“I think today’s panel is super important. We’re going to be there with Ju, at this wonderful BODY event, and it has everything to do with me too. I loved that she included me in a theme that’s about this: us having self-care, and having the limits of self-care too, as I’m someone who’s been through this a lot. So when she invited me, I immediately said ‘wow, the panel has everything to do with me, and we’re definitely going to rock it'”, he stated.
Regarding the period in which she was heavily criticized on the internet, Gkay recognized the emotional impact of the charges and judgments: “Ah, I think that for sure, we who work on the internet, with this public life, no matter how much we learn to deal with haters, it’s not comfortable, right. We always have someone talking about our appearance, talking about something that’s wrong, something that we don’t like. So, I think the word is not suffering, but that discomfort that we feel. And always thinking ‘my God, I’m doing something wrong, something is happening’, because there’s so much rejection, you know.”
The actress and influencer also said that therapy was essential in dealing with the ups and downs of her career. “Ah, that’s for sure. But I think that therapy has been around since the early days of the internet. Because I think that in fact everyone needs therapy, right. Thank God there are many programs that are also free today, where you can get therapy. So I advise it to everyone. I put my mother in therapy, my brother, everyone, to treat it like this from the root”, he revealed
Closing the conversation, Gkay reflected on how he learned to deal with public judgments over time: “Once even Carlinhos Maia told me something that stuck in my head, he said: ‘the name Gkay, he’s good to say, that name invites us to talk about him.’ Now I’m used to it, but thank God we learn to deal with it, and I’m having a really good time too.”
