Zsófia Tarjáni, lead singer of Honeybeast, appeared on Endre Kadarkai’s display and openly discussed her childhood, which included a significant relationship with László Görög, who was in a relationship with Judit Hernádi from 1991 to 2003.
“László Görög was, in a way, my stepfather, and our relationship wasn’t particularly pleasant during the last six years or so that he and my mother were together. So, we didn’t have a good connection,” Tarjáni began, explaining that their relationship deteriorated when she became a teenager and began to speak her mind.
“László never really went through adolescence, at least not in the way I understand it. He didn’t have that rebellious phase. I’m a completely different person; I’ve always had a rebellious streak, a fire, a wild side, a punk attitude, something like that. He didn’t. And I don’t blame him for that.”
The singer went on to explain that their personalities clashed so much that they went months without speaking to each other, despite living in the same house.
“I felt like I wasn’t doing anything right, and that my presence bothered him. We started having these periods of really awkward silent treatment. This was mostly when I was 13 or 14, when we practically couldn’t be in the same room,” she continued, adding that her weight also became a point of contention in their relationship.
“I received a lot of criticism about my weight. About why I eat, about why I put certain things in the shopping cart… about not eating so much, about not being desirable unless an American millionaire came along and said he wanted a woman with this much… well, you get the idea. It went pretty deep.”
She added that this dynamic may be connected to her current relationship status. “Considering everything, it might be part of the reason why I haven’t been in a relationship since 2008, and honestly, I haven’t really missed it.”
Tarjáni previously stated that she has been single since her last breakup in 2008, but believes things might have been different if her father, Péter Tarjáni, had been more involved in her upbringing.
“The fact that my father didn’t live with us also played a role. But even if he had, my father didn’t really have a father figure himself. How could he be a father if he didn’t have one? Neither of us had a role model for fatherhood. So, I can’t really fault either of them. If that part had been in order, if the father situation had been different, I probably would be married now. Or maybe not. But it would have been easier,” she said, as reported by story.hu.
