Charleen Murphy has been open about a “vicious attack” which took place in February 2023.
A man reportedly approached Charleen from behind and “punched her full force to the back of the head”.
The man appeared in Dublin District Court following the attack. The court heard that Charleen’s head rebounded off a glass in front of her when she was punched, resulting in a two-inch laceration to the right side of her face.
Now three years on, Charleen is reflecting on the horrendous incident.

She shared a post writing: “Today marks 3 years ago since I was attacked.
“I honestly can’t believe just how much time has passed. On this date the past 2 years I felt so angry and sad for my past self and although that hasn’t gone away, today I also feel proud.
“Today is a day I take to reflect and to allow myself to feel proud of how far I’ve come. Proud that I learned to trust the world again and go on my solo travels, proud of the softness I protected and proud of the person I have become in the process.”
She went on to say: “I owe so so much to my people around me who picked me up even on days they didn’t realise it & to all of you who support me always, I’m forever grateful.
“If you’re going through something that’s taken pieces of you, that’s made you feel smaller or lost or broken , please know this: you are still whole and you are still here. With time, care and support, you WILL find yourself and happiness again & you will be even better than before!!
“Here’s to finding peace,happiness & taking back my power.”
We love to see this!
