It was constant.” She added that her explosion was not a nervous breakdown, “It was a nervous breakthrough.” She stated that the fans should not judge who she is according t a television show, which shows exciting moments to get ratings. . “This is me being a ‘Housewife’ on a television show,” she says. “This is not me in my real life.”
