In her podcast called Playing-A-Round, she said that she used to get bullied at school because of her hair loss, and that created a sense of low self-esteem. She addressed the backlash that she received, she said,

“What people don’t prepare you for, is when they name you the ‘sexiest woman alive’, you have hundreds of thousands of people telling you why you SHOULDN’T be the sexiest woman alive. I mean it’s such an exciting thing..and I don’t think everyone should say ‘she is the sexiest woman alive. I don’t even think that I am!”

She said it has been “highs and lows of emotion” since the announcement. She continued,

“I’ve been bullied my entire life. I get slut shamed, I get harassed, I get death threats for wearing the stuff that I do. No one ever looks at the person I am or the good work that I do. People say these things and think they’re funny or it has no effect on that person and think words don’t mean anything but words cut deep, they really do.”

She still doesn’t believe that she got the title, she said, “How am I named this when Angelina Jolie exists in this world?” She continued talking about the messages,

“So I’m already feeling a bit insecure about everything and then you have thousands of people being like ‘you’re ugly, you’re fat, you’re this, you’re that’. It’s like okay, am I?! It’s been days of feeling these intense ups and downs, wanting to be excited about [the award] but also having these emotions. People were asking ‘why aren’t you tweeting about the US Open’, and I was like, I cannot open social media right now”
