She also admitted that she will be biased in such situation because she will always be on her parents’ side. She also said they will be moving on from the case.
On her kidney condition, she revealed that she has lymphatic syndrome, which means her kidney is small with large holes. When asked if she was involved in the search for a kidney, she said she wasn’t, adding that it was basically her family that took care of everything. She also said that her father’s side were ruled out from donating because they have a history of kidney disease.
