Personal life
In 2020, Brandberg posted on Twitter she had a phobia of bananas. Bananaphobia can trigger nausea and anxiety.[3] In 2024, Expressen reported her colleagues must ensure any room the minister is due to visit is banana free.[4] Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson said that Brandberg's phobia had not affected government work. Brandberg has said that she is getting professional help.[5] Fellow Swedish politician Teresa Carvalho, a Social Democrat who shares the same phobia, has said "on this issue we stand united against a common enemy".[6]
