‘I feel like, because so many people saw me in a sexually vulnerable state without my permission, I feel like they’ve seen enough of my sexual side.

And if it were, I know for a fact that I would be judged for it, left, right and center. They judge me if I upload a photo in a bikini saying, you know, oh, she’s happy to be seen like that, but she’s not happy to be seen in this video…

“And it’s ridiculous, but unfortunately it’s my reality now and the show was very understanding and aware of that.” They said, look, this is completely up to you and we’ll be happy for you to handle it however you want.

“I think everyone deserves to rehabilitate themselves and find a way to become a better person and I really hope that’s the case.

‘Other than that. I don’t think I’ll think about it too much and I’ll take it day by day, but I try not to let my past invade my present moment.’
