In the podcast, what the influencer said that has also been fished out in the form of criticism in the last week was: “For me, whoever does the biggest job, the hardest I’ve seen to date, is a role model. One might think that the boy from the fields suffers more, but he has his commitments and goes home happy”.

In her post, Priscilla, without mentioning Karen’s name, claimed that she had filed an employment lawsuit against her former employer.
The young woman accuses the blogger of moral harassment and of having to carry out activities outside her working environment: “What struck me is not only the cause of the work. What struck me a lot was in those six months that I was with this person, I was psychologically tortured and the person knew from the start that I was going through a bad patch.”

“Today I came to react to the bullshit I said on the internet and retract, apologize for them. It was absurd bullshit, which shouldn’t have been said, but it happened (…) It was a very elitist view. I meant to live with less. But of course it’s much easier for me, who have privileges and money, to say I want to backpack with clothes for two or three months if I have somewhere to go back,” he said.

“The statements of a recently published video, a video that has gone viral and which has been posted in many places, had already been challenged before the Justice and the judge declared that I did not commit such conduct (…) These are things that it hasn’t happened by the way it’s counting and this has already been proven in court and the case has already been concluded,” he concluded.
