I wrecked the ceiling/ wall bringing down a sofa. I’m a new home owner so not sure how to fix this. I have the paint since we repainted everything.

Not sure if I should use the pink stuff or something else. Any suggestions?

EDIT - Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. I was able to rebuild the corner using spackle and have sanded it. I put on the first coat of paint and am quite confident this will look as if there were no damage at all.

Try to flatten the metal bead back into a 90 degree as best as you can(hammer with flat wood?) then shape with some Bondo or drywall mud, whatever looks good enough to you.

Once its painted again, you wont even notice if its not perfect.

Use spackle (drywall mud), not bondo. Sand, wash and paint.
