“I won’t tell anybody close to me to go for Big Brother,” she said.
“If you’re not mentally strong, don’t go. After the show, I had anxiety, it got worse. I couldn’t go to places alone. I can give hugs, but I can’t receive them.”
The former housemate emphasized that the emotional pressure, public scrutiny, and sudden exposure that come with the show can be mentally exhausting, especially for individuals who are not psychologically prepared.
