Mori Gabriella Montgomery, 19, dreamed of being a top model. The Las Vegas teen’s dreams have been temporarily deferred at the hands of her boyfriend whom she dated for eight months. This past February, Montgomery posted the disturbing images of injuries she obtained when she was thrown from a moving car and subsequently dragged by her now ex. She was introduced to her boyfriend by her best friend.
Montgomery is utilizing her social media account Twitter, Facebook and Instagram – using the handle bambiiiii_ – to promote domestic violence awareness. A grateful domestic abuse survivor, she is in no way seeking sympathy.
She writes: “This might be a little graphic but I just want to let everyone know that I am okay. I am a survivor of domestic violence with a boy I dated for 8 months.
“I really thought everything was fine but he constantly questioned me about cheating and flirting.
“Nonsense. I never looked at someone the way he looked at me. Thought I loved this boy. How can someone that ‘loves’ me do this to me? The scars on my chest are way worse and extend down to my right nipple, completely scarred.
“The skin on my shoulder has been completely skinned. And I have bruising on my rib cage, neck, and my muscles.
“I was kicked out of a moving vehicle, then beaten and dragged, as I blacked out and was left lying there in my own puddle of blood.”
