MelRose Michaels was enjoying a night out with friends when a furious woman asked her if she was embarrassed by the fact that “everyone had seen her naked.”

But the aggressive and public attack left her seething.

“When you do that, all of a sudden it’s forbidden or against the rules. It’s so mind-blowing to me,” she said.
Her modeling job was even canceled because agencies found out about her main business.
“Our self-esteem is not canceled by our career choice,” she says.
