"First, I would like to focus on you kind supporters who have followed my family from day one, nearly 11 years ago. Thank you, I am grateful for your support. May bountiful blessings be bestowed onto you in this new year," she wrote.

"I will try to share far more frequently with you all this year; and in addition, elucidate misconceptions from my past. 2020 marks the seventh year since escaping the false life I was leading; forging on, building a better life for my family. I made a decision to repudiate all requests from tabloid type media (despite how lucrative the offer), as my goal is to progress, and publish my full true story."

"The powerful media indoctrinated fragmented pieces of false narrative into the public’s minds, consequently creating a false identity from 2009-2013. Refrain from judging me solely based on the (struggling to survive) season you happened to walk in on.

"One of the greatest opportunities I’ve had (other than speaking at UCLA school of medicine), has been participating in a doctoral students research for her dissertation on “The Traumatic Impact of Media Humiliation, Misrepresentation, and Victim-Shaming on Narrative Identity and Well-being.” This experience has been enlightening as I never perceived myself as a “victim,” though the trauma I’ve endured has been indescribable.
Despite the pain of my past, I’ve chosen to use my struggles as stepping stones, promoting my pursuit of achieving the goals I’ve set for my family. #HappyNewYear #NewBeginnings"

The important thing is that Nadya is happy and her kids look healthy and happy as well.
