Singer Zhanna Bergendorff Reveals Childhood Trauma, Expresses Forgiveness Amidst Rising Profile
Sofia, Bulgaria – Singer Zhanna Bergendorff, recently performing at the “Mrs. Black Sea” contest and scheduled to appear at “Swinging Hall” in the capital this Friday, has publicly shared details of a deeply traumatic childhood, revealing experiences of abandonment and abuse. Despite these hardships, Bergendorff expressed gratitude towards her mother and a resilient outlook on life.
Bergendorff, known for her performance style - described as embodying “Ariel” with a long green dress and striking makeup at the recent contest - has largely avoided media interviews, preferring to communicate directly with fans through social networks. Recent speculation regarding a romantic relationship with Svetoslava Petkova remains unconfirmed, though the two are described as close friends and mutual supporters. The singer has previously acknowledged attraction to both sexes, stating, ”The question is not that when there is love, it is felt, regardless of gender.”
The artist disclosed a history of being abandoned by her mother at an orphanage for six years and enduring physical abuse at the hands of her mother’s partners. “I don’t know if I will survive,” Bergendorff stated, acknowledging the ongoing impact of these experiences. However, she also offered a surprising viewpoint, expressing gratitude to her mother for “making her” who she is today and asserting her ability to manage her life independently.
“We cannot blame our parents for the choices they made. What they could do, they did. We can only learn from our own mistakes,” Bergendorff said, demonstrating a philosophy of acceptance and personal responsibility.
Despite a challenging past, Bergendorff continues to pursue her musical career, recently performing popular pop songs at the “Mrs. Black Sea” event. She maintains a focus on her art and the relationships she values.
