Habló la mujer que le tiró pintura negra a su cuñada para arruinarle la boda y reveló por qué lo hizo

Un casamiento en Maidstone, Kent, terminó en escándalo cuando Antonia “Toni” Eastwood, de 49 años, arrojó un pote de pintura negra sobre su cuñada, Gemma Monk, en plena ceremonia. La impactante escena recorrió el mundo y ahora la responsable contó por qué lo hizo.
Según Eastwood, la decisión de arruinar el vestido de la novia fue un acto de venganza. “Ella intentó arruinar mi boda primero”, sostuvo la mujer, que es peluquera y fue condenada a 10 meses de prisión en suspenso, además de 160 horas de trabajo comunitario y el pago de una compensación.
Una pelea familiar que terminó en la Justicia
La historia entre las dos mujeres viene cargada de viejos rencores. Eastwood aseguró que Monk intentó hacerla tropezar cuando caminaba hacia el altar en su propio casamiento, tres años atrás.
“Podías ver que tenía el pie en el pasillo cuando Toni pasó”, sostuvo Ashley Eastwood, hermano de la novia y actual pareja de Toni, según The Telegraph.

El conflicto familiar se agravó con el tiempo. Ashley sostuvo que su hermana estaba celosa porque su pareja de toda la vida nunca le propuso casamiento. “Era un tema de celos, porque ella no se casaba y tampoco quería que yo estuviera con Toni”, afirmó.
Por su parte, Gemma Monk, de 35 años, reconoció que había “mala sangre” entre ambas, pero negó haber intentado sabotear la boda de su cuñada. “Es ridículo, soy muy baja como para hacerla tropezar. Miré el video y no pasó nada”, se defendió.
El día del ataque y la reacción de la novia
El episodio ocurrió en mayo de 2024, durante la boda de Monk. Eastwood utilizó pintura para niños, que había usado antes con su hija, y la arrojó sobre el vestido blanco de la novia. Las imágenes de Gemma Monk cubierta de pintura negra se viralizaron y generaron una ola de solidaridad hacia ella.

Aunque el incidente ocurrió fuera de cámara, un video de las cámaras de seguridad captó a alguien tirándole flores a Eastwood mientras huía.
A pesar del ataque, Monk se limpió como pudo, se cambió y, dos horas después, logró casarse con un vestido que fueron a buscar de urgencia.
“Me avergüenzo de lo que hice. No soy así, nunca tuve problemas con la policía”, confesó Eastwood, que aseguró que actuó por impulso y que el hecho la afectó profundamente.

El caso llegó a los tribunales y la Justicia condenó a Eastwood por daños criminales.
La mujer admitió que sufrió un ataque de pánico el día de la sentencia y que teme volver a Kent. Por ahora, la relación entre las familias parece rota. “No vamos a volver nunca más a Kent”, sentenció Ashley Eastwood.
“Me arruinó el día más feliz de mi vida”
Para Gemma, el daño emocional fue profundo. En su declaración ante el tribunal, la mujer declaró: “Esto cambió mi vida para siempre. Perdí mi dignidad, mis hábitos, y sentí que ya no era la misma persona. Si no fuera por mis hijos y mi familia, no sé si habría podido seguir adelante”.

“Esto convirtió el día más especial de mi vida en el peor recuerdo que jamás olvidaré, y mi familia tampoco”, agregó la mujer.
El ataque coincidió con un momento delicado para Gemma, que venía de atravesar un susto por cáncer y había bajado mucho de peso. “Ella sabía por lo que estaba pasando y aun así decidió arruinar el día más importante de mi vida”, lamentó.
El ataque no solo arruinó el vestido y la fiesta, sino que también obligó a la pareja a cancelar su luna de miel soñada en las Maldivas. “No estaba en condiciones de viajar”, admitió Gemma, que vive con Ken y sus hijos Tyler (18) y Naomi (11) en Herne Bay.
A pesar de todo, la pareja planea renovar sus votos en la misma fecha para intentar dejar atrás el mal recuerdo. “Ese día logré sonreír para las fotos porque me casaba con el hombre que amo. Pero no celebramos aniversarios desde entonces. Queremos volver a casarnos y, tal vez, así podamos celebrar de verdad y darnos la luna de miel que merecemos”, concluyó.

At least 82 killed after massive gas explosion rips through coal mine in China

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
At least 82 people were killed and more than 120 others hospitalized after a massive gas explosion ripped through a coal mine in China late Friday, according to the Associated Press (AP). Two people remained missing.
The catastrophic blast at the Liushenyu coal mine in Qinyuan County, located in China’s northern Shanxi province, marked the country’s deadliest mining disaster in recent years.
Local officials, who have launched an investigation into the incident, said they uncovered «serious violations» by the mine’s operator, Shanxi Tongzhou Coal & Coke Group.
The explosion also triggered a wave of heightened safety inspections across China’s coal sector, tightening the supply outlook for coking coal and sending prices soaring Monday, according to Reuters.

According to the AP, the explosion triggered a chaotic scene where thick smoke engulfed the mine and suffocated many victims underground.
One miner lost consciousness, while many others suffered from toxic gas exposure, the outlet added, citing state broadcaster CCTV.
The explosion has reportedly intensified scrutiny from Chinese officials, who said investigators found multiple violations at the site, though details remain unclear.

In 2024, China’s National Mine Safety Administration had previously classified the mine as disaster-prone due to its «high gas content,» the AP reported.
State media also reported that blueprints provided by the mine did not match the site’s actual layout, complicating rescue operations, the outlet added.
Chinese President Xi Jinping called for a full-scale effort to rescue those still missing and ordered a thorough investigation to hold those responsible accountable, the AP said, citing official Xinhua News Agency.

The state-run outlet later reported that company officials connected to the disaster had been «placed under control,» according to the AP.
China has suffered a string of deadly mining disasters in recent decades even as officials have pledged to strengthen oversight of the sector.
In 2023, at least 53 people were killed in Inner Mongolia following reports of a collapse at an open-pit mine.

Dr. Janette Nesheiwat takes new role at Walter Reed treating Havana Syndrome: ‘A profound honor’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Janette Nesheiwat has taken on a new role working at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center caring for members of the U.S. military and veterans, a job she says is a «profound honor.»
Nesheiwat, a former Fox News contributor who was previously nominated for U.S. surgeon general, told Fox News Digital she is specifically treating government and military personnel suffering with anomalous health incidents — also known as Havana Syndrome.
Nesheiwat told Fox News Digital she is helping to manage care for patients including intelligence officials, diplomats and military members and their families who are suffering with complex neurological and vestibular symptoms.
Havana Syndrome is often described as unexplained neurological symptoms suffered by U.S. officials and their families overseas. Officials have suggested the symptoms could be caused by a hostile foreign actor using weapons, but the direct cause is currently under investigation by U.S. intelligence agencies and congressional committees. A definitive conclusion has not yet been reached.

«It’s a profound honor to care for our nation’s soldiers and veterans at Walter Reed and the VA; many returning from the front lines with traumatic brain injuries, blast exposures and complex neurological symptoms,» Nesheiwat told Fox News Digital.
Nesheiwat told Fox News Digital that it is the mission of Walter Reed and the VA to «provide comprehensive, compassionate, evidence-based care that helps patients heal, recover function, and return to the highest level of wellness possible.»
«It is an honor being part of a team dedicated to helping our brave service men and women heal and regain hope after sacrificing so much for our great country,» Nesheiwat told Fox News Digital.
Nesheiwat told Fox News Digital that «service and sacrifice run deep in my family.»
«Several members of my family are veterans of the Korean War, the Afghanistan War and Iraq War,» she said. «Their example, along with many others, gave me a deep respect for our military and makes caring for soldiers and veterans at Walter Reed and in the emergency room especially meaningful this Memorial Day weekend.»
Nesheiwat, a double-board certified physician in both family medicine and urgent care medicine, also volunteers in the emergency room at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Nesheiwat graduated from both the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine and the family medicine residency program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, where she was selected to serve as chief resident.

Nesheiwat, a daughter of Jordanian immigrants, led frontline medical teams during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, along with her past work managing public health responses during flu epidemics, the opioid crisis, the monkeypox outbreak and other major health challenges.
She also was named the first female medical director for CityMD in Manhattan — one of America’s largest urgent care systems.
Nesheiwat was previously nominated to serve as U.S. Surgeon General. Her nomination was withdrawn amid a difference in ideology on her pro-vaccine stance.

A source familiar told Fox News Digital that Nesheiwat has initiated legal action against media outlets that have mischaracterized her background.
Upon the withdrawal of her nomination, Nesheiwat said she was «looking forward» to continuing to support Trump while working closely with the Trump administration «in a senior policy role.»

«My focus continues to be on improving the health and well-being of all Americans, and that mission hasn’t changed,» Nesheiwat said at the time.
She is the sister-in-law of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Michael Waltz.
Casey Means was nominated to serve as U.S. Surgeon General after Nesheiwat’s nomination was withdrawn. Means’ nomination was recently withdrawn, and Trump instead nominated now-former Fox News contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier.
