O’Garro revealed that she has not received any income for a year and has lost deals following the accusations. She wrote on Instagram that her “career is ruined,” regardless of the trial’s outcome. Sherelle Smith, who was also accused of assaulting Hussein, was found not guilty during the same trial.
