A British bride<\/a> has battled depression and has been unable to work in the nearly two years since she was drenched in black paint by her spiteful sister-in-law. The attack occurred moments before she was slated to walk down the aisle to wed her childhood sweetheart \u2014 the climax of a revenge attack amid an ongoing feud.<\/p>\n

Gemma Monk, 35, a mother of two, was looking forward to marrying her now-husband, Ken Monk, in May 2024. She was walking with her father on a cream-colored carpet at the venue in Maidstone, England, when someone called out her name. Seconds later, she was splashed with black paint, she told Kent Online<\/a> in an article published Friday.<\/p>\n

Realizing the attacker was her sister-in-law, Antonia Eastwood, who is married to Gemma\u2019s older brother, Ashley, Gemma grabbed her by the hair, but Eastwood managed to get away. The bride was left distraught and in tears.<\/p>\n

JEALOUS EX-BOYFRIEND ACCUSED OF \u2018VICIOUS\u2019 ACID ATTACK THAT LEFT COLLEGE STUDENT SEVERELY BURNED: DA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“This has had a dramatic impact on my life,” Monk told Kent Online on Wednesday, after Eastwood was sentenced by a British court for two offenses of criminal damage. “Even while I was providing this statement at the police station, I got extremely emotional and started crying while talking about the incident.<\/p>\n

“Since the incident, if it wasn\u2019t for my children or my family, I don\u2019t think I would even get out of bed to care for myself,” she added. “I have lost all my dignity and good habits in life. I have lost who I used to be. This has turned the most special day of my life into the worst memory \u2014 one I will never forget, and neither will my family.”<\/p>\n

The attack occurred after Monk had lost significant weight during a cancer scare. Though she has since been given a clean bill of health, Monk said her sister-in-law knew about the medical struggle at the time but “still decided to ruin the most important day of my life and put me at risk.”<\/p>\n

Eastwood, 49, had been banned from the wedding<\/a> following a feud that stemmed from her own nuptials, during which Monk was accused of “trying to trip up” Eastwood.<\/p>\n

In court, Eastwood was handed a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months. She was also ordered to perform 160 hours of community service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This was meant to be a special day for Gemma Monk and her family. Courtesy of your conduct, it turned into a nightmare,” Judge Oliver Saxby told Eastwood before imposing the sentence.<\/p>\n

Eastwood’s husband, Ashley, was once Ken Monk’s best friend and actually introduced him to Gemma when she was only 14.<\/p>\n

Despite the attack, Gemma scrubbed the paint from her face and body in the changing room and borrowed a dress fetched by an usher so she could marry her partner of more than 20 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We had waited for that day for so long. Nothing was going to stop me,” she said. “I did not think twice; I would have walked down the aisle in my knickers and with black paint over my face if I had to.”<\/p>\n

However, Monk, a mental health worker, has since suffered from depression and has been unable to work. In a statement to the court, she said the incident changed her outlook on life and “made me question whether I had done something really bad, whether I had done something wrong.”<\/p>\n

The couple also called off a planned honeymoon to the Maldives because Gemma “wasn’t up to it.”<\/p>\n

“I had a gut feeling\u2014a bad feeling that something was wrong\u2014when I got out of the car with my dad,” Monk said. “But he said it must be nerves.”<\/p>\n

“I will never accept her apology,” she added. “I thought the sentence<\/a> was too light. She should have received at least 23 months for the wait we have had to get this to court.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
