She appears emaciated.
“I lost 12 kilos in all”
she declares to the facilitator before adding:
“There was the tour, I ate less and I was stressed.
I think the stress made me lose weight and then the Ménière crises from having it, from throwing up everything
.
Hoshi then describes his daily life with Ménière's disease:
“It makes me dizzy when seizures occur.
I lost 50% of my hearing, so I'm hard of hearing

Since then, she has been the victim of cyberbullying with hundreds of homophobic messages received.
"We don't live anymore.
I haven't been out on my own for three years.
Even today, I can't do it, even when going out with a hood”
she says on the set of “It starts today”.
She continues:
"Several times, I locked myself in and said
'
I quit
'
and it was not easy, neither for my label, nor for my entourage and my family
".
