Porn star Christy Mack posted photos Monday of her recovery from injuries she sustained from a beating allegedly at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, MMA fighter “War Machine.”
Mack simultaneously released a statement on both Twitter and Instagram, featuring pictures showing her face two days after the incident, two weeks after the incident, four weeks after the incident, and on Saturday night when she attended a charity event. Mack’s injuries included broken bones around her eyes, a broken nose, missing teeth, a fractured rib and a ruptured liver.
She wrote:
2 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and last night. 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 out 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 bone sticks out on the left side because it feels so weird.) My top lip will regain movement in less than 6 months… looking forward to using straws again. My liver seems to be alright.
Mack went on to say that she hasn’t felt like herself since the beating and is still getting used to all her physical transformations including cutting off all her hair and losing 15 pounds.
War Machine, who legally changed his name from Jonathan Koppenhaver, went missing for a week after the Aug. 8 incident before police apprehended him in California on Aug. 15.
On Aug. 11 Mack posted pictures of herself in the hospital along with a lengthy statement giving her side of the story. War Machine was brought back to Las Vegas, where he pled not guilty to 32 charges including kidnapping, sexual assault, battery and attempted murder.
The police responded to the wrong home when Mack made a 911 call that immediately disconnected during her attack, according to a report from KSNV. After a neighbor called 911 a second time—over two hours after Mack’s initial call—police allegedly took 17 minutes to respond.
