A WOMAN threw sulfuric acid on herself in order to gain fame and fortune Naomi Oni aged 21

Naomi Oni, 21, who was disfigured for life in the brutal attack, was forced to deny in court that she asked friend Mary Konye, also 21, to "play the stalker" and throw acid on her.
Ms Oni, who has been left disfigured for life by the attack, denied the claims made by Konye's lawyer at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
But the defence claimed it was all part of her plan to become rich and famous, the Daily Mail reported.
Ms Oni told the court she was not obsessed with plastic surgery or with Katy Piper, who was also the victim of an acid attack, despite her laptop internet history suggesting otherwise. Read more after the cut

But Defence barrister Sally O'Neill said Ms Oni created the plan with Konye to pour acid over herself to improve her future prospects.
Ms oni was also asked why she had visited plastic surgery sites and accused her of being obsessed with Ms Piper.
But she told the court she had only visited such websites because she didn't think she was very pretty, but there was no particular reason why.
She also denied throwing acid over her own face in a bid to become part of the celebrity world.
However Ms Oni did admit to deleting her internet search history before police came to get her laptop because she didn't want them going through her personal data.

          Ms Oni, also 21, screamed and could smell her skin and hair burning, the jury heard. She ran home where her family tried frantically to wash off the acid.

          But she lost the skin from her face, and has permanent scarring over her body, the court was told. Her clothes tested positive for sulfuric acid. Konye - who had allegedly told a friend she wanted to throw acid at Ms Oni - denies the attack and being jealous.

Naomi Oni talks to the BBC

          Ms Oni's mother described her as "crying hysterically" when she arrived home in Dagenham. Her family said her hair weave was disintegrating, as were her leggings and her top.
Mr Patterson said there was "visible burning to her nose, cheeks and chin and also to her right wrist, hand, stomach area and left thigh."
Ms Oni, who had a skin graft to her face, nearly lost her sight but suffers from significant scarring.
Konye, of Canning Town, East London, was arrested and told police Miss Oni was very attractive, but denied being jealous of her looks.
She denies throwing or casting a corrosive fluid with intent to burn, maim, disfigure, disable or do grievous bodily harm. The case continues.
