I have seen and had more than a few black eyes, thats her eye make up running (which makes sense, she was no doubt crying) and not a black eye, there is no swelling in the nose or on the lid, and those little veins that show on the lid when you get one are not there.
I think there is another answer to the backwards B though, I think its entirely possible that some crackhead fiend who relies on robbing helpless kids at ATM machines may very well be illiterate and could have made the B backwards without even realizing it.
I am not convinced one way or the other, this one is a little odd, but I think it’s more plausible she was attacked than not.
I’ve posted the makeup thing about a dozen times now...oh well. There is black under both eyes, however, the one on the side of the “B” has less. I guessing she washed off the smeared makeup on that side so the “B” was more clearly viisble in the photo. I’ve not read where she claims she was punched in the eye. I think people just assumed she was because her dark eye makeup is smeared on her face.
I’m not saying the story is true or not. Just that it can’t be discounted simply because what is clearly smeared makeup leads some to believe she is faking a black eye.
