USA – Annet Artani (2006 Cyprus entrant) spoke openly about the abuse she experienced from her partner and the sexual exchanges that her manager asked her. The singer we met on Fame Story and now living abroad spoke on SKAI TV about all the difficult moments she has dealt with so far and sent her own message to all victims of abuse.
 
“The song we will release has to do with the power of women. Unfortunately in America, we are behind on the issue of women,” said Annet Artani at first, adding: “I was in a bad position. I could not breathe. If I did not go back to my mother I felt I would run away. Because of him I stayed away from my family. Many men do not understand and say “if it was so bad why did you stay”. “When the other person has entered your mind, it makes you feel that you are to blame for everything”, she said about her ex-partner who abused her. “It was a disaster when I left. My neighbour called the police. He heard me bang my head on the floor. I went into hiding and did not say anything to anyone. I cried all the way, but I was relieved that I left. “
 
Then, talking about the manager who asked her for love, she said:
“I met a manager who was an athlete. He was about to sign a contract and he asked me for something else. It was an asshole and I was half a portion. He approached and I stopped him at the end, with a lot of force, but with a fear that if I said no I would offend him. Although he insulted me by putting me in this position. There were other cases where he tried hard and in the end, I ran and I was afraid he would make me feel bad. Many women are afraid that if they say something, the other person will destroy them. Do not be afraid. I am not shy. “I do not blame myself for what happened to me.”

CYPRUS 🇨🇾 Following the release of EL DIABLO the sound immediately forwarded our minds to LADY GAGA's Alejandro and Bad Romance. As if this was not enough to harm the image of the Cyprus delegation, the music video proved to be a complete copy of ZARA LARSSON's LOVE ME LAND. Social media got on fire and Zara herself mocked the entire song. Cyprus was completely humiliated tonight! Congratulations CyBC... 6 0
