Jenny now took to her social media platform to share how she was receiving weird messages on her lifestream right before the attack.
“I still remember when I was live streaming there was someone in my comments, a fake account, that was asking me where I was. They were persistent to know where I was,” she said.
“They were also asking me why I had my sunglasses on indoors and they were telling me to take my sunglasses off and I said no to them.
“Now that this has unfolded I am understanding the whole situation.”
Detective Acting Inspector Sean West called the attack 'completely unacceptable' and an investigation is underway into why she was targeted.
"We don't know exactly what the acid is at this stage, other than it is acidic," he said. "Some of our police also had some minor injuries, which, luckily for them, [needed] no more than some first-aid treatment.
"We are aware of a video that's being circulated, and that's one of many lines of inquiry.
"We are aware and are in the process of getting our hands on that."

NSW Ambulance Inspector Andrew Bibby added: "When paramedics arrived, this patient was very distressed and appeared to be struggling to breathe. Her face was quite swollen as a result of the chemical substance which was also impacting her vision.
"A chemical burn to any part of the body is extremely concerning, let alone to a person's face. Of all the injuries paramedics attend, burns can be the most painful and difficult to manage."
"A facial burn can also have life-changing consequences such as blindness and horrendous scarring."
