Jasmine Clausell, 27, believed she was doing the right thing. When a woman she knew fell on hard times, Jasmine opened her home without hesitation. She offered shelter, safety, and stability — a place to rest and rebuild. Friends say that’s who Jasmine has always been: generous, trusting, and willing to help even when it inconvenienced her. But that act of compassion would end in violence. According to authorities, tensions rose after Jasmine asked the woman to leave her home. What should have been a difficult but ordinary conversation escalated into something far more sinister. Police say the suspect responded by throwing a corrosive liquid directly into Jasmine’s face, causing severe burns. Moments later, she allegedly threatened Jasmine with a gun before fleeing the scene.
The attack left Jasmine with serious facial injuries and damage to her eyes. She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors treated chemical burns and worked to stabilize her condition. The physical pain was immense — but the emotional shock may have cut even deeper.
The suspect has since been arrested and is facing multiple charges, including assault and weapons-related offenses. Investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the attack.
From her hospital bed, Jasmine spoke softly about the betrayal. “I’m not mad,” she said. “My feelings are hurt.”
Those words have resonated widely. Not rage. Not revenge. Just heartbreak.
Loved ones say Jasmine is focused on healing — both physically and emotionally — while grappling with the trauma of being attacked in her own home by someone she tried to help. Her story is now sparking conversations about boundaries, personal safety, and the risks that can sometimes accompany even the most well-intentioned acts of kindness.
What began as generosity ended in violence. But through unimaginable pain, Jasmine’s voice remains steady — wounded, but not hardened.
