On her past sexual abuse
“I’ve experienced lots of things in my life, I know a thing or two about sexual abuse, so for me to be called a “w—-” and have someone talking about my private parts is for sure a trigger. I don’t want to get into all the ugly details, but let’s just say my life was affected by that word, and it is something that cuts me deep. It seems that has followed me throughout my life. Maybe because I am considered somewhat attractive, the go-to insults are ‘w—-, h-, b—h, and slut.’ I remember not being able to have sex for years after what happened to me, and men getting frustrated with me and again using that word to hurt me when that was the furthest thing from the truth. I wish people would be careful with the words they chose [sic] to use, because you never know someone’s back story. So I was demanding NeNe tell me why she was calling me a w—-, and she refused to answer that question, so that was why it was so difficult for me to accept a simple, ‘Well, I’m sorry!’ ”
