist" gets silenced by a woman.
It is sad, same reason i have very few friends
@@raees2473 Not to other men. When men are jealous of each other they tend to resort to shaming the guy (in front of women) that is more attractive (he is a player, he doesn't know how to treat women, he has a small dick, he is gay etc.). The more attractive man tends to be the most dangerous man in the room, which is why less attractive men tend to go behind his back to talk shit. I assume that it is pretty much the same with women.
IMO Jealousy between men is far less common than between women. I have no problem seeing a brother winning.
Yeah, You might think that you're not special and you have nothing to be envied for, but poisonous insecure people will always find a reason to envy you, it's sad that we women do this to each other
My sister and I met Naomi in Asda one time, we gave her a hug and chatted for a bit...She's such a strong beautiful woman and I wish her all the best
Linda Okachi aw ❤
Isaiah D why would I lie ?
Isaiah D I’m not some people. It was in Asda in Old Kent Road 🙋🏾♀️
Linda Okachi if you met her then you did you don't have to prove yourself to nobody
Pauline Aimey why don’t u stfu?! She can state her comment I loved it. Go fuck off
She tried to make her “ugly” by throwing acid at her but it didn't make her any prettier. Not from the inside or out.
Facts!
Very true! But unfortunately misery loves company. And miserable people rather drag you down with them than put in the work to do better and elevate themselves.😒
The only ugly in this world is her fake friend
True , it's 2018 my birthday June 21 , I'm 22 years , start up my own business running with my friend , it's doing good for 2month, A lady who's good in money . Took our office on a minor reason . I invested 200000 indian rupees for that , I came up to 0 . We know she's not going to get anything by that , but she did it for her ego satisfaction as I challenged her about our startup success . Her pride , jealous and ego . She might have money and her family may have good name society . She got a dark heart . That never ever make her Happy , peaceful and satisfied no matter what her have ❤️ I literally pray for her recovery from her attitude and ugly mindset . The place our office it remain the same still❤️ glory to God I'm leading my business successfully ❤️ I may not have earthly Support . But have my god with me most powerful than anyone 🤗❤️
I thought it would? That's strange
My sister in law had the same thing happen to her. Her "boyfriend" did it. He's in prison now. She is disabled now because she's legally blind from the acid. You both are courageous women
What happened to your sister in law by a heartless no good for nothing idiot/coward is soo heartbreaking! I pray she is becoming stronger and stronger with each passing day!
@@Powerfulchange712 She is doing well. Amen to God. Thank you Debra

Does she live in Michigan?
@@outcoldwinter72573 Yes she does
Her skin might not be the same but she’s alive, gorgeous, beautiful bone structure. She has so much love to give. God bless.
This woman was never her friend. She's still beautiful despite the scarring.
It's true.

Thats why i dont have friends.
@@jasirransom5972 they aren't lying? Just because girls don't wanna go out with you doesn't mean you should insult everyone.

Smh
Bcuz she's that dump and only God did that ,made her sooooo confused (AMEN)

I'd love to think it's God and karma... I'm sure she had a lot of bags and yet she went with it, that's so good... served her right!
All I’m gonna say is people look at me like I’m crazy for cutting off people at the first sign of jealousy and stories like this are the main reason why. People will be in your face everyday and secretly hate you 😒
Facts on facts
And they throw shade but in a joke form my only friend is my wife.
I have a coworker like this but I highkey called her out on it so she knows I'm onto her.
💯 its terrifying what people are capable of
I learned this the hard way.
She still slays like wow
Lois Roberts right real beautiful
Lois Roberts facts
Yes,she is a beautiful and brave woman
Lois Roberts yes!! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!

I’m so glad she survived and she is well

She is still beautiful inside and outside. Nothing is stoping her she is resilient, strong and has the energy to move forward. Hope she and her family are doing fine.
"When people show you who they are, believe them the first time"
- Maya Angelou
Never keep people who are insecure around you. Ever. Run sis.
Awesome quote. Thanks for sharing.
But most people are insecure!! :(
Fafi xo INDEED!
Kul if you have *one truly genuine* friend then you are one of the lucky ones.
Know which friends to keep close and which ones to keep at a reasonable distance.
If you keep insecure people too close I 100% guarantee they will sabotage your life at some point when jealousy hits. They probably have already and you've just decided to ignore it because it was "minor".
Could not agree more.
It is very true these people show their true self always and we fail to see them.
It happened to us many times. I remember hearing somewhere after a recent incident that fool me once shame on you and fool me twice shame on me.
You not only have to believe in good people for their goodness but also believe that bad people like to do bad things.
But at the end we learned Jesus Christ is true friend.
She's so pretty that even acid couldn't take away her beauty. Also, I'm so glad her eyes weren't damaged. That friend can rot in her own special level of hell.
Mary is evil. Evil.
SERIOUSLY THOUGH !!
"friend"
@@poisencraft3907 @Poise'n Craft i felt giving Naomi a bear hug bc I felt so bad. She is a strong woman. I wonder if Mary feels remorse? Or if she is just a dangerous sociopath.
@@mca7982 I know exactly what you mean. My heart and healing goes out to her in every angle possible from this distance. Honestly, given that she was still acting as her concerned friend I get strong energy that she is in fact without remorse. I don't get a feel that shes there because she felt so bad, I'm getting she's enjoying watching the affects of what she thought she would get away with. Sickening, truly.
She was jealous of your beauty. She still couldn't take that away.
Just said this!
On God !!
She was and not justifying her friend at all but I heard on another video that this girl made a comment about her friend being ugly so she kinda triggered that response in her.
@@sigmasiren7 I mean the truth hurts sometimes, and no she didn't
@@sigmasiren7 calling someone ugly doesn’t warrant an acid attack. Let’s not….
Imagine bringing the same bag that you took to the acid attack to the police station 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Without even knowing that was the bag God is great!!!
You got to be really sick in the head if you plan an acid attack. It's akin to murder. There's a lot of prepping involved. Anyone who does it should be made to serve for life.
I agree. they are threats to innocent beings, and could continue to be if given a light sentence.
The reason why people usually do these acid attacks is because they know that no matter what the verdict is, they'll only serve for a few years whereas their victim will be condemned for life.
that is absolutely heartbreaking and nauseating
They're the worst scum doesnt even deserve to breathe but painless death would be too merciful
Elinia Tollea I completely agree, I think it should even be a death sentence
She was never her friend, she must have always been jealous of Naomi’s beauty. But thankfully, Naomi is still stunning!
What value does beauty have that makes other women who don't have it jealous?
@@NoName-mm6gh I guess it’s up to each individual and how superficial they are which dictates how shallow they are as a person. This guides their own perception on their own value of beauty. The other thing is levels of self esteem and self love. Some people look outwards (material things and compare themselves to others) and some look inwards (how much do i love myself?what is my worth/purpose on this earth?). What happens a lot is, people look inwards and aren’t happy with themselves (ie. low self esteem), so then they begin looking outwards to superficial things and physical ideals of beauty and hold those things higher up on the totem pole than others, which is what IG and all these social media apps thrive on. It’s just what i think.
In deed still beautiful girl.
It has nothing to do with her being pretty...see...sometimes people get jealous- of their friends ,because those friends have: a good job,more money,a nice car,a loving family,big butt,a nice bf ,or even because their shine and are really smart..🥴
@@Jojosiwo absolutely agree that sometimes, or, even most of the time, it has nothing to do with jealousy over beauty and rather about the things that you mentioned. I see it all the time. But judging from the nature of the attack…
Imagine being so jealous of your supposed friend’s beauty that you attack her with acid and even after you severely deform and damage her face she’s STILL prettier than you
Exactly. She’s still very pretty.
Stealth 0
Exactly! Friends like that u sho don’t need an enemy
Scary, that's an enemy
Exactly
Hope this doesn’t sound weird but in some way , her face looks like a beautiful painting! She’s still so pretty , that acid didn’t stop nothing at all.
She is still beautiful even acid cant hold her back.
Period 💎💎💎
Indeed! 🧡
Seriously cuz her eyes alone are captivating 😍
Yes she is😍
@@toriblue7023 why you talking about periods
Jealous people genuinely scare me cause they're capable of ANYTHING if the jealousy gets to their head.
It's Only Asia V Yes.
For real....its such a devilish emotion my gawd....this is why me nah keep too many gyal friends
I hate jealousy so much. It’s so disgusting how you could take something away from someone just because you don’t have it
My mom taught me from the Bible about Cain and able. When I first got jealous at the age of 4 my mom immediately went to the Bible and said "see what Cain did because of jealousy" jealousy often leads to murderous actions ....that's why it's important to recognize it before it gets the best of you.
And another scary thing about Jealousy is most of the time your oblivious to it. A person could be smiling in your face and in secret planning your demise
SHE TRIED TO MAKE HER UGLY LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW , SHES STILL BEAUTIFUL . STAY STRONG LOVE !!
what a cucked mangina.
Hmmm...as a person she can be, idk her to say that. Now from outside hmm she's not anymore.
ur mom facts...
People really have very broad definitions of beautiful
If someone ever did that to me I would wear a mask forever
any hint of anyone - "frenemies", partners, anyone - suggesting that they will physically harm you is a huge red flag. you never, ever threaten someone with some kind of violence. that's the first serious boundary they've crossed and if they're willing to do that, they're willing to do other crazy things.
had a 'friend' back in school who threatened to "bash" me if i didn't do something - i can't even remember what it was - and then she immediately backtracked and then tried to qualify it by saying "it was a joke." um, no. you don't even joke about "bashing" someone or putting hands on someone, period. i thought it was an unsettling remark at the time but now that i've grown older, i know it's totally unacceptable and i should've distanced myself more from her from that point and a few other questionable interactions with her. she did look like she wanted to whack me a few times in the face too but she never went ahead with it cos there was always people around.
This is heartbreaking. People are so evil , she’s still so gorgeous & her beauty over shines her marks. 💖
Nahli Kourtz yes she is beautiful and i would date her and hold her hand in public plus lots of hugs and kisses everyday 💓
She truly is!
Nahli Kourtz yes !!!
Nahli Kourtz You are gorgeous as well
Nahli Kourtz yes she is
“Hidden jealousy” is not really hidden. Pay attention to so called friends underhanded compliments, a compliment that’s really a criticism; how they react when something good happens for you, when you’re being complimented by others and so on. Don’t just shrug it off. People who are jealous of you are capable of ANYTHING.
This! This! This! And this again🤞🏿 pay attention 💯
Crazy just by reading this I replay so many memories in my head, of fake friends comments. God keep blessing Naomi lift her up and surround her with beautiful souls🙏🏽
Yea i had a friend who told me she had doubts about the boy i was seeing at the time. Now she is dating him.. I didn't see the red flags, looking back now she could make mean comments now and then, next to the fun we had too.
@@lindadewaaij4646 sorry to hear but they did you a favor, and that experience help you learn a lot.
You just gave me chills with that.
Her personality shines through, she’s beautiful. I can’t believe some people could be so vile and look upon your downfall
Those type of people are everywhere, even people who hardly know you will sometimes hate you. They're sad.
It’s nobody’s downfall...a bit dramatic.
I think she's really beautiful
I do not care how much you dislike a person. Even if that person deserves to die. You do NOT use acid. That’s so inhumane and it’s my biggest fear in life even though it’s quite uncommon here :/
One has to be mighty sick and evil to do this to someone. She could have lost her sight. A vile and unfirgiveable act
I'm too scared to visit UK or India because of these acid attacks. I now see how people view the US with gun reform lmao, except I'd rather risk the bullets than an acid attack. Mentally I would give up on life and end it.
You can say that again my dear. Its not right at all! People need some classes on emotional management 😮
She is still incredibly beautiful, I think even more so now that she has scars, that just shows that she was stronger than the person that tried to hurt her!
Well that was hateful as fuck!
Jay Brown get a life, she is still beautiful
Wow you are a total waste of life Jay Brown
Nobody in talking to you
Jay Brown.
You honestly don’t understand the comment.
Ladies and gentlemen be careful who you allow into your circle, jealousy is a powerful emotion. 😒
IntelligenceAtItsFinest Babygirl that's very true and, most of the times it's the one you with that is the most jealous of your God Given Talent and Gifts, so really watch this as well
Stay woke!!
Yes indeed Sis 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😢😢😢
So true...
Facts 💯
Honestly her face looks like a beautiful oil painting. She's so beautiful even after the attack, it's like nothing can phase her. And I appreciate how strong for sharing her story with us, the lady who did that to her clearly had to have been a jealous hater!
🎨Yes I thought the same thing, that her face is like a beautiful oil painting. I'm an artist and would love to paint her!💗
@monkey😂
I completely agree with you. Her resilience is truly inspiring, and it's amazing how she continues to radiate strength and beauty despite everything she’s been through. It’s heartbreaking to think someone would act out of jealousy, but her story proves just how powerful she is. How do you think we can support more survivors like her and help spread awareness about such issues?
@@GardenCrawler @🙉
She never lost her beauty, her smile, or her spirit and that is so amazing. I wish that this didn't happen to her but I'm glad that she didn't let it stop her.
It’s crazy how a close friend can do something like this to you. 😧
I remember being so shocked when i heard about this years ago cuz it was so close to home.
It’s Good to see she’s doing a lot better now ❤️
JayJay SweEtsZ Ladies remember; "TRUST NO ONE", I don't care how genuine, loyal, trustworthy, loving, caring, sweet, God fearing, etc., someone is.... Still keep in mind that you will never know what ppl are capable of doing, or what ppl WILL do.. You have no bff's, even family will hurt you and deceive you, so it is definitely and extremely important to know that none family members can't be trusted even more so! There are a lot of jealous women/people in this world, and they will pretend to like you, love you, and do anything for you just to get close to you.. But their real purpose is to get in your business, to get whatever it is they want from you, or to hurt or kill you. Yes, there are "SOME" [ and im using that word lightly], because its probably less than a handful of loyal, trustworthy ppl in this world today that you can actually depend on and call "A real friend".. but you can never really tell if that person is "A real friend" or not so it's just best to keep ppl at a distance. And that might not work, because jealous ppl are capable of any and everything and even if they don't know you they'll still try to harm or kill you either bc you're pretty, you have money, you have that beautiful house, or that great paying job, (for women) you have the man the jealous girl wants, (for men) you feel like if you can't have the woman; then no one will have her....and then they can't take it no more so they'll do anything to take you out or at least change your life for the worst forever! Always be aware of ppl, and never put your trust in NOBODY except The Lord above!
Vanessa Rivaille any updates? About her and was she white
JayJay SweEtsZ sad 🙌🙌 lord protect me from my friends!!
Vanessa Rivaille that’s fucked up hun I’m sorry that happened to you. And trust me, Animals are a god send.
My sisters brothers just got murdered by his own friend. This world is sick and shows u can trust no one
She's still soooo beautiful. Her "friend" is clearly jealous
She's absolutely still so beautiful! & like Mom always says. Real beauty is from the inside out!.
@Me Smith : I'm missing the point of your question, please elaborate.
@Me Smith Well, you can't cover or beautify your personality with make up.
@Me Smith Good for you. That wasn't meant as an attack. It was just a general statement.
So true
She so pretty like omg like she was still gorgeous with the acid attack so if her friend was trying to take her beauty away she failed tremendously
Angel Adams
She really failed. The lady is still more beautiful than her
True sista true
Angel Adams moo
Yep so true like she really failed. That friend will find no peace for what he did , she will not rest easy and it will haunt her for the rest of her life ❗❗❗ God blessed this girl with a beautiful smile face and every thing she is still and always pretty with her face on 😚😚😙🙏💖
Whatz yo ig
Jealous is evil indeed. I am glad because you are healed now and able to explain what happened, you are still beautiful dear, thanks for the family members and friends who still show you love. I am your friend too I love you, watching from South Africa
I’m so sick to my stomach, that’s not a friend. Jealousy is the worst disease
I think it is probably different moral values, instead of jealousy
That's not a friend..that is what you call an EVIL HEART.
You know..I got sick to my stomach also and then just reduced to years, cause I'm thinking about the fake friends I was delivered from 😔

@@sbjncn excuse u?
Mary only received 12 years in prison while Naomi is serving a lifetime sentence. Hardly seems fair...Where’s the justice?🤔
@Flora GoodVibes right, acid burns are worse than being set on fire since you cant just put it out
Makes we wonder if the perpetrator thought her cover would be the belief that the attacker would obviously have been male?
@@burleybater Her cover was the burka plain and simple.
12yrs that it..
Wooow
That Mary one didn’t succeed in whatever it was she was trying to do with that attack.
As this lady is still gorgeous and her personality shines through so brightly.
No matter how you try, you can’t dim another persons light.
Gosh not to be shallow or anything but she's STILL very pretty? Even without makeup, she's.... This is gonna sound so rude but I'm gonna say it, she's still better looking than some people who haven't had trauma to their faces. She's a good looking girl
Naija ur definition of beauty is not the similar to the average person
teadus just b/c you like blond hair, blue eyes and white skin doesn’t mean other people like it
Gold Mind i dont
Gold Mind she would be normal looking if it werent fir the burns
teadus stfu, i see you commenting on every person who says shes pretty. SHE IS pretty, you are an ignorant scumbag, and people like you shouldnt have access to the internet, because you don't use it right. Go out and do something good, do a good deed and leave your negative self
How can you throw acid at someone that so evil
Yeah its so evil
Its discusting that people acc do this
No morals or emotions whatsoever just plain evil
It's good that it wasn't the type if acid that bruns your hole face you literally be faceless no eyes no nose only your mouth to breathe from
It’s a truly disgusting act
Jokes on that demon. She’s still beautiful despite her scars and glows from within. You couldn’t take her beauty away.
Morgan J very true
Dante The Demon Slayer trust me she is, this was very evil
You can’t say that it backfired because she still caused her unbelievable pain and stress. It doesn’t matter that she’s still beautiful, to the attacker she succeeded by essentially ruining a big part of her life
There is a fiery place in hell waiting for that “friend” who did this to this beautiful young lady! I hope she rebuilds her life and goes from strength to strength!! 🙏🏾
This is why I don't really do "friends". Especially if those friends are not ambitious, negative and never truly supportive. "Friends" like these only stick around to watch your demise or hold you back out of jealousy
theres plenty such people out there....still thats nothing compared to actually throwing acid in someone's face or murdering them out of jealousy. jealousy is a human flaw....some have it more some have it less and then there are those psychos that cant draw the line between good and bad. i dont do friends either....but that wont keep me from being social whenever I feel like it....but if I seee any pathological signs of jealousy or behaviour ofc then I am out for good.
FACTS!!!!!
Girrrrrl exactly! Once I realize a friend lacks self esteem or confidence she becomes extremely hateful
@@riateor2243 I'm very social. I just don't let anybody and everybody who is nice to me into my deep personal life and be safe. I see any red flag I leave em alone. I don't do jealousy or spite in friendships.
@@miloudivyne yes. Alot of women don't realize how much in a dangerous spot we are in. There are the type of men that want to take your life out of jealousy and we have the type of women that want to take our life out of jealousy and envy. Especially if you are a successful woman. Gotta be careful
Years ago when someone getting attacked or being murdered, investigators were always asking " who were the enemies of the victim to be sus " but Sadly now they are asking " who was the closest person to the victim " to be sus "
Wow deep but true
Right! 💯
lol thats bs, its always been procedure to ask about friends, because people who know the victim are more likely to know their whereabouts and habits. They would of course ask if the victim had people who might want to cause her harm as well
Not true. In some cases, the person who most likely did it is one who is the closest. This has been known for years.
So true. After natural causes the second biggest cause of death to women is from men murdering them, usually partners , ex partners or men known to them .
You would hope with this vile statistic that the sisterhood would stick together rather than do things like this . Beyond belief :(
I wanna hug her... Thank God it didnt affected her sight
I wanna hug you
Amen 🙏 thanks 😊 for just caring
@@lastx2961 bro wha--
She is such a strong and beautiful woman, thanks for sharing her story!
This makes me not want to have friends and never leave the house
Fr even though I don’t have friends or leave the house
Don't do that to herself you have to live and enjoy nature hon ,live and be happy .
That's what's up
Know what you mean
@@chiaugenyi6652 same
Naomi lived less than a 5 minute walk from my house... her story has always touched me and although I have never had the chance to meet her, I keep up to date through interviews and documentaries like this. It's good to see she's steadfast on the road of recovery, and she's still as beautiful as ever ❤️
Angeliculture I hope you can meet her, she seems like an amazing person
Please tell me her friend got some jail sentence or something. This is just heartbreaking
+nada tweety
Ok, can we stop referring to this animal as her friend??
If this is a friend, I'd hate to see what an enemy would do
loose Burger sadly you're right about that, whoever's capable of doing such a thing is nowhere near to be a friend. I was just referring to her by that, cuz they didn't give her a name in the vid and instead referred to her as Naomi's ex friend or whatever
Her name’s Mary.
whoever uses acid should deserve more then prison for such a cowardly attack
They deserve some acid in the face to feel what their victim is going trough
@@bigsmoke7332 My thoughts exactly.
She was beautiful before the attack and she is still gorgeous. Some People tend to be envious of such beauty
She is STILL beautiful ‼️ that FRIEND was NEVER her friend.
Most likely jealous of her looks
Ya think.....
@@blackwolf9524 What's your IG?
🧢🧢🧢🧢
Preach
This girl was never her friend....she was envious and jealous of her looks and wanted to permanently disfigure her. Now that's a treacherous evil person. I'm glad they caught her.
Vanessa Maat I wish Naomi had cut her off when she made that statement the first time. When people talk, it’s good to listen because they always tell on themselves.
Vanessa Maat exactly never a friend!
Vanessa Maat preach.
@@tinasnow2006 me to. I hope she is healing well.
@@tinasnow2006 same i would've never spoken or went near her again
This case needs to go back to court. A 12 year sentence for the perpetrator isn't justice for this poor girl and her family!
LFC 5 times she got 12 years? Wow
namepi Exactly! It's very unlikely that she'll serve the full sentence too. Our justice system is so flawed. She should get a life sentence.
Naomi needs to get a good lawyer
Oh I thought 12 years was too much....
Allyson Vasquez 12 years is too much for someone ruining your face? How would you feel if someone poured acid on your face and you have to live feeling self conscious the rest of your life? You're seriously fucked up in the head if you think 12 years is too much.
This is absolutely devastating, she’s such a fighter! So inspiring
I’m so angry that this happened to her. People need to talk rather than hurt one another. This poor woman has to build a whole new life bc of this terrible friend.
Exactly. These stories are making me not want friends.
This is so disturbing 😞
@@kaylalaufeyson8828 me too
Smh her friend should get life. This is so wrong
Sharon Jones her friend doesn’t deserve a life after what she did.
Sharon Jones her so called Friend
what does Mary deserve then bc Naomi will be scarred for the rest of her life?
N. Kreig yes
Sharon Jones she was not a friend but the devil in disguise, friendenemie.
Jealousy is an really evil sin some people who you think are your friends aren't your friends you should keep you circle small
Divine Larose I’m not religious but jealousy is mentioned as the root of evil in all the abrahamic religions
Divine Larose Yes indeed. I have a video on jealousy!
Divine Larose it’s really such an ugly thing. I’ve experienced it from family and friends. (Not like I’m so great). But, my husband and I worked hard for our lives and so many people don’t like to see people succeed or doing better than they are. It’s really quite sad.
Ayee
There should be a life sentence for crimes like this
She's still extremely beautiful
. . . and very lucky no vital damage, the eyes, mouth, everything is still there. Of course smooth skin would be better but you are still pretty.
I never knew even women do such things. But this person has now to live with guilt her entire live. She will dream of you, she will sometimes wake up in the night, and even when she's 70 she will be disturbed about what she did.
not at all xd
BeeGee 26 I agree. I also really love her voice.... It's very soothing
Are u saying this fot 621 likes?
BeeGee 26 yes I Agree
So people go around thinking “I’m gunna buy acid... and throw it in someone else’s face”.... madness
A friend of mine had that happen to her in 2013... And it was here in the states on the East Coast. Her ex-boyfriend would not leave her house, so the day that he was supposed to be evicted from her house at the magistrate hearing, he attacked her an hour before the hearing... I felt so bad for her, because a week or so before he attacked her, he was trying to poison her, and he was recording her phone conversations. As far as I know, he was locked up for only three years, because she did not want it to go to trial but if it would have gone to trial, he could have gotten up to 10 years. She wishes she would have just let it go to trial, but she wanted to move on with her life. Now, she has a belt in martial arts
Naomi is still so beautiful. Her beauty will never fade. Best wishes to her in all her endeavours.
Strangly, when I accidently spilt a pot of boiling water down the front of me, I too was singing to myself to keep myself focused and sane. It worked. Drove myself to the hospital spouting things like sooie pig pig pig, and Now that I walk through the valley of death....
The hospital was shocked I did not call an ambulance, I needed to do something, not wait, and I had in my mind ambulances were for "real emergancies". Of course I arrived naked from the waist down, but I made it.
This woman is insanely courageous, strong, a role model.
You know shes gorgeous when even AFTER an acid attack she still looks like a model!
Kaeli H was thinking same thing too
Yeah, she could be a body double for Freddie Kruger.
Smiley Vs Karla no.
Kaeli H yes mam
A year later, still holding a grudge over nothing. Jealous friends be bad af when you cutt them off. She was probably even more angry that she cutt her off and was living her best life without her.
i think it could’ve also been unrelated to that and she did it out of jealousy for her looks, but either what a shit ‘friend’. im glad she was exposed for what she did eventually
Honey Blu that's why I cut certain people out my life for good because if something like that happened to me, I would be in jail for murder.
Plus she's still beautiful no matter what.
Shoot I had a friend get mad at me because I got married without telling her or anyone,that was back in 2013 and when I go into the store she works she still is a butt,was like sorry my decision not to tell anyone.
*She’s actually gorgeous wtf*
i know right, it's so sad what happened to her
Analise yeah
i think she means after the accident?
Before and after. Inside and out❤
Analise she still is I’m like 😍
I feel that no woman should ever be jealous of another were all sisters and were all shapes,sizes,different colors,and beautiful,I think hating on someone n not giving props where props are due is devil activity,always remember ladies if someone truly loves you they love you for you not your looks and any woman out their who thinks she can keep someone man or woman based on looks alone is sadly mistaken true beauty is where your heart is.and the heart speaks volumes!!
All of a sudden I'm fine with having no friends
OKAY!!! I just got away from some people who you'd think had ZERO reasons to be jealous, but they manage anyway. If you appreciate what you have, even those with a lot, will be jealous of you.
Right! People not shit these days. Just lowdown as hell. Gotta stay looking over your shoulders.
Honestly if I ever had a friend who threatened me with an acid attack or any unironic threat in general, I would doorslam them then and there. Hard, cold turkey.
Yesss
Excatly hun im the same
Imagine trying to hurt your friend with acid to make her look ugly but she still ends up 10 times prettier than you, not only is she beautiful but she’s also strong! 🥰
I can’t believe they accused her of doing it to herself for attention
So twisted & sad. Sososo sad.
Are you serious?
Yeah i remember this story when it first happened...all the news agency were alleging she did it to herself before the instigation had even started, because she could only identify her attacker as someone in a hijab...ppl were saying she did it to get attention and blamed it on Muslims in the community. But clearly that was not the case...so sad every bit of this story!
I know so sad! It's probably because of the woman before her, with a mental illness poured acid on her own face and said someone else did for the attention.
chicken stripper Only white people do this for attention and blame black people for it. Look it up!
Keep shining my girl. Ur poise and strength will be an example to others. U ARE BEAUTIFUL ❤
It’s so disgusting that Mary sat there acting concerned knowing damn well she did that shit. Her getting locked up isn’t big enough like I want some bad karma to happen to her
“why? i just don’t understand “
Put her under the jail 🤣😅 - Artofkicks 🙌
Karma will show it's self when least expected, believe me.
@@Amused_Comfort_Inc Hahahahaha😂
That’s why be very alert when all of a sudden they reaching out to you trying to reconnect after so many. A ex-friend tried this with me weeks ago, message me I didn’t even know her number until I press on her pic and message her back just out of respect. She said She was thinking about me lately, I said okay I am doing fine, how are you and family? She said good,I said okay take care. She had the nerve to say call her sometime. After I finish messaging I blocked her.
Crazy how even after the acid attack, she's still 10 times more beautiful than her jealous "friend"...smh, I'm glad she's telling her story because it sheds a light on a topic. If anyone threatens you in that matter REPORT it and take it serious. This story can save so many others. I wish this lady well, still gorgeous😍
Gurrl You're so right. Damn to these jealous females. Being pretty can hurt. This story reminds me of one of my jealous neighbor, who threatened to send someone to hurt me bcz she thinks her husband has an affair with me 🙄. BTW my other jealous neighbor can't stand me stepping foot outside, she slams door, mad dogs tried to intimidate, etc.
@@AnneRr0_0 wow I think you need security pls protect your self this is not normal
Ikr? She look stunning 🤩
Jealousy is an awful trait. This is the reason as to why I don't have any friends because you just can't trust people. Naomi's strength is amazing. She will conquer, achieve and succeed in all that she has does.
Exactly
I connect with people including coworkers, neighbors, delivery people, folk I meet while outside, great comraderie with supervisors, great conversations with folk at parties and clubs.....I choose to be alone because the elites have made this a world of wickedness, deceit and evil basically and unfortunately the people in it are brainwashed to participate in it.
@Hungti you don't her, do you?
No friend gang. So many red flags
Friendship isn't mandatory for someone to become jealous of another person ,in fact in life most jealousy is enacted by people who have no close attachment with the object of their disdainment . Human beings by nature are social entities ,it's a innate part of our psychological dna ,one horrid episode should not discourage objective relationships with other people ,for every terrible incident simply grasp the multitude of positive human friendships that are vibrant ,the situations in which people lives are made better because of close human bond relationships . If everyone utilized this extreme indictment against compassionate human love and trust ,love would never be administered towards other human beings , we'd be cast in a abomination world of seething anger ,fear ,and total absence of any type of progressive human kind growth .
She is still gorgeous and honestly now she is not only beautiful but from her face she has an obvious story of strength to tell. It is like when a pretty woman has a scar. It doesn't make them look ugly it makes them look strong and/or like you want to be a comfort to them bc they must have gone through something. Both of which are reactions that have nothing to do with thinking someone is ugly.
These acid attacks are so common in the UK now, it's so scary. Poor girl
Yeah so sad :(

Be careful who you call your friends this is mad scary
MichMichxo. 💯
People who do this should be tried for attempted murder. Literally trying to end there life. Maybe then people would stop or cut down on how many acid attacks happen. Poor woman.
me me attempted murder isnt enough
It should carry a very HEAVY sentence like an attempted murder charge. Ppl don't seem to realise how permanently destructive this crime is. She's lucky she didn't go blind or worse! I'd give her a hefty 15-25 year sentence with no parole.
Still the victims life is ruined forever. She will carry that disfigurement to her grave. Not even Life in prison would do her justice in my opinion. Its not nice but an eye for an eye in my opinion. I hope karma will come her way.
one of the few times I'm glad I don't have friends
Amelia Healy this was the only case I know where a 'friend' acid attacked. Usually it's just random attacks.. so its still frightening
Amelia Healy it could still happen
Entranced Reader yeah that or an ex spouse is
Entranced Reader so called friends have killed out of jealousy and set ppl up to get attacked ! I'm 34 and I'm glad I don't have friends either !
Amelia Healy For Real
The friend actually had the nerve to say that her poor victim doused herself with acid to achieve fame. Insane.
