Jacinth’s enthusiastic reception by her fans, as well as her warm, down-to-earth approach to with them, is just one illustration of how she’s stealing hearts on her rise to fame.
In some ways, an alter-ego is Jacinth’s self-proclaimed “badass” who will get what she needs by any means necessary. **In these roles she is isolated and suspicious and uses every tool from her broken past to take care of herself, even at the cost of hurting others. Her rage, defensiveness, and relentless need for power and control are so intense because they hide her fragile vulnerability. Her role in Diary of a Badman shows some of these characteristics.
