Three months on from the car crash that killed her on/off partner Jake McLean, TOWIE’s Yazmin Oukhellou talks being trolled for living her life, survivor’s guilt and trying to get over trauma.
The photos on Yazmin Oukhellou’s Instagram suggest an enviably glamorous life spent in the most beautiful locations. Her hair and make-up are immaculate, her outfits carefully curated.
But social media is nothing if not smoke and mirrors – and the glossy pictures don’t always tell the real story.
They don’t tell of the meltdowns, panic attacks, nightmares and flashbacks that are part of TOWIE star Yazmin’s life now, three months on from the horrific car crash in Turkey that killed her on/off boyfriend Jake McLean, 33.
Her physical scars are healing, but the mental recovery is a far more painstaking and harrowing process. In the days and weeks following the accident, Yazmin would torture herself over whether it might have been better if she’d died too.
