The Charla Nash Oprah segment first aired in Chicago, but on the East Coast, the scene where Nash unveiled her face was cut. But by then, the Charla Nash pictures of her deformed face were already an Internet sensation.
Since being attacked by Travis the Chimp this past February, no Charla Nash pictures had been released, for obvious reasons. The celebrity chimp nearly killed Nash in his brutal attack, and did unimaginable damage to the Stamford, Connecticut woman. Imagining it was all people could do for the last nine months, and many may have wished for it to stay in their imagination, after seeing what Nash was now.
Charla Nash pictures show an incredibly swollen nose, no lips, and barely anything left of her eyes. But the chimp victim told Oprah that she still stays active, as she goes for frequent walks and claims to feel no pain. Helping matters is that she doesn't remember the actual chimp attack, and that she doesn't feel her face so that she doesn't realize how badly she was hurt.
Despite the terrible Charla Nash pictures, she showed Oprah how she has been able to adjust and live her life, adding some inspiration to this grisly tale. However, the legal ramifications of the chimp attack are far from overs, as Nash's lawyers have filed a $50 million lawsuit against Travis the Chimp's owner, Sandra Harold. She asked Nash to help her bring Travis back to her house, which led to the destructive attacks.
Harold's lawyers allege that the incident is "work-related" and really falls under workers' comp. Nash told Oprah that she had warned Harold to get rid of Travis before he hurt someone, but the warnings went ignored.
The Charla Nash pictures have officially satisfied the morbid curiosity around the chimp victim, one would hope. Now that people actually saw the damage Travis the Chimp caused, Nash can move on with her life and try to go on as best she can. However, the legal battle ahead over the Harold lawsuit ensures that the story is far from over.

Post a CommentDon't people know that all animals like your tigers,lions etc and you get these animals when they are first born and they are not meant to be in a house etc or in cages home. They are wild ones when they start to grow up. That is their makeup.
They were born free.
That is their makeup.
This has certainly caught people's attention. I'm in awe that she is able to get on with her life with relative resilience.
