A MUM was left scarred for life after a thug bottled her on a night out when she rejected his advances.
Amy Thompson, 25, was out clubbing in South Shields when she was approached by Dean Sinclair.

The mum-of-one told the brute to leave her alone but he chillingly replied: “You don’t reject me.”
Sinclair then pushed Amy to the floor before smashing an empty bottle in her face.
She was left with a cut to her lip that will leave a permanent scar and lost a tooth in the horror attack.
Amy has now been left fuming after Sinclair avoided jail and was instead handed a suspended sentence.
The 36-year-old admitted causing grievous bodily harm but the court was told that although throwing the bottle was “highly reckless”, the level of injury caused was not intended.
Amy said: “It has completely diminished my confidence.
“I don’t smile the same because it hurts to do that. It is a constant reminder of what Dean has done to me.
“I am more fearful of leaving the house. Every time I go out I don’t enjoy myself as I am so worried about being attacked.
“The sentence doesn’t give me any confidence or sense of justice.
“I have a scar on my face that I am left with, I have to cake makeup on everyday to cover it up.
“He attacked me because he couldn’t stand being rejected, what message does that send to other men who react like this?”
Amy had been at Industry nightclub in July when Sinclair “propelled” her to the other side of the room during the “traumatic” attack.
Her partner ushered Amy out of the club and into a taxi where she was rushed to hospital.
Shocking pictures show the mum covered in blood and missing a tooth after the brutal attack.
She needed eight stitches to her lip and surgery to her missing tooth, which cost her £3,000.
Amy said: “I had a nerve hanging out of my gum which left me in excruciating pain, my root canal had to be removed as it was causing infection and had eight stitches.
“I was in so much pain while seeing a dentist that I passed out three times. The medical staff said they couldn’t believe the damage.
“I’m still left without a tooth as I need it to heal before getting a new one.”
The court was told Sinclair, who has 59 previous convictions, had been at a funeral that day and had drunk a lot of alcohol.
As well as a suspended sentence, he was ordered to take part in a rehabilitation programme and pay £4,000 compensation.
Amy said: “I’m fuming and I’m heartbroken. I’m absolutely in pieces. He’s stolen a piece of my life away from me, but I have got no justice.”
