It’s now been a month since porn-star Christy Mack suffered horrific injuries during an alleged attack by former Bellator fighter War Machine and she’s now recovered enough that she was able to make here first public appearance this past weekend.
Below you can watch a new interview with Mack courtesy of TMZ in which she looks almost back to her old self, though in a new Twitter update she reveals how she still has a ways to go before she’s back to 100%, as she’s still suffering from issues like breathing difficulties due to her broken nose while also being unable to move her top lip (something that’s apparent in the video).
“I’ve had several dentist visits to make eating more comfortable and make my smile look more normal. I still have a few more dental visits to go. I’ve had my eyes checked and made aware that I’m very lucky to have my vision where it is, since the muscle is tethered by the fragments from the blowout fracture in my left eye. My multiple nose fractures will be fixed in the next couple of months. While they’re fairly symmetrical, my nose is shifted on the inside and out causing breathing issues (I also make everyone feel how my bones stick out on the left side because it feels so weird). My top lip will regain movement in less than six months … looking forward to using straw again.
“My liver seems to be alright. I was admitted back to the hospital shortly after I was released the first time for some minor treatment, but I did not have surgery. While my face is starting to look decent again from the swelling going down, it is still not my own. Cutting what was left of my hair off, and losing 15 pounds (which is a lot when you’re 5’1”) made me feel even further away from myself. It’s hard to look in the mirror every day and see someone you do not know.
“After having make up done and dressing up for yesterday’s charity event, I feel much better about how I look now. It made me feel more normal and beautiful for the first time in a very long time. The event that I went to was for Face Forward. A non-profit charity that funds surgeries for women and children that have been in horrible situations that require them to have reconstructive surgery. They are not funding me, my surgeries are being donated by other doctors. I met many wonderful people and look forward to working more with them in the future.”
While Mack continues to recover, War Machine currently resides in a prison in Nevada awaiting trial where the 31 charges he currently faces include attempted murder and could see him sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole if found guilty.
