“I knew I was a girl of blood and milk, but she didn’t deal with it and was content,” said Mašková in the program Spotlight Aktuálně.cz with the fact that everything changed during participation in the Czech Slovakia has talent competition.
Unfortunately, she also encountered comments from viewers that were not flattering at all and insulted her and her appearance. “You’re fat, you look like a bulldog, like Shrek,” she said she read it then. Logically, it took quite a toll on her, she began to doubt herself and then it progressed to an eating disorder.
“Vomiting and bulimia as such did not appear for me until I was at the conservatory. I was trying to lose weight before and there were already signs of anorexia nervosa, where you keep reducing your food intake. But then I wanted to look like my classmates, and it seemed to me that the easiest way was to throw up after eating.” the singer with pink hair described.
She said she can’t claim that the cantors told her directly that she was fat, but she felt some hints on the subject. “You are more spatially expressive, you may find it more difficult to assert yourself in the theater,” she heard for example. But even then she started to have other problems due to bulimia. “The body is then like an automaton. You eat the apple, but the body knows it won’t stay there.” stated Tereza, saying that during their studies they also had 12 hours of dancing and she was already enormously lacking any energy.
“I kind of got over it, but it’s still kind of in your head,” feels like a singer who is said to be successful if she manages to throw up only two or three times a year and otherwise live normally. By the time she got the offer to StarDance, her problems started creeping back. She began to exercise more and lose weight to cope with the pressure of the competition and to look good in short skirts, but during StarDance she lost weight and wanted “more”, so in addition to training, she also ran ten kilometers a day and reduced her food intake. Despite the fact that she continued to sing, she was preparing a big concert in Lucerne and acted in a musical. Unfortunately, the vomiting also reappeared.
“I was at it again, the body started to defend itself, it got so stressed about whether it would get something to eat, whether it would go out, that it developed chronic inflammation of the eyes. With that pressure, with my head, excuse me, in the toilet bowl, I had a monocle, as if someone had given me a bomb,” the winner of the fifth season of the singing competition confided Czech Slovak SuperStarwhich went after StarDance out with the truth and admitted to fans that she was not well. He is now going to therapy and trying to get his disease under control. “I’m afraid I’ll never really get rid of it.” he is afraid.
She also talked about what could threaten her and how she tries to fight. For example, she wrote down on the fridge everything that could happen to her if she continued to vomit. “Those neck conditions are crazy, but you don’t realize it. You don’t think at all about the consequences – that your teeth are showing, that you might lose your voice, that you’ll scratch your neck in such a way that you might spit blood. And you don’t care. All you care about is being beautiful,” she described the sad truth about bulimia for Aktuálně.cz. She strongly hopes that by talking about everything publicly, she might be able to help other girls and women who feel the same way.
