Genevieve Mazari gave a comprehensive interview and talked about her childhood and her parents, her career and her battle with depression.
The GNTM art director was a guest on Grigoris Arnaoutoglou's show and first, she talked about her career in television.
"I like television, I like to create. I don't consider myself a presenter because I'm in front of the camera. It's a different role for me. Also, I think that projects should not be tied to personalities," she said.
Asked what she would do if she were to accept another offer for the modeling competition, where we have seen her in recent years, she replied that at the moment, she has not been offered anything, but she would now prefer to create a show and not be in front of the camera. She revealed, however, that there are talks about a next cycle of GNTM.
She then talked about her battle with depression, which intensified especially after the death of her mother. "After my mom died, it was clear, I was a different person. Genevieve before mom's death and Genevieve after are two different characters, I miss the old me. She will never go back," she said.
As she explained, the lockdown didn't help her mental state at all. "The lockdown crippled me. I never hid my grief from my children. It's imperative to tell them the truth when you're having a hard time mentally. But it was still terribly difficult to stay calm so as not to scare them. I have now learned to accept my grief, to accept what is happening to me, to do my exercises, to be open to grief. She is my new best friend and she will always stay with me."
Genevieve Mazari also explained that since the death of her mother, she has been seeing a psychologist to try to cope with her grief. "I have been going since 2007. I lost my world. My mom was not just my mom. She was my best friend, I didn't need to have friends because I was also a very weird person and closed off. My mom was my whole world," she said.
As for her husband, Vasilis, she said that for her, he is the best person. In fact, she explained that she is very possessive and jealous of him, unlike him.
If she remembers one piece of advice her mother gave her about men, it was to always make sure she is independent. "The one thing my mother used to tell me in relation to men is 'never eat with a man who prides himself on feeding you'. In my house, women had to be autonomous and if a man bought us a drink he should like it, not turn around and say I bought her a drink," she said.
At that point in her interview, she revealed where the name "Rosalia" they gave their daughter came from. The couple has had another son.
"Every morning when Santa wakes up, he sings, no matter what happened the night before. It's his defense, I guess. On my last vacation with my mom he sang "Rosa, Rosalia" and my mom and I are on the balcony and he says to me: "Are we sure that's Santa Claus? Can I be quiet? Is he your great love? Remember, I really like Rosalia as a name." My mom leaves and five years later, I get pregnant. From the pregnancy test I knew I had a daughter. I was itching to tell Basil that we were going to name it Rosalia and also give my mom's name Maria, so Rosalia - Maria. When we got to the ultrasound and found out we had a daughter I told him we were going to name her Rosalia, I saw him blush and get emotional. Rosalia he tells me is my grandmother's name. Shock me. He hung up immediately. And in fact, at some point, rummaging through some things, he found his grandmother's identity and we discovered that her middle name is Maria," Genevieve Mazari described.
