This Was One Of The Reality Star’s Biggest Fears
A couple of years ago when Naomie was on Stassi Schroeder’s podcast, Straight Up With Stassi she talked about her fears. She said one of her biggest fears was losing a parent according to US Weekly. Naomie Olindo said, “I am scared of everything, this is true, but because I’m scared of everything, I have to be really brave and face all my fears.”
She says that actually helps her be more confident because she forces herself to be. She said, “I don’t know. I’m just a worry-wart, that’s who I am. My mom is the same way. I’ll stress about anything.” Naomie has found herself facing her worst fear. Naomie said, “There aren’t really words for this pain but I’m very thankful for the kindness and love our friends and family have shown my mom and me during the most difficult time of our life.”
