She told the publication: "This is still new for me trying to adjust to such an uncomfortable thing but unfortunately yes, the cameras were there.

“I still had a month left of shooting when my personal life kind of exploded.

"It's not a comfortable thing to live in front of everyone. If I'm being 100% honest with you, it's friggin' awkward.
