Woman whose eyes got removed reveals why she had it done
A woman named Kaylee Muthart from South Carolina, who tragically ripped out her own eyes, has opened up about the events that led to her life-altering decision.
Kaylee shared that she dropped out of school at 17 to work part-time jobs and save for a car.
She also struggled with heart arrhythmia—an irregular heartbeat—which affected her academics and caused her grades to slip.
Despite her challenges, Kaylee was awarded a scholarship to study marine biology, a field she had always dreamed of pursuing.
However, at 18, she began drinking alcohol and smoking, influenced by a family history of addiction, while juggling her part-time jobs.
By 19, she experienced an intense and unfamiliar high, which marked the beginning of a downward spiral in her life.
Talking to cosmopolitian, she said: “I had been a straight-A student in Anderson, South Carolina—I was even in the National Honor Society when I left school at age 17, midway through eleventh grade. Between working long hours to save up for a car, and missing school because of a heart arrhythmia, my grades had begun to slip. I thought taking time off from school would be better than tarnishing my academic record and would leave me with a better chance at securing a college scholarship to study marine biology, which I’d always wanted to do
By age 18, I was drinking alcohol socially and smoking pot often, while working diligently at my part-time job. I suspected I was prone to addiction, since it ran in my family, so I actively avoided what I considered more serious drugs.
But when I was 19 last summer, I was smoking pot with an acquaintance at his house and got a strange high. Later, I googled the symptoms that surprised me the most — numb lips and feeling like I was on top of the world. I’d long been a religious Christian; the high made me feel particularly close to God.
I think the pot I’d smoked had been laced with either cocaine or meth, both of which are stimulants. I was surprised, since I’d never perceived weed as a gateway drug, but here I was, being exposed to substances I never wanted in my life.
Because I’d gotten the pot from the friend I smoked with, I felt like he’d betrayed me and left my job to distance myself from him. I didn’t end up going back to school.
I didn’t have a job and my relationship with my boyfriend of two years began to deteriorate. To cope, I kept smoking pot and drinking alcohol and started taking Xanax recreationally. On the verge of our breakup, I had a mental breakdown. (Months later, in February 2018, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It made sense, since when I felt happy, I felt super happy, and when I felt down, I felt deeply depressed. The turbulence left me especially susceptible to drug abuse, my doctors later told me.)
I finally got a new job, but having lost my boyfriend and a series of close friends, I was lonely and unhappy. I remembered the way I felt on the laced weed and sought that kind of peace again.
At the end of August, with another acquaintance, I decided to smoke meth for the first time. I stayed up for nearly three days and experienced hallucinations I wasn’t expecting — when I looked in the mirror, I thought I saw blackheads coming out of my face and I spent an hour picking at my skin until I drew blood. When my roommate dropped me off for work that evening, I was too embarrassed by my welts to go inside. Soon after, as a result of missing work, I lost my job.
When I sobered up, I watched a video I’d filmed when I was high, and it totally freaked me out — the girl I saw, who kept talking and talking, seemed so different from the real me.
After that, I steered clear of meth but felt so low that I asked one of my roommates, who dealt drugs, for ecstasy. At the time, the substance seemed safer than cocaine or meth, since I knew people used it to feel more free when they partied.
While on ecstasy, I studied the Bible. I misinterpreted a lot of it. I convinced myself that meth would bring me even closer to God.
So, after Thanksgiving, when I was feeling particularly lonely, I smoked meth with a friend. Within two months, I progressed to snorting it, then shooting it as often as I could by myself or with friends. I was surrounded by heavy drug users.
Two or three times, I tried to stop: I carried meth in my pocket all day as if to prove, “This stuff is my bitch,” but I always ended up taking it.
My mom realized I was struggling with mental-health issues and drug abuse but later said she felt helpless; I wouldn’t commit to going to a drug rehab or a psychiatric facility, and without proof that I was a danger to myself, she couldn’t have me committed. Although I didn’t even have a place to live — I’d been sleeping at different people’s houses since moving out at 17 — I told her I had everything under control and avoided speaking to her.
On February 4, I finally saw her again. She’d found a rehab facility for me, and I agreed to go the following week. I later learned she had recorded our conversation, during which I said I didn’t want to be in the world because it was too evil — the proof she felt she needed to get a court order and commit me.
But the next day, I bought meth from my drug dealer. After a friend tried to stop me, I shot up that night. I took a larger dose than I’d ever used before.
On the morning of Tuesday, February 6, I was still high. I was hallucinating, so my memories are fuzzy, but based on what I remember and details I’ve pieced together from other witnesses, here’s what happened: Thinking the friend I’d gotten high with had gone to church, I wandered there along a railroad track. Even though it was 10:30 in the morning, everything looked dark and gloomy apart from a light post, where I thought a white bird was perched.
It was then I remember thinking that someone had to sacrifice something important to right the world, and that person was me. I thought everything would end abruptly, and everyone would die, if I didn’t tear out my eyes immediately. I don’t know how I came to that conclusion, but I felt it was, without doubt, the right, rational thing to do immediately.
I got on my hands and knees, pounding the ground and praying, “Why me? Why do I have to do this?” I later realized this wasn’t a personal religious calling — it was something anyone on drugs could have experienced.
Next, a man I’d been staying with, who happened to have a Biblical name, drove by and called out the window, “I locked up the house. Do you have the other key?” A sign, I thought, that my sacrifice is the key to saving the world.
So I pushed my thumb, pointer, and middle finger into each eye. I gripped each eyeball, twisted, and pulled until each eye popped out of the socket — it felt like a massive struggle, the hardest thing I ever had to do. Because I could no longer see, I don’t know if there was blood. But I know the drugs numbed the pain. I’m pretty sure I would have tried to claw right into my brain if a pastor hadn’t heard me screaming, “I want to see the light!” — which I don’t recall saying — and restrained me. He later said, when he found me, that I was holding my eyeballs in my hands. I had squished them, although they were somehow still attached to my head.
I remember praying and sensing people fill in around me. There must have been seven or eight men, in addition to the pastor, holding me down. I fought so hard against their restraints that my wrists hurt for weeks after. At some point, paramedics arrived, and I was so combative that they had to sedate me with ketamine. I was transferred to a stretcher and airlifted via helicopter to Greenville Memorial Hospital in South Carolina.
While all this was happening, my mom was on her way to the courthouse with her recording to get me legally committed. She was too late.
At the hospital, doctors performed an emergency surgery to fully remove what was left of my eyes in an attempt to preserve my optic nerves and to prevent infection.
I woke up two days later. At that point, the sedatives and traces of recreational drugs were still in my system, but I remembered what happened. Everything was dark, and I knew I was blind, but when I sensed my mom by my side, I knew I would be okay.
I was in the hospital for a week, during which I suffered from bad headaches behind my eye sockets and particularly in my temples. They continued to crop up intermittently for about a month. I was offered hydrocodone for the pain but only took it once or twice — I really didn’t want to take anything besides Tylenol. I was determined to stay off drugs. Luckily, I didn’t experience any drug-withdrawal symptoms.
When I asked friends and family members who visited me what I looked like without eyes, I was told there’s red tissue (muscle filling the socket) and a white spot (my optic nerve endings) where my eyeballs used to be. When my sockets are fully healed, hopefully next month, I’ll get eye prosthetics to fill out my face, although they won’t help me see.
After a week, I was transferred to a psychiatric in-patient treatment facility. I was scared shitless about how I would be treated, but the facility turned out to be amazing, with group-, music-, and animal therapy, plus a really supportive staff. That’s where I was officially diagnosed with bipolar disorder and began taking lithium, a mood stabilizer, plus Risperdal, an antipsychotic medication. Through therapy, I learned to start accepting my new reality.
When I went home with my mom last week, the first thing I did was walk around and touch everything to get a sense of my environment. My mom has been really supportive — she won’t let me go up or down the stairs by myself out of fear I’ll trip, but she gives me verbal cues to get around independently and got me an iPhone that reads text aloud.
Activities I used to enjoy, like playing guitar and learning piano, are going to be harder now that I’m blind, but I’m still optimistic. When I stub my toe or my knee, I think, Well, it probably saved me from walking into a wall and hitting my face.
I still want to go to school to become a marine biologist — although I’m blind, I can still go underwater to feel the pressure and deepness. In the meantime, in addition to my outpatient psychiatric treatment, I’ve gone to the Commission for the Blind for physical-therapy training with a cane, and joined a new church to avoid the drug users I knew at my old one. I plan to attend 90 Narcotics Anonymous meetings in 90 days. Once I raise enough money on GoFundMe, I’m going to get a seeing-eye dog.
Of course there are times when I get really upset about my situation, particularly on nights when I can’t fall asleep. But truthfully, I’m happier now than I was before all this happened. I’d rather be blind than dependent on drugs.
It took losing my sight to get me back on the right path, but from the bottom of my heart, I’m so glad I’m here.

A Nigerian woman known as Baddest Orobo Barbie has shared her emotional experience of being arrested for a crime she claims to know nothing about.
In a video posted on her YouTube channel, she explained that the ordeal began due to her past relationship with her ex-boyfriend. She was arrested upon returning from a vacation and charged with conspiracy to commit fraud because her home was listed as the location where the alleged fraud took place.
She recounted being accused of holding two passports and conspiracy to defraud, leading to her spending 10 days in jail before being sentenced to one year of house arrest.
Before her release, authorities offered her and her lawyer the option of wearing a monitoring device on her leg, a condition that has severely restricted her movement and prevented her from visiting many places.
She expressed how the experience has taken a toll on her mental health, leaving her depressed despite enrolling in university in an attempt to cope.
In a heartbreaking revelation, she stated that she has accepted her fate as she prepares to go to prison in a few days. She also faces a fine of half a million dollars but admits she has no idea how she will raise the money.

If you are 30+ and not married, just forget about marriage and focus on having children- Lady tells women
A woman has advised women in their 30s to prioritize having children over waiting for marriage.
In her video, she urged women to stop focusing solely on marriage at that age, suggesting they first consider becoming mothers. She pointed out that many women have been overly influenced by societal pressures regarding marriage.
She also emphasized that a man who genuinely loves a woman would not want her to suffer, encouraging women to seize the opportunity to marry if they find true love, rather than wasting time.
The woman went on to criticize women in their 30s who hold out for a man who will financially spoil them, warning that this mindset may leave them single and lonely.
Additionally, she shared her opinion that if a man is willing to marry a woman in a simple ceremony at her family home, she should feel grateful and not insist on waiting for an elaborate white wedding.

A nurse named Erin Strotman has been accused of deliberately breaking the legs of seven newborn babies under her care, reportedly targeting them because they are Black.
She has been arrested and charged with malicious wounding and felony child abuse for the incidents, which took place at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in Richmond, Virginia.
Hospital staff initially reported that Strotman injured only two babies, but sources later claimed she “shifted her focus” to harm more infants after returning to work in late 2024.
One source told Dailymail saying: “The majority of the babies were black babies, when she came back when they noticed the pattern, she tried to throw them off by targeting a white baby and a girl baby.
“She wasn’t the strongest in the class, she was literally one of the slowest. People are saying she’s a white supremacist but that’s a bit of a stretch.
“I definitely felt like she was racist, she was deeply southern rooted.
“I was surprised at what she did, but I’m not surprised that it was her. If anyone was to do something crazy, she would have been at the top of the list.”
according to the hospital, it said that it wont be admitting any babies in the NICU at this time after two babies were found with fractures in the Late November and december.
Sources also confirmed to the Daily Mail that four nurses were suspended with full pay for nearly a year during the investigation.
However, they were allowed to return to work after Child Protective Services (CPS) couldn’t determine who was responsible for injuring the babies.
As the investigation continued, the hospital installed Angel Cameras to monitor the nursing staff — and that’s when Erin Strotman was finally caught in the act.
Officials revealed that the injuries were “similar to an incident involving four babies during the summer of 2023,” with Henrico County Police reviewing “dozens of videos” from inside the unit.
Detectives are now re-examining both the 2023 and 2024 cases as part of a broader investigation.
Meanwhile, staff at the hospital were reportedly horrified that Erin Strotman was allowed to return to work during the investigation.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, one staff member said: “Virginia is a right to work state, so you don’t have to have a reason to fire someone.
“If you even suspected these people were in the midst of harming babies you can terminate them.
“But why would you let them come back and harm even more babies? They shouldn’t have allowed her to come back.
“Shoulders and clavicles, when they’re coming out of the birth canal, break all the time, but legs never happen.
“It would have to be a whole lot of coincidences for that fracture to be the same way it was in all those babies.
“It would be like trying to snap a pencil. You have to put some force behind it. It’s highly unlikely unless you accidentally drop one of them to snap their lower leg, below the knee, and that’s what was being broken.”
Despite the horrific injuries, reports say that all the babies are doing well and recovering after being transferred to different hospitals for treatment.
Strotman previously worked in the Progressive Nursery Care Unit (PNCU), caring for full-term and general population babies, before moving to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Those familiar with her described her as someone who “always smelled like a farm.” Mothers whose babies were under her care recalled her frequently talking about her rescue animals.
A video has gone viral showing the heartbreaking moment a woman is left devastated after her boyfriend denies knowing her during a loyalty test.
The test, conducted over a phone call with content creator Lee Lehlogonolo, took an unexpected turn when Lee asked the man how long he had been dating his partner. He responded, saying they’ve been together for four months.
But things took a shocking twist when Lee asked him for her name. The man gave a different name, leaving the woman in disbelief. She was so stunned by what she heard that she paused, taking a sip of her drink, unable to process the betrayal.
