She further revealed that her dress was called “extremely vulgar” by somebody. Not just that, she also mentioned, “It became this huge controversy on the internet. And some of my agents were mad at me because they thought it was too s*xy.”
She continued, “I was in my 20s, and I hadn’t registered that it was so s*xy because there is a panel in the middle, but it looks like there isn’t” adding, “It caused this whole thing.”
She recalled calling the person for stating, “it was a vulgar dress ‘s*xist,’ and there was drama.” Even after facing backlash for the same, she liked her dress.
She stated, “I was basically called out for wanting attention, which I think is interesting, because you go to red carpets for attention, basically. Essentially, it’s part of your job as a celebrity.”

“Lol never said my love video was a feminist statement. But now it’s worth saying that telling women what to do with their bodies & s*xuality is actually just classic s*xism. I can have opinions about feminism & also do s*xy photo shoots k thanks.”
