A businesswoman who owns an exclusive pink Ferrari has faced abuse and backlash from others after being involved in a car twist of fate and wants to talk about her experience.
Lisa Marie Brown was involved in a traumatic car accident in Cardiff on August 8 and is still suffering from the aftermath.
She said: “I was hit in the side and he pulled me out of my lane and I crashed into a tree. I was unconscious for a few seconds, had violent whiplash, shoulder disorders, back disorders, and a bad knee where I had been hit in the car. It was traumatic, the total experience. I had to go to the emergency room and it was probably one of the worst moments of my life because it was car and horrible. As it passed, the airbags went off. And when I got here I saw that the car was on fire, I wasn’t even sure what had happened.
Lisa is the founder of Pinkspiration, a company that provides training, workshops and training in the structural industry, as well as a director of P1NK Motorsports and Supercars, which claims to be the largest supercar network in Wales. As part of Lisa’s trademark, she wears pink and, until that August day, drove a bright pink Ferrari, easy to spot on the capital’s roads.
She told WalesOnline: “There’s so much fake news, like I’m driving drunk, which is not true because the police carried out a mandatory breathalyzer test at the scene of the twist of fate and the result was zero. Some of my enemies and trolls said I was filming at the time of the incident, which is also not true. They wrote about me on social media, sent me messages and emails, and I even won an eight-page hate letter.
“Some other people were saying things like ‘I wish she would die’, it’s horrible. It’s a surprise to me, it charges me a lot. I think his habit was born out of jealousy and the fact that a young woman with whom I had a pretty good life, they wanted to see me fall, that’s how I feel, we are in a society that is on the hunt for a tale of rise and fall.
“But I am a genuine user who has been working hard to give back to her network for over 20 years through projects and events to bring other people together and, most importantly, motivate young people and women to keep going. At the end of That Day I’d like to know what those other people have done for their local network. “
As the months went by, Lisa says she began to sink to the lowest point of her life, either emotionally or mentally. She said: “I struggled at Christmas and almost lost my business. I was at a very low point, constantly fighting with people, so I fell into a very depressed state. I think I slept for about two weeks almost directly because I was so exhausted that it was hard, a real challenge, just getting out of bed.
Despite the danger of backlash by speaking out against online harassment and toxic behavior, Lisa decided to shed light on what happened to her after the twist of fate and also share how she managed to overcome the abuse. She said, “I used this time as an opportunity to take some time for myself, rest, make an effort to recover, and with the help of some of my family members, just enjoy amazing things and not worry about the outside. “worldwide for a while.
“I can get through it by thinking about the little things that matter and appreciating the little things in life. To anyone going through something similar, I would say to step away from it for a while and focus on anything else. I found that walking, swimming, spending time with my family and assembly partners helped me.
“But I’m a fighter, so my message to haters would be to say: don’t you feel genuinely human at the end of those messages you’re targeting?And if you don’t have anything positive to say, then why?”Say?
