Over deformity, Bethany Storro selects to cry wolf

Some people need notice. It is all they care about. Sometimes, the action is harmless enough; a person shaving their head for instance. Appearing in reality shows on MTV is an illustration of how some individuals try to look pathetic. Sometimes, people hurt themselves and others with the decisions they make to get attention. Well, that’s what Storro did. She gave the press a fake story about an acid face attack that wound up making her disfigured.

Bethany Storro claims to be attacked

Some time ago, a story went out over the news wires of a young woman, one Bethany Storro of Vancouver, Wash., who had been attacked and disfigured. She had acid thrown on her face. It was a complete stranger that did it. Nobody thought this was a scam. It was a young woman who was now disfigured as a result of acid. Bethany Storro, according to CNN was admitted to the hospital on Aug. 30, and released Sept. 5. A young African-American woman asked her if she wanted a drink. Right after that, the woman threw acid in her face, supposedly.

Hoax coming from acid attack

The story seemed so perfect, though an awful cliché. It also turned out to be false. Police started realizing things did not add up as she was about to be released, claims Time . Bethany Storro’s acid burns were suspicious. They looked like they had been applied carefully instead of just thrown in her face. Sky News reports that sulfuric or hydrochloric acid was likely used for this. She admitted the whole thing was a hoax after many asked about the inconsistencies. Just like the balloon boy or a meat dress, it was a stunt.

Paying for it

Bethany Storro is going to have to live with scars for the rest of her life. Also, she submitted a false police report. This means she will likely get charges for that as well. She got a lot of donations to pay for the hospital bills. She is going to need to pay those back as well as paying all the bills by her.
