Her Trinidad<\/em> role, \u201cis a clear example of how far the character is from my reality, far removed from the image some tried to attach to me in their attempt to defame me,\u201d she added. \u201cI am one of the least harmful people in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Karla](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Le7AjOE107Bh.6yhusliGw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/people_218\/30e4ba98eee7b91e0b3874b244bc2b09\"\/)
