“We were talking about being ashamed publicly and I was like, ‘Well, my situation doesn’t compare, I’m not even going to start comparing it to yours,'” said Olivia on TikTok in March 2021. “And she looked at me and said, ‘Olivia, it doesn’t matter if I’m drowning in 18 meters of water and you’re drowning in 30, we are both still drowning.’ “
