Accident
After completing high school, Vanessa had the desire to go on exchange and study abroad. However, during a trip with a friend, DJ Alan Maciel, she was hit by a driver who fled the scene, near Porto de Galinhas. They were on their way to a show when their vehicle had a flat tire. At the time of the exchange, a car hit them and threw them about 20 meters away. Vanessa was holding the flashlight so that Alan could have a better view when changing the tire. [21] At the time of the accident, Vanessa was just 18 years old, and this traumatic experience made her rethink the idea of living far from family and friends, leading her to conclude that it wasn't worth going abroad.

Mental health
Throughout her participation in BBB 24, Vanessa revealed that she was confronting emotional triggers from past traumas, showing signs of psychological instability.

Vanessa was also invited to participate in the program Altas Horas to discuss her mental health and shared the following statement:
I am fine. Now I'm in treatment, but I'm still scared. Admitting that you are sick is a little scary, but it is part of the process, the treatment and also to talk a little about mental health. I'm happy to talk to you about this here. I'm fine, but I want to get even better.
