Charla Nash, the Connecticut woman who mauled by her friend’s 200-pound chimpanzee last February, revealed he horribly disfigured face on The Oprah Winfrey Show Wednesday.
WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC IMAGE AFTER THE JUMP!!!


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.”
Oprah removed Charla’s hat and veil to reveal a face swollen and damaged beyond recognition.
“I want to get healthy,” she said. “I don’t want to wake up with nightmares.”
Police shot and killed the animal. Nash has been hospitalized since. shremains in stable condition at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. This is so heartbreaking…I was expecting her injuries to be severe — but wow. Thank God she’s alive.
