=Accident=
After completing high school, Lopes had the desire to go on exchange and study abroad. However, during a trip with a friend, DJ Alan Maciel, she was hit by a driver who fled the scene, near Porto de Galinhas. They were on their way to a show when their vehicle had a flat tire. At the time of the exchange, a car hit them and threw them about 20 meters away. Vanessa was holding the flashlight so that Maciel could have a better view when changing the tire.{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-07 |date=2019-08-02 |first=Robert |language=pt-br |last=Sarmento |title=Delegado pede ajuda para identificar suspeito de ter atropelado DJ e estudante |url=https://tvjornal.ne10.uol.com.br/por-dentro/2019/08/02/delegado-pede-ajuda-para-identificar-suspeito-de-ter-atropelado-dj-e-estudante-173887/index.html |website=TV Jornal}} At the time of the accident, Vanessa was just 18 years old, and this traumatic experience made her rethink the idea of living far from family and friends, leading her to conclude that it wasn't worth going abroad.{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-07 |date=2019-08-03 |first=J.

Throughout her participation in BBB 24, Lopes revealed that she was confronting emotional triggers from past traumas, showing signs of psychological instability. Her instability increased when comments appeared alleging that she was a superficial person, constantly looking in the mirror, and that her attitudes, including her moments of crying, were not genuine.{{cite web|date=14 January 2024 |publisher=gshow |title=Entenda a treta do espelho entre Nizam e Vanessa Lopes no BBB 24 |url=https://gshow.globo.com/realities/bbb/bbb-24/dentro-da-casa/noticia/entenda-a-treta-do-espelho-entre-nizam-e-vanessa-lopes-no-bbb-24.ghtml}} When faced with the accusations, Vanessa remembered difficult situations she had faced before the reality show, clarifying that her habit of looking in the mirror was a strategy to deal with the temporomandibular disorder she faces and that she seeks to recover.{{cite web|date=14 January 2024 |publisher=Terra |title=Vanessa Lopes e Nizam conversam sobre tetra no BBB24: "Fanfic louca" |url=https://www.terra.com.br/diversao/tv/reality-shows/vanessa-lopes-e-nizam-conversam-sobre-tetra-no-bbb24-fanfic-louca,1be347d89db7733c22ba5620df73a6bbs6to1lhq.html}} In the following days, her emotional instability intensified, reflected in her increasingly weakened participation.
