TikToker Mikayla Nogueira addresses past comments about influencer work

She also noted that her job is “not at all” more difficult than that of a neurosurgeon or a teacher, saying, “Anyone who’s watched me every day knows that I bloody love my job.”

Mikayla went on to promise to “express her gratitude” but announced that she would be taking a break from content creation to focus on treating her “deteriorating” mental health. “I’ll definitely be back,” she promised, before noting that her hiatus was unrelated to the recent online drama. “I don’t want to lose myself completely, you know? So I’m going to go away for a while. I will go for treatment. I’m going to get help because my depression is just bad.’

Mikayla added: “I just want to be the best Mikayla that I can be and I’m not a very good version of myself right now.”
