She was rushed into surgery and doctors thought she wasn’t going to pull through, but she did. She was humiliated by many at school over the years.
The incident saw her have over 100 surgeries. She has now made peace with her scars and doesn't want to walk the road of any further theatre time.
She says she wears her physical scars like diamonds, even saying that her scars bring out her personality.
