While details are vague at this point, Bethany Storro, the woman who claimed to have been attacked with acid back in August, is reportedly pleading guilty on April 8, according to Clark County Prosecutor Tony Golik. She is charged with three counts of theft over soliciting donations to help fix her burned-up face.

Initially, she claimed that an unknown black woman with slicked back hair and a ponytail had thrown acid on her face in a parking lot after asking, "hey pretty girl, want to drink this?", but later admitted to rubbing drain cleaner on her face in a park bathroom hours before because she wanted a new face. She had received donations from Anytime Fitness, Safeway and Michael Kite of California.

She's staying in a mental health facility in Vancouver in the meanwhile.

Remember, ladies: you have a beautiful face, and you probably don't need need a new one--and you certainly don't need to rub drain cleaner on yourself to get one.
