'I felt like life had gone kibinimat': Diane Schwartz talks about the difficult year after Big Brother | Israel Hayom

A year ago, Diane Schwartz, 24, drew all the focus and slime that had been spilled in the previous season of Big Brother.

Almost every moment of her on screen served as an example of how not to behave in a human environment. She confronted other participants, shouted, humiliated, abused, boycotted, and more. It attracted ratings, but did a disservice to the model from Kiryat Gat.

The internet turned on her, fashion brands disavowed her, ostracized her and slandered her. A year after being crowned the most hated person in the country, Schwartz wants to be redeemed from the image that clung to her, and in an interview that will be published this weekend in the "Shabbat" supplement, she promises: I have changed.

"I realized that I had to take responsibility for what came out of my mouth. I asked for forgiveness from the viewers who should have seen these atrocities on television. Appalling what I did there. After the program, I didn't leave the house for a month. I hid. I didn't eat. I lost 4 pounds, I was severely depressed. Because of the amount of hate online, I was really scared to go out on the street.

I felt that my life was going kibinimat, that everything I had built in 6 years had gone down the drain. But I rose from the dead and today I am here after they eulogized me, after they told me to commit suicide and I did not commit suicide, after they told me to leave the country and I did not leave the country. There are many other sides to Diane that they haven't seen yet."

"I did not repent"

In an emotional interview, Schwartz returns to the trauma left on her by the reality show, talks about a toxic relationship that she claims affected the relationship she developed on the show, updates on the new boyfriend, reveals sexual harassment from lingerie shoots and clarifies that she has not yet repented.

"I keep walking around in a bathing suit, my words have been distorted. I have not repented and I do not define myself as a modest dresser. I read Psalms, light candles and burn about going to Jerusalem. Getting closer to religion is amazing and how good Hashem is, and I feel like Kiddush Hashem. I see religion as something beautiful and I drew strength from it during the difficult period, but extremism in every field sucks."

Said the most extreme girl who has ever been on Big Brother. "As extreme as it gets. There were days. It was fun."
