A few days after the influencer Marianne 'N' was linked to a trial for the crime of qualified injuries, the content creator Valentina Gilabert, victim of the assault, finally woke up from the induced coma she had been subjected to. Ernesto Gilabert, Valentina's father, who provided details of Marianne 'N's case in an interview with Maxine Woodside, recounted that the young model was stabbed more than 10 times allegedly by the 'Mommy blogger.'
Following the arrest of Marianne 'N' in Mexico City on February 5, it was revealed that Valentina had suffered damage to various organs, particularly in one of her hands, which was severely affected. Ernesto Gilabert explained that Valentina underwent surgery for her hand injuries and also had lung issues that caused internal bleeding. In addition, the young woman had damage to her chest, face, and head, which required her to be sedated.
More than a week after the assault, Valentina Gilabert was gradually awakened from the coma and is currently recovering favorably. Her parents reported in a press release that the young woman was moved to the intermediate care area after the doctors decided to remove her sedation, take her off mechanical ventilation, and that she has regained the ability to talk and swallow. Despite her improvement, Valentina still has to remain with drains in both lungs due to the severity of the injuries.
David Muri, a friend of the victim's family, shared that Valentina has undergone a total of 9 surgeries. He explained that these surgical interventions were carried out on different organs such as the esophagus, lungs, neck, and hand, the latter severely affected while trying to protect herself during the attack. Although the operations have been successful, Valentina's mother shared in a press conference that the young woman is experiencing anxiety as she wakes from the coma and recovers. Maureen Papon also reported that the reconstructive surgery on the hand is expected to allow Valentina to regain mobility in that limb in the near future.
