I love getting to travel. I love everything.’So I think challenges, for me, are just being around negative people—people who don’t appreciate what we’re doing or see that there’s a bigger picture to it.’Despite pursuing a career as a model, the star confessed she struggles with stage fright and hates the runway. ‘I’ve only done runway, like, five times at this point, and I’m horrible at it,’ she said. ‘I used to love being onstage, and I thought it would be the same, and it’s abso-f*****g-lutely not. It is the worst. It’s the worst feeling on the planet. ‘I don’t know why people do it to themselves. It’s horrifying.’Learning to not take any criticism to heart, Gabbriette added: ‘I know some people get severely affected by what’s being said about them, and I’ve just learned to laugh.’Earlier this month Gabriella turned heads as she celebrated her 29th birthday with Matty and friends at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.
