TheI Care A Lotstar appeared onTheEllen DeGeneresShowin March 2021, and revealed she doesn’t feel comfortable showing off any of her awards at home.

She continued, “I think it’s awkward so I bury it in the garden with a little bit showing up so you can have an enticing glimpse of a hand or the globe maybe.”
