“I’m so proud of my man,” she said.
‘So much hate when he took on this role. So many people trying to shame him for doing it. Despite all the mockery of #Notmyken and the articles written about him, he created this completely original, hilarious, heartbreaking, and now iconic character and took him all the way to the Oscars. “I’m beyond proud to be Ken’s Barbie.”
