28 years ago, Carmen Jiménez, from Spain, Madrid, went blind due to a serious eye injury. At least that’s what she told everyone, including her family. Why did she lie to everyone? The reason is truly unbelievable.
The 57-year-old woman recently revealed that her vision is perfect, which left all family members in deep shock, even though they had long suspected that something was wrong with her illness. The woman’s husband told reporters that she always wore perfect make-up and that she sometimes caught her trying to watch TV out of the corner of her eye, but she never admitted that she saw it until now.
Why would anyone want all acquaintances to think she’s been blind for almost three decades? Here is what Carmen herself says: “I was exhausted to always recognize new people on the street and to stop always saying hello, I was never a very sociable person, and pretending to be blind was the perfect way I could avoid many social responsibilities “, according to the Hay Noticia website.
Apart from having to explain to her family how and why she lied to them for decades, Carmen could now even have legal problems because she registered as a blind person and received social assistance from the state for this type of disability…
The news about the huge and strange lie that went viral on Spanish sites, both in Europe and in South America, has appeared everywhere, but I am not convinced that it is completely real. How could anyone pretend to be blind? Does the government not test people before giving them help for a disability? The news appeared on “Hay Noticia”, then it was taken over by all the sites as a true story. If it turns out to be real, it will definitely be the craziest thing anyone has ever done…
