Acid Victim

The victim of a random acid attack has bravely come out to give a statement about her horrifying experience. She says she didn’t know the woman, but could see the jealous rage in her eyes.

Bethany Storro was celebrating her new job when a stranger approached her and asked, “Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?”

The attacker tossed a cup full of acid in Storro’s face. Her skin immediately began to sizzle.

The 28-year-old from Vancouver, Wash. spoke publicly for the first time since the vicious attack earlier this week in her hometown.

“It was the most painful thing ever,” she said from the hospital Thursday. “My heart stopped. It ripped through my clothing the instant it touched my shirt; I could feel it burning through my second layer of skin.”

Just prior to the attack, Storro was on cloud nine over her new job. As a treat, she bought herself a new pair of sunglasses.

The present turned out to be a lifesaver, protecting her from almost certain blindness if the acid had hit her eyes.

Storro described her attacker as a black woman in her late 20s wearing khaki pants and her hair in a ponytail.

“I have never, ever seen this girl in my entire life,” Storro said. “When I first saw her, she had this weirdness about her – like jealousy, rage.”

The surgeon who operated on Storro said the liquid was as strong as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.

As police look for her attacker, Storro has one just one question: “Why?”

Did my attacker wake up in the morning and say I’m going to “carry some acid in a cup and throw it on the first person I see?” Storro asked.

Despite the severe damage to her face, Storro, who lost most of her hearing after two bouts of spinal meningitis as a child, was happy she could still see.

“I’m just so glad it’s a miracle.”

Wow.

    Damn thats bad

  • Soul Touch

    that’s just terrible. people can be so vicious.

    To do that someone takes a cold heart.

  • http://theworldtoday chocolate pretty

    We have really got to be careful, people are depressed, insecure and crazy.

  • Soul Touch

    Exactly.

  • MsRachael

    Based on this story and the many other bizarre stories out there – I’d say your totally right.

  • Niasia

    it took serious mental issues to carry out an attack like this. Especially on someone you don’t know. I hope they fine her.

  • ReALiSt aka ReALeSt (StArRiNg At Da WoRLd ThRoUgH My ReAr ViEw!!)

    Damn! That’s fu-cked up – there are just too many crazy people out there.. I’d rather be dead than have someone mess up my face like this..

    This is UNACCEPTABLE and I abhor this type of behavior.. I can’t really give my judgement on why the accused person did this but there is always two sides to every story..And, no matter what this person must have done – she doesn’t really deserve this type of treatment..

    I know the world was built on racism, and we all can’t really get along – because the world was built on the survival of the fittest.. We as black people need to thread carefully and go after the real culprits, if we’re trying to fight the “racist” people..

    We need to choose our battles more wisely.. A wise man once told me that:”The real bad boys move in silence.”

    There’s are policy in Iran called “an eye for eye”. If someone deliberately blind with acid or any other substance, the government blinds you as a punishment. I hope the courts gives the attacker a VERY SEVERE punishment!

  • Somali Ninga

    *the government blinds them as a punishment*

  • hottestchickinthegame

    You need to shut-up and realize they only do it so that they can get attention from people like you. IT’s more than likely a dark skinned black person making the comments so stop showing him that he is playing on your obvious insecurities and they will eventually go away!

    Grow up and get over it!

  • Somali Ninga

    Iranian to be blinded with acid for doing same to woman

  • wtf y’all talking about

    you’re dumb

  • Jerzziigurl

    This is just not right… I pray for people like this… smh..

  • hmmm

    I was thinking the same thing. some women get jealous even if their man or ex said “hi” or held a friendly convo w/ another woman … or it can be continued road rage, off the road … I hope she recovers.

  • Ms.Drizzy

    i feel so sorry for this girl..i hope they find whoever did and lock the person up for life !

  • My Other SN

    “I have never, ever seen this girl in my entire life,” Storro said. “When I first saw her, she had this weirdness about her – like jealousy, rage.”

    Now I know you did this to yourself! LMAO!!! Pathetic!!!

  • keepit100%

    This is horrible. But I believe there is more to the story. Maybe she was sleeping with her man or something. Which still doesn’t justify her bahavior.There are two sides to every story. But think about how many people have been “attacked” by a African American and it turned out to be a lie. Remember the women who put her kids in the river?

  • Barbie Garbage

    I love the beautiful sprit she has I saw her talking this morning and she is such a wonderful person in the inside.

    It makes you scared because people are copycats! I get complements but they make me uncomfortable now they are going to make me even more uncomfortable the next time a stranger does that.

  • mika

    I know this is F’D up…but, when I first heard the story I imagined it would be ALOT worse…so I’m glad she still looks somewhat normal…

  • en

    I’m not making a conclusion yet till they catch the so called black woman, I won’t be surprised if is a propaganda ,From her statements”jealous rage in her eyes” So basically the black woman thought she was prettier than her or what ?I will wait to see what comes out but if a black woman did it then SHAME ON HER.

  • Divine

    The only people with disparaging and angry remarks is YOU and other black women haters.

  • http://deleted Just Sayin

    Very wise indeed!

  • Kimmy

    people need to grow the F*ck up…. this is so sad!! How bout somebody throw some in your ugly azz face!! Damn this is a human, to hell with her being black, white, chinese, mexican are whatever!! The person who did this needs to be charged with attempted murder! I’m black female and I don’t wish that on my worse enemy…. Now my baby daddy that’s a different story (J/K)

  • Divine

    Im so sorry that happened to this girl.
    But I think there is more to this. Just the comments from her mom in the previous article about moving there to get away and get a new start leads me to believe she was in some bad situation before.

    I wouldnt be surprised if its all related.

    I just dont see a crazy person walking around with acid. And decided to pick her out randomly to throw acid at her for being pretty…

    Its possible though.

  • Miss U Much MJJ….Lovely1

    I have to agree with you. Something isn’t right about this story. I’m thinking someone payed the black woman to do this to victim. It seems to personal.

  • LuVn_LiFe

    One thing really got my attention that Ms.Storro said “When I first saw her, she had this weirdness about her – like jealousy, rage.”
    Really??? granted the woman that did this to her is obvoiusly deranged,but she had sooo much Jealousy and rage for someone she doesnt Know?

  • http://deleted white male

    I think if you throw acid in someone’s face then you should be executed or jailed for life.

  • proud mom

    THATS SO CRAZY, SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST EVIL….. AND SHE HOW COULD SOMEONE BE SO JEALOUS OF SOMEONE THAT THEY NEVER MET… BUT IT HAPPENS… JUST WANNA SAY TO THE ONE THAT WAS ATTACKED THAT YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS AND KEEP YOUR BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT…

  • WHADUP

    I’m sad for her.
    I’m gonna pray for her.
    May GOD help her.

  • don’t ask

    The damage doesn’t lok as bad as I thought it might when I first read the story. I hope she heals emotionally as well as physically.

  • Robert

    If you think white males stick up for white women you must be out of your mind. In race relations every race does that. But in reality white men see white women as property and that is all. Heck, I know blogs dedicated to white males bashing white women. Why do you think that white males are moving to Asian women, its not because they like asian women better. They are more subservient that many white women. There is no race harder on its women than white males. The suicide rate for white women are the highest in any race that is because of the expectations that white males put on their women. If you are around whites you will come to understand the rough things they say about their women, and its chivalry.

  • Robert

    Err not chivalry

  • ugh disgusted by the black(wack) community

    Ugh so funny how peoples comments affect how it makes other people feel and react. I mean they are just words….it is so funny because most of the people on here never met a single “commenter” yet get so offended about what people are saying about black women. If you’re a black woman, just live your life the best way you can and shrug off the other haters.people always have something to say but that their opinion and point of view and it should not affect you.

  • GEM

    It is some crazy people out there. Why would anyone do this to another person. It doesn’t matter if there is more to the story. The act was vicious. Jealousy is evil to the bone. Cowardly azz looney tic needs to be charged with attempted murder.

  • Xster

    It was a white woman wearing a Black person face mask who did it.

  • Mila

    I agree with everything you said except for the “take it up with him” No one is in a position to take it up with the creator period. The lord giveth and taketh away. I can’t believe people have the audacity to think they can
    “take uo anything with an entity that is ABOVE and BEYOND them. Pure idiotics if you ask me.

  • S.a.s.s.y24

    shut up

  • Ummmmm…….

    That’s disgusting someone would have so much hate to do that to someone. Hearing the victim and now seeing her pictures, her spirit shines through and she is still very much beautiful on the inside and out.

  • Tia

    For the record it is not only the unappealing who want to cause harm to another because they see someone else who is pretty in appearance. There are some people who are gorgeous in sight and hate others who are gorgeous as well. They want to be the only one who has flawless features. They become extremely agitated when they see another pretty girl. They secretly want to inflict harm just because they deem themselves the only one worthy of being pretty or handsome. Males are envious of other males who are handsome as well. They like to hurl insults and call all attractive males gay, or search for a flaw just so they can deem themselves the only one who is appealing. This is all attributed to envy. It wreaks havoc on a human being and it can be a detriment to others who come in contact with these selfish abusive individuals.

  • ImJustSayin

    black women can be so vile

  • jj

    and white women cant???

  • jj

    i feel bad for oh girl and all but i get a feelin that its another side to this story and just because a person has dark skin does not mean they are black ive seen middle eastern people with skin dark as tar so im not buying that some black women just comes out of the blue and decides to throw acid on her i heard of hatin hood rat byches tryin to cut pretty girls faces with blades and stuff but throwing acids isn’t a common thing for girls like that to even think of
    something aint right with this story btw ya neva know either way it was wrong

  • lipz

    wow i feel it for this girl. But im worndering was the attack really random? maybe the vicitm doesnt know the girl, but the girl sure might know her…Hmm ex/betrayed wife/lover of the victims man…u never know the whole story these days! but hope they catch this girl and lock her up for life.

  • Hotfyah

    I’m glad she still has her sight and the damages aren’t beyond repair, but that is so jacked up. First of all, I can’t even imagine soomeone making me angry enough to throw acid in another person’s face, and considering the fact that she doesn’t even know the woman is a damn shame. Second of all, why the hell is everyone so damn sensitiive today where every little thing will lead to a blinding fit of rage? What is really going on with society? Maybe there’s something in the water but people are buggin and it is really sad to see stuff like this happen almost every damn day. Enough already, it’s high time that we act as ladies and gentlemen as we truly are, we have the POTENTIAL to be BETTER, so lets be better.The human race is really saddening with all of the insanity going on. Enough already.

  • anjel

    People are so evil in this world today. How could someine be so cruel as to do something like that? I will never understand human nature.

  • Tragic Mulatto

    Stop generalizing black women. If the attacker had been white, we wouldn’t even be discussing this right now. it’s obvious that this girl is thinking that the black lady that through acid on her was jealous of her simply because she was white and “pretty”. The description they gave of this female was very general and stereotypical. A black women with medium hair pulled back in a ponytail? That could be any black woman and that’s exactly the point they are trying to make,That All black women are blind with jealousy and rage. It is NOT true. some black women really love themselves and would never stoop so low. The attacker obviously had mental problems. Every ethnic group does bad things not just black women!

  • Eian

    WAS THAT PUFF DADDY??? (jk)

  • Eian

    You know what? You could be RIGHT!! Did’nt think about that. Good one.

  • marilovesrog

    Thirsty chicks nowadays (I hesitate to call them ladies)… they are so insecure, lonely, messed up in their head and dying to be prettier than anyone else. they get surgery, fake hair, nails, fake boobs and butts… what they really need is a good shrink to help them with their esteem issues. they way you instantly see women go on the attack anytime a beautiful woman (rihanna, beyonce, etc.) just shows how messed up these poor broads really are. Nowadays it doesnt even surprise me to think this was a random attack on a pretty girl.. we gotta do better for ourselves girls no matter what color we are. you dont need to be gorgeous, just know you have the power of the pu$$y….

  • Eian

    You know how we dont know If this woman did do this to herself? Do you remember back in 1994 a woman killed her 2 kids by pushing car in the lake. And she said she was car jack by a BLACK MAN! LOL Come to find out she did it herself.

  • marilovesrog

    it is what it is. Over here in L.A. if someone is robbed and they say it was a “mexican guy with a shaved head” or a “black guy with cornrows” 99% of the time thats what it is. theres alot of them out there who fit the description. Now maybe it was a dark hispanic or a white girl with a really dark tan, but “angry black girl” is what she said it was. shoot lock up most of the beyoches posting on this site because they fit the description. and thats not me being racist at all. like I said..IT IS WHAT IT IS….

  • Nostradamus

    @Pete
    I AM isn’t a man so u r wrong
    go back and view older comments and u can tell from there response they talk from females insite(ignorant one) and white men who are racist hate balck men more then anything and usually take that hate out on black men.
    I AM is a black dark skin woman who hates its own self and race and lies about who or what it is but she knows the truth.if im wrong then I AM wont respond to my comment but if im right I AM will respond cuz I AM right.oh and dont be surprised if she use a alias to respond so be on the look out!!!

  • Mel B

    I donbt believe her. She not telling the truth, a black woman… yeah right. She knew who came after her, she was fuggin w/somebody man. Lets keep it real here and her fam know too.

    It isn’t so bad, I think they will be able to help her. It isn’t as bad as Katie Piper’s face was and they managed to make her look almost back to normal.

  • MochaDreams

    Black or White, her attacker needs a hard and swift kick to the throat.

  • TruShid

    wow ! she was pretty tho :|

  • http://devicemedic.com Kimberly Vilson

    um im not mean, hateful, insecure etc.

    so therefore your theory has just been shattered :)

  • http://devicemedic.com Kimberly Vilson

    Honestly you people put to much into this “race war” there are good men and bad men. I have met several to say its a race thing you need to get out more. My boyfriend was raised correctly and respects women to the fulliest he is kind faithful (has no problem with me looking through his phone fb and vice versa )etc.

    maybe you guys should travel a bit more out of your closed minded box :/
