As a result, regular people didn’t react too kindly to her out in public.
“It was like a social experiment.
People would cross the street to get away from me.
Sometimes, people would outright avoid her in the street.

She explained, “I always imagined I’d get married in a red dress.
So, the white dress was already off the table.”
Getting rid of the stuff can be a problem, however, as she explained toNoovie.
It’s really hard to get off!”

It’s very therapeutic, because I am the most anxious introvert ever.
I have terrible socialanxiety."
Weaving admitted she hates doing press, too, describing it as “truly terrifying.”
She also noted, “I can’t confront anyone.
I can’t remember the last time I got mad at someone.
