*DeAndre Hopkins’ mom is visually impaired after being assaulted in an acid attack in 2002, and she’s set to be the subject of a new film.
Sabrina Greenlee is also getting candid about the day a woman threw a mixture of lye and bleach on her after learning her boyfriend was cheating with Greenlee. In 2013, she told USA Today that her boyfriend “left me there to die.”
“He left me there to die,” Greenlee said. “All my skin came off of my body. I was laying out there, dying. There was blood all over this woman’s store.”
Today, she is blind in her right eye, with 60% sight in her left eye. Savannah Carlita Grant, the woman responsible for the attack, pleaded guilty to assault and battery with intent to kill and was sentenced to 20 years in a South Carolina penitentiary, according to USA Today.

In a trailer for her ESPN Cover Story, Greenlee, who runs a non-profit domestic violence campaign, recalls, “I remember laying there, just thinking, ‘This is it.’ A white curtain comes over my eyes and I’m going blind.”
27-year-old Hopkins, who was 10 at the time, tells ESPN, “I was young, I didn’t understand how big the situation was, I didn’t know my mom wasn’t ever going to be able to see.”
His mother’s ESPN Cover Story will publish on Wednesday and will also cover their close bond.
“My mom has always put everyone before herself and sacrificed things unimaginable,” said the Houston Texans wide receiver. “Now it’s time for people to see her true value and learn that giving up is not an option.”
Variety previously reported that the true-life feature film about Greenlee will focuses on a “young, single mother who is attacked and left for dead and finds herself in a battle to change the course of her life and stay on the new path she’s created for herself and her four children.”
