In April 2024, the fact-checking show Vraiment (Really?) on Radio Télévision Suisse cast doubt her 2018 expedition across Tasmania. After the first revelations of 2010, she had claimed to carry a tracker to prove her walks. She refuses to share her GPS data even to the journalist, adding doubts on the wilderness and off-the-beaten-track status of her trek.
