Christy Mack tried to stay strong while testifying against her ex-boyfriend, War Machine, over the brutal attack that nearly killed her. However, as details of their troubled relationship were revealed, including plans to get a ‘sex slave,’ she couldn't help but break down in tears on the stand.
In a new interview with Us Weekly, Christy reveals how she is doing following her testimony. She says that she has been receiving a lot of love and support from friends and family – especially her mom.
‘It was really emotional for me when I testified because it wasn’t like something I had ever experienced before,’ explains Christy. ‘I was very emotional at first and then after it happened, I was so angry at him for what he did to me. But I’ve been trying to move on and take things one day at a time.’

HollywoodLife.com has learned that Las Vegas dentist, Dr. Adam Lousignont, has given Christy Mack temporary teeth for free following the injuries she sustained as a result of the August 8 incident.
Christy Mack, 23, suffered unimaginably on Aug 8, when her ex-boyfriend, War Machine, was found guilty of beating her to the point where he broke 18 bones in her face and knocked out several teeth. According to a police report, War Machine (aka Jon Koppenhaver) came to Mack's home in Hollywood, California, and allegedly attacked her after she rejected his relationship advances. He is currently serving a sentence in prison for his crime.
HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively that Las Vegas based dentist, Dr. Adam Lousignont, was so moved by Christy's story that he has given her free dental work, including temporary teeth. The good Samaritan has even offered to pay for all of Christy's medical bills related to her assault.
War Machine was initially released from jail on bail in July after being charged with three counts of assault with a firearm and two counts of criminal threats for attacking Christy. However, he went on the run after being released from jail and was eventually caught in Simi Valley, California, on Aug. 15. He was sentenced to four years in prison on Aug. 19 for the attack.
Christy Mack, a 23-year-old actress who was allegedly assaulted by her ex-boyfriend War Machine on Aug. 8, is still recovering from the attack which reportedly left her broken and injured in more than 18 places. As she continues to heal, Mack's two dogs Cleo and Swayzee are helping her with their sweet and unexpected messages. In fact, Mack took to Twitter on Aug. 16 to reveal how the "babies" were helping her through this difficult time. "My babies have sent me some love!!! They send me all the love! I feel like they know that I am hurting right now and want me to know that they love me too and want to help me!" she wrote in her tweet. While Mack has received many kind messages from friends and fans, another generous individual has stepped forward to offer his assistance. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Harrison H. Lee has offered to help Mack with facial reconstruction after she suffered 18 broken bones in the vicious assault. "It would be my pleasure to perform a surgery to restore the face as it was before the incident," he said in a statement provided to Us Weekly. "I understand the emotional trauma that such an event can cause and hope to make Christy whole again soon." The actor has yet to officially accept Dr. Lee's proposal, but she has expressed gratitude towards him for his willingness to help her during such a difficult time.
