After being removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house back in 2018 following use of a racial slur and further inappropriate behaviour, Rodrigo, before her transition, had run into trouble once again as she was arrested in Berlin for carrying an expired passport—in which her photograph was unrecognisable due to her many surgeries.

Jessica revealed:
I'm a huge supporter of gender equality and the new trend gender fluid—I regard myself as a gender fluid person.
I wear make-up and a corset which are made for the female, but I would like to change that and launch a new trend for the man. Wearing a corset under a blazer looks very elegant and helps with one's posture.
Jessica deleted Rodrigo Alves' Instagram to get a clean state. By doing so, she completely erased Rodrigo from this world. It was time for her to say goodbye to this other person.
Jessica is now living her truth.
