“I won’t hide: there were certainly advantages. But if we talk about the disadvantages, there were also a lot of them,” she admitted. “When so much attention is focused on you, when you have a huge responsibility for every action, word or step, it creates serious psychological pressure.”

“Besides, I was not ready then for the criticism of thousands of people and did not immediately realize a simple thing: no matter what you do, it is impossible for everyone to look equally good,” she added.
