Gal Rubin reveals in tears: The price of staying in the "Big Brother" house
The "Big Brother" winner shared with her followers the painful treatment she underwent following alopecia, revealed what she says caused the condition, and harshly criticized some of the housemates after re-watching the season's episodes.
About a month and a half after her victory on "Big Brother," Gal Rubin shared with her followers on Instagram her personal struggle with alopecia, which she says developed following the pressure and stress she experienced during her time in the house.
In a story she uploaded, Rubin said that she underwent a treatment that was not easy for her emotionally:
"I just did the alopecia treatment now, everything is flooding back. The reason for dealing with alopecia – the pressure, the stress. And it is not the most pleasant treatment, and with every injection I just burst into tears."
Later in the story, she also addressed watching the episodes of the show after leaving the house:
"I am also watching the episodes. Shocked and disappointed by the people there. By everyone who dared to interpret the good I displayed there in the face of people who were predatory to an unreasonable degree. To see and not believe."
Rubin added a personal reflection: "How naive I was there in situations, how innocent and disconnected... but thanks to that I succeeded. The optimistic angle that does not look for the negative interpretation. And now, I have learned the truth through the episodes and the viewing. And it is not simple. Even more than being inside the event. Thank God for the good and for the bad."
In another story, she revealed a picture of her scalp, where areas of hair loss are visible: "This is what I am treating." Alongside the picture, she added: "Bald spots called alopecia caused by stress. My gift from 3 and a half months of low-quality social life. And I am being gentle."
As recalled, already last month Rubin updated that she is dealing with focal alopecia, and noted that it is hair loss that appeared following the stress and that there has been an improvement in her condition.
