ANGELINA JOLIE SAYS SHE HASN'T FELT FREE IN YEARS
Sahar Tabar appeared on Iranian Channel Two (IRTV2) about a month after she was detained on charges of blasphemy, inciting violence, gaining income through inappropriate means and encouraging the corruption of young people.

IRTV2 pointed out that Tabar was the only child of a divorced couple and that she “could have been in university by now” if not for her “strange” online persona.
“My childhood dream was to become famous,” Tabar said, her face blurred. “I saw people were following what I did and, when the likes grew, I felt I was doing the right thing.”

She later revealed the shocking, emaciated look was actually created with the help of makeup and digital editing. Last year, she shared an image with her tens of thousands of followers showing what she actually looks like.
