Lustre then shared that she got bullied when she was young. With the bullying she received from her childhood, she learned how to be strong, she became bulletproof.
However, the actress expressed her concern for others that may not be as strong as her.
She wrote, “I’m very much concerned for people who don’t have the same mental and emotional load as me.”

Lately, Nadine Lustre had struggle amid the pandemic just like everyone else.
Aside from its effects, Lustre broke up with her boyfriend James Reid in January 2020. After their breakup, she had a feud with then-suspended DZMM anchor Jobert Sucaldito for undermining her depression. It was after his colleague Ricky Lo published a story against Lustre. The journalist blamed the actress’s health condition as the reason why she and Reid broke up.
After the breakup and the feud, Lustre then had troubles with her former agency, Viva, before becoming independent. It can be recalled that Viva Artist Agency (VAA) filed a lawsuit against her.
But after leaving the agency, Lustre expressed a sigh of relief as she is finally free. In an interview, the actress said that leaving VAA gave her the chance to finally do what she wants.
“Before, there were so many things that I couldn’t do. I was branded differently, you know, the usual artista where everyone has to look up to you like you’re a saint, which I’m not,” she said.
“I was able to dress the way that I want, I was able to put out things that are up to the quality that I want. Before, there were so many limitations.”
