Celebrity Model After An Acid Attack

Katie Piper Before And After The Tragedy

Former model and television presenter Katie Piper faces a new life after the sulphuric acid attack on her last March 2008. Her attacker Stefan Marcel Sylvestre, 22, has just recently failed to change his lifelong jail sentence as three top judges of the Court of Appeal rejected his lawyers’ appeal to better his sentence last July 2, 2010.



It was in London when Katie exited a cafe that Sylvestre approached her with a cup that the actress thought was filled with coffee. Not long after, the man threw the cup to her face and she scream due to the burning sensation she felt as the liquid settled in her face and neck. The liquid was sulphuric acid which burnt the beautiful face of the young model. After several treatments, the young model appeared in public again as she narrates her inspiring story in Glam stage last month.

Paying the offense they made, Katie’s attacker Sylvestre and the master mind behind the crime, her ex-boyfriend Danny Lynch were now in jail branded as a public risk. The 2008 event of her life was now set aside to get a new and better life. “Every scar tells a story and when something like this happens which is not an accident but a deliberate action, I’m not prepared to let it ruin my future,” said Katie in an interview in Glam. “I realised that there are others out there, just like me, who maybe haven’t had the support and attention I’ve had.

That’s why setting up this charity is so important to me, but I feel a bit selfish,” said the former model when asked about the Katie Piper Foundation she established for burns victims. The former young model ended the interview with an astounding applaud from the audience.
