In one podcast interview a coupe of months back, Pebetsi said the challenges she faced at home had a huge impact on her life. She felt like she never did good enough in school and was never beautiful enough. In the same interview, she also opened up about how a close relative’s behavior had impacted her life in all areas.
Pebetsi said her close relative, who was battling with alcoholism, affected her since she did not want her friends to come over and visit because she was fearful of how he would behave in front of them.
