She never acted as a presenter for AzTV, Culture TV, or Sports TV, though circulated news reported so; as a result, her reputation got distorted. The episode served to confirm how influential distortion can be and how journalism must always remain honest. This experience heightened awareness within Gulmammadova on why it is necessary for media organizations to double-check before releasing information because, by doing so, they may end up classifying false stories, leading to reputational damages. Despite the challenges posed by negative criticism, Gulmammadova remained unwavering in her dedication to her work. Even though there is greater weight given to how she approached public scrutiny in terms of job opportunities available for her in the future. Gulmammadova eventually not only survived but also emerged from the incident, renewed by a sense of purpose—to rewrite the narrative about herself. Then, armed with education, skills, and an insistence on journalistic principles, she decided that there would be no turning back, henceforth having taken an oath to make something out of herself in broadcasting without unsolicited controversies.
