Gabi Tóth responds to mockery regarding her graduation certificate

Singer Gabi Tóth has responded via social media to recent mockery regarding her lack of a high school graduation certificate. The dispute follows comments made by Bogi Puskás-Dallos, a new judge on the talent show Megasztár, who replaced Tóth on the panel.

During the filming of the show's auditions, Puskás-Dallos reportedly joked about going to take her graduation exams, a reference to Tóth's decision to prioritize her music career over formal education in 2005. In a sarcastic video response, Tóth criticized the show's producers for using her name to market the production despite her no longer being a judge.

Tóth also addressed Puskás-Dallos directly, stating that while talent and voice are required for the judging panel, having a certificate is at least a baseline. She expressed that she is no longer concerned with the pressures of television conformity, noting that she spent 20 years attempting to please audiences and is now indifferent to public criticism.
