Sinabi rin ni Maricar na natutunan niyang pakawalan ang kanyang "death grip" sa kanyang magandang reputasyon matapos itong mamantsahan dahil sa eskandalo.
Aniya, "I feel like I've been turned inside out.
"Kasi all my life, parang the way I would do things, the way I would live life, feeling ko na tama is, you know, you look good, you do good, external stuff.
“Basta you look good, people don't see the bad stuff you're doing, you're OK."

Ibinahagi rin ni Marcar na isang taon matapos niyang masangkot sa eskandalo, sinimulan niyang mag-reflect sa nangyari nang may ibang pananaw.
Inamin din niyang may bahagi siya sa nangyari.
Saad niya: "I saw my part in it.
"Kasi for the longest, I couldn't see what I did wrong, like, or parang the thought was, 'What did I do to deserve something this big?'
"I can't talk about this without going into God.
"When I see my situation through His eyes, and I start to also know kung sino ba talaga Siya, mas nagiging klaro na.”
Sabi umano niya sa sarili, “Sablay ka din, e.”
Dagdag pa ni Maricar, "It's accumulation of your little choices that were hurting God and hurting yourself in the process."
