She left the competition midway /Jonida Maliqi reveals for the first time the reason behind her decision to leave “Ferma VIP”

Jonida Maliqi has spoken for the first time after her unexpected departure from the TV show “Ferma VIP,” revealing the reasons that led her to leave the competition midway. Invited to the studio, the singer opened up about her experience inside the farm, describing it as far more emotionally challenging than she had anticipated.

She explained that she did not enter the show to play strategically or to “play a game,” but simply to be herself, emphasizing that her authenticity often did not align with the dynamics created in the farm. According to Jonida, the constant pressure and the energy of the other contestants had a direct impact on her emotional state.

“I didn’t play a game, I was more real than ever,” she said, adding that she experienced anxiety during her stay. She admitted that at times she felt overwhelmed and suffocated by the atmosphere, which made her reconsider continuing in the competition.

Another factor that influenced her decision was that she no longer felt at peace in that environment. She made it clear that her mental health and personal well-being were more important than staying in the game until the end.

Jonida Maliqi’s departure came as a surprise to the public, as she was considered one of the strongest and most outspoken figures on the show. However, her interview shed light on a reality often unseen on screen: the intense emotional pressure experienced by participants in reality shows.

With this decision, she chose to prioritize herself, bringing an end to an experience that, according to her, was no longer healthy for her.

30 apartments in the “Arlis” complex were destroyed, including the home of an Albanian model: “Thank you for the messages.”

Among the 30 apartments that were destroyed by the massive fire that engulfed the “Arlis” complex two days ago is also the home of well-known Albanian model Gloria Meshi. The news was confirmed by the model herself, who reacted on her Instagram page, stating that the fire that swept through the complex also burned down her home.

She added that fortunately she and her family are in good health.

“Hello, thank you for every message you have sent me regarding the fire. My family and I are well, thank God. Due to the fire in my building and my home, it will be impossible for me to post in the coming days about my active collaborations, except for what I had already prepared two days ago,” the model wrote in her statement.

Further on, Gloria shared details from the terrifying moment that residents experienced as their homes burned before their eyes.

She added that firefighters did everything possible to rescue people who were trapped inside their apartments, emphasizing that they were working in very poor conditions.

“I have seen news and comments about firefighters and police officers, but no one knows how much they risked their lives and in what difficult working conditions they were. They were all extremely kind and compassionate to everyone in that situation. A huge thank you to all of them. Seven of them were suffocated and taken to the emergency room, at least those I saw. Many of their helmets, which can withstand up to 1200 degrees, were melted. The fire was very strong and there was extremely heavy smoke. Before you comment, say thank you to those who risk their lives for such a low salary,” the model added in her second reaction.

This morning, new details emerged regarding the massive fire that destroyed part of the “Arlis” complex. According to footage secured from surveillance cameras in the area, the incident is suspected to have been caused by several minors.

Selin: It’s one detail I didn’t want to shout about or use as a weapon. Yes, I’m 23. Life and the way I’ve lived have helped me become more mature.

Blendi: What do you miss from your normal life?

Selin: I’m a sporty person—I miss nature and walks. I play tennis and do various activities. I also miss “Willy,” my Maltese dog.

Blendi: Your most beautiful moment?

Selin: The story with Gimbo—his arrival. Even though I tried to hide it, I immediately realized we had chemistry. In my wedding speech, I said we were meant for each other.

Blendi: What do you like about Gimbo?

Selin: First, that he is supportive—he has shown it here too. He has supported me. He’s very romantic; I’m not like that, but I want my partner to be.

The Strongman of Greece / This Is Alket Rizai, Who Became Famous for His Prison Escapes and Deeds—Even Inspiring Songs Dedicated to 

Alket Rizai, one of the most well-known Albanian prisoners in Greece, is famous for his dramatic prison escapes and controversial life story. “I sang about Alket Rizai because he is considered a hero here in Greece. He is brave and has done crazy things both inside and outside prison,” rapper Tus once said. It remains to be seen how successful the project will be in Greece, but it is certain that the song has already gained attention in Albania.

Who is Alket Rizai?

Alket Rizai was born on May 24, 1978, in Ballsh. At the age of 16, he moved to Greece in search of work. He became widely known as the Albanian who escaped twice from Greek prisons using a helicopter—an act that made headlines internationally.

He was the youngest of three brothers and was described as a well-behaved child. He had a strong passion for electronics, which he might have turned into a profession if his life had taken a different path. From the age of 10, he would dismantle and reassemble electronic devices.

Rizai spent his early childhood in the village of Kalenjë, where he lived with his relatives. At the age of six, he returned to his hometown to begin school, but he never completed high school, as he left for Greece.

In addition to Albanian, Rizai reportedly speaks five foreign languages. He carried out two helicopter escapes from Korydallos Prison. He later attempted a third escape by taking six prison officers hostage at Malandrinos Prison.

He is currently serving his sentence in prison.

“I haven’t had a relationship until today,” Brikena clashes with Edisa, former contestant: “Liar, I have extra information.”

A heated clash occurred between Brikena and Edisa on Fan Club. The two former contestants of Big Brother VIP Albania 5 have had tensions before, even inside the house, with Edisa accusing Brikena of being fake.

She also claimed during the show that Brikena had a relationship outside the house—a theory she continued to defend on “Fan Club.”

Part of the debate:

Brikena: “In my life, I’ve never wanted to talk about this. I’ve simply said that I haven’t had any relationship until now. My relationship with Mateo has been one of my first.”

Edisa: “Liar!”

Brikena: “I haven’t had other relationships. If I’ve exchanged messages with someone, it was just to get to know them. Up to today, I haven’t had a relationship. I don’t want to go into that topic at all.”

Edisa: “I stand by the same opinions I had before. In fact, they’ve become even stronger because I’ve received extra information, and if Brikena wants, I can share it. But I’m a good girl. Don’t mislead the public more than you already have. Be yourself, because people will appreciate you even more. That Brikena with the jokes and memes seems much more interesting to me compared to the Brikena who tried to act a certain way during her journey in Big Brother.”

Brikena: “I don’t take advice from someone who needs advice themselves.”

HAVE MORE THAN 5.6 MILLION FANS/ TIKTOK TURNS COLLEGE GYMNAST INTO MILLIONAIRE — AT AGE 19

Who knew handstands could pay so well? A college gymnast has summersaulted her way into the millionaire’s club after flaunting her floor skills on TikTok. Olivia Dunne, 19, has racked up more than 5.6 million fans on the social media app, and has companies clamoring to offer her endorsement deals. The backflipping blonde — who tumbles for Louisiana State University — began capitalizing on her social media success last June after the NCAA voted to lift Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) restrictions, which had prohibited college athletes from profiting off themselves.

Last August, Dunne signed with WME Sports — the same agency that represents Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic — and has made more than $1 million in the 12 months since.
