Days
after her friend –enemy Mary Konye was found guilty of attacking her
with acid, Naomi Oni in her first interview on This Morning reveals she
contemplated suicide over false claims that she poured acid over
herself. Talking about her attacker who she has known since she was 11,
Naomi said:
She
was a close friend and I'd known her since I was about 11. I believe,
from what I hear, that she's always had a jealousy, a type of hatred,
which I didn't realise. She would be very on and off with me. She'd
treat me like a puppy, pick up and drop me. One minute she's not
friends, one minute she's friends and as we got older I feel like it
just spiralled.'
I told the police on January 6 - a few days after the incident - when
they asked me if anyone has ever threatened to do such a thing
before. And I thought about it and said someone has. I said a friend of
mine back in 2011 after an argument she told me that she was so angry at
the time that she wanted to throw acid at me.
The
morning of the day it happened. I remember that she messaged me and I
spoke to her in the evening and told her what happened. She seemed
shocked and told me she wanted to come and see me in hospital.
When
I first had some surgery, I remember crying on the phone to her asking
"who would do this to me, who hates me? I would never wish this on my
worst enemy". She told me not to worry, that I'd be okay and she even
attended my surprise birthday party and got me flowers and a gift card.
She
sat beside me and cried and everything. How do I feel about her now? I
think she's a sad person. I think I will always be the person I was and
no one can stop me from that. And like I said before I even knew it was
her, whatever the person tried to do, they failed, and I stand by it.
She failed and will continue to be an amazing person.'
