Nadia Nakai speaks out about being ‘ugly shamed’

Speaking to TshisaLive, Nadia says that she tries to ignore online hate as best she can, but it does take its toll. “I don’t think I have totally got over it. I think I fool myself a lot, to be honest. I have been preaching self-worth because if I don’t it can affect my music. I have gone through a lot of media slashing and cyberbullying; I can’t say it has made me a better person. I think if any of it happened again, I’ll still be hurt.”
Nadia added that surrounding herself with positive people helps. “You need to find people who see the value in you when no one else does. People who feel you are worth it and will pass through this stormy period.”
